This open letter sent by Shalom to both the Bet Shemesh and Ramat Bet Shemesh lists, in English, is presented in its entirety for your viewing pleasure. I find it [...]

Something to be proud of in Ramat Bet Shemesh. Bet Sefer Harel was chosen to host the city’s annual Shavua Hasefer. Ever notice that the “week” has turned into a month? Tonight was the main event with vendors selling discounted books, food, jewelry, etc… There was also [...]
Was it swept under the rug, or did it not happen?
Today’s Haaretz newspaper has a long article on the story that has been brewing here in our little village. Today’s article states that Haredi parents in Ramat Bet Shemesh who have complained of sexual abuse from teachers in the schools, have been ostracized in [...]
The mall being built next to central park and straddling Nahal Timna is nearing its grand opening.
Sources tell me that it could be another month or two for the municipality to grant all the final approvals. Negotiations with Haredi leaders and new store owners still grappling with the future identity of this new [...]
Since we last wrote about the problems facing the haredi community in Bet Shemesh and other towns, a very prominent Rabbi in Ramat Bet Shemesh has publicly challenged the head of the organization who is helping parents to bring these issues to the forefront. Obviously, the situation is very delicate. At what point does an [...]
The Israeli society in general, and the tight-knit haredi communities of Jerusalem, Ashkelon, and Ramat Bet Shemesh have been rocked by a number of high profile sexual abuse scandals in the past year.

Yesterday was the 30th annual Bet Shean Half Marathon (21.1KM) which I ran and completed in 1:49. It was my first time running in Bet Shean. What a great event!
This race is considered a favorite among Israeli running clubs since the terrain is mostly flat and the organization is top-notch. It is also considered a [...]
Moshe Abutbul is the Sha”s candidate for Mayor of Bet Shemesh. In the final day before the elections, RBS residents have gotten a steady flow of mail box goodies from Abutbul’s camp. Surprisingly, we’ve seen little from Vaknin or Lerner in the last day.
Today’s Abutbul flyer makes the case for the Anglo RBS community in [...]
Following up on yesterday’s post, to the credit (sic!) of the perpetrators of yesterday’s mess, by this morning, most if not all of them were cleaned up.
However, not to be undersold, today’s leaflet shows that the old bard still has some fight left in him!
Well, I’m impressed that at least this time someone is fessing [...]
