- In yet another display of growth in the Land of Israel
yesterday, the new community of Migron (Samuel I 14,2; Isaiah 10, 28) celebrated
its launching in the Binyamin region, roughly between Psagot and Michmash,
on the road to Beit El and Ofrah. Its first families arrived six months
ago, and it today boasts 30 families and five singles, as well as a fledgling
nursery and daycare center. Hundreds of people came to celebrate with the
residents yesterday, in a program featuring the introduction of a new Torah
scroll, lectures, and entertainment for children.
