Published a Popular Weekly Flyer Explaining the Torah Reading

Among my many activities as chaplain, I conducted prayer services, I led kiddush on Shabbat and holidays, and I both gave a class on the Torah reading of the week and published a flyer explaining the Torah reading and its present-day implications for an IDF soldier defending the Land of Israel.

This flyer was very popular and was printed in the thousands. Not only did the soldiers study it, but some even used it to teach others. It was spiritual advice that they all clearly needed. When I finished my tour of duty, I had to make the decision whether to stay on or return to teaching, but the Rebbe advised, “Where you are successful, that’s where you should stay.” So I stayed in the army for fourteen years total.
