The Leibowitz family just moved to Itamar only a few weeks ago after the Fogal family massacre. They lost their son Elazar in a terrorist attack near Hebron.

Lag Ba'Omer March On Itamar

The march began at a look out point called Mitzpeh Matan on the Itamar hill tops.
Tamar fogal participated in the march.

Celebrate Itamar's deep roots in the Land
 |
The Sartaba was the second relay station where torches were lit starting with Mt. Olives in Jerusalem to signal the Jews in Babylonia that the new moon was declared in Jerusalem. It was built by the famous Alexander Yanai, about 150 years before the destruction of the second Temple, as a Chashmoaim fortress.
It is customary that on Lag Baomer youth groups come and light torches on this mountain peak.
"Hashem Hu Hamelech" – translated as G-D is King!
As we read this Shabbat Parashat Bichukotai we must realize that true peace and tranquility will come to the land if we follow Hashem and proclaim that he is the true King.

Yom Haatzmaut - Israel's Independence Day Celebration in Itamar
 |
| A fun night of skits and singing on Itamar's Birthday. |
Itamar had an amazing Yom Haatzmaut celebration which included an outdoor meal and entertainment with a spectacular display of fireworks.
Yom Haatzmaut is the birthday of our community which was founded back in 1984.
Different residents were honored by lighting torches. Charlotte Krantz, Leah Goldsmith's mother who made Aliya almost two years ago, lit a torch as the eldest representative of the four generations of her family living on Itamar.

This Week On Itamar
May 6, 2011
Itamar is back in full swing after the Pesach holiday! On Pesach thousands came to visit Itamar. We also held a very special happening sponsored by and Israeli radio station which included a play for the children and other activities. There were also tractor tours to our hilltop neighborhoods.
Babies!
Mazal Tov to Yisrael Meir and Helah Man on the birth of a daughter Bat Zion. Mazal Tov to Nihorah and Shlomo Head.
Mazel Tov to Chaim and Yasmin on the birth of a son. May Hashem bless them all with a lot of Nachat and success.
Mazal Tov to Sharon and Hilah Peretz on the Bar Mitzvah of their son.
New Itamar Citizens!
Three new families moved to Itamar over the last month and seven more G-D willing are on the way soon.
Projects!
Our community is very busy with many important projects we have continued work on our synagogue which is our major focus now and invite all our friends to help out in this important endeavor.
Thursday night our Itamar Bnei Akivah had a special ceremony commemorating the opening up of the new branch structure which was recently repaired and refurnished. Governor Gershon Masikah, head of the regional counsel of Shomron, attended the event and was honored with putting in the Mezuzah on the doorpost. The branch was dedicated in memory of Yoav Fogal who was a member of the youth movement. Of course, this is still a temporary structure as we hope to one day be able to build a youth cultural center that will include a library, workshop, music, workout, and club room for our youth.
VIP Visitors
Transportation minister Israel Katz visited Itamar today to show his solidarity with us and promised to help our community. He also mentioned that if a Palestinian State is declared unilaterally then Israel must annex all the communities of Judea and Samaria.
