FORGET THE YANKEES: YOU ARE A GIANT
Much has been said about the spies Moshe sent to scout the Land of Israel at the request of the Jewish people. Moshe asked them to survey the land, its strengths and weaknesses.

Who doesn’t know the musical Piamenta family, famous for spreading the wellsprings through music? This time, we are not referring to the brothers, Yossi a”h and Avi, but to R’ Avi and his son Yehuda. Yehuda follows in his father’s footsteps and plays the flute. * We asked them to tell us about the father-son shlichus, each from his perspective. * Shlichus through music
