With these words, the Torah seems to be telling us that it is appropriate to be aware of what has transpired before us, to ponder what has happened in history, to consider the experiences of those who lived in generations gone by. While one might study history out of a sense of curiosity, out of an appreciation of an exciting story, or out of a quest for general knowledge, the Torah here indi- cates that there is a more profound goal, namely, to assimilate the message that the past is relevant to us in the present.

  • Abstract and Table of Contents
    430 MW combined cycle power plant National Infrastructure Plan #34 Environmental Impact Assessment Including response to requirements of completions, November 2012 "And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around…." Ezekiel 1:27 EIA for National Infrastructures Plan 34 – IPM Power Plant – November 2012 Conducted and Edited by AdaMa – Environmental and Geological Sciences About the project - National Infrastructure Plan No. 43 ("The plan") designates land and determines building instructions for the construction of a power plant with a capacity of about 430 MW. The power plant ("The plant") will be fuel burned by natural gas. Initiating the station and declaring it as a national infrastructure is the result of the Ministry of National Infrastructure and The Ministry of Environmental Protection Policy. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure's policy, 20% of production capacity in the country will be from power plants owned by private producers, which will be duly licensed by the state. According to the Ministry of Environment Policy, power plant will be located in areas designated for industry. The first version of the EIA was submitted in September 2011. The EIA submitted in January 2012 contains additions required by the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The current version is submitted after completing the conditions for deposit as provided by the permit of the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The proposed station is on a lot the size of approximately 60 "dunam" (unit for measuring land area, about 1/4 acre) in the Beer Tuvia industrial zone, tangent to road 40.

It was created eight years ago by the merger of a Reform and Conservative congregation and many members still identify themselves strongly with one of those movements. Although the synagogue has chosen not to affiliate with any movement, the Reform prayer book is used on Friday night and the Conservative prayer book is used on Saturday morning and for the high holidays. The congregation is completely gender-egalitarian. The members of the congregation are well-educated, middle to upper-middle class and concentrated in the thirty-five to fifty-five age group. Most members are married and have children, though there is a small group of singles in their twenties and thirties and a few older people. An unusual number of congregants have strong Jewish backgrounds. At least thirty have gone to day schools or Yeshivot as children. Groups in the congregation There are four distinct groups in the congregation: 1. The Right wing - Most are day school or Y eshivah graduates.
