Mazal Tov! From Heathrow to Yerushalayim
February 14th, 2012
Bnei Akiva would like to wish a huge Mazal Tov to some of its chaverim, all of whom have made a tremendous impact on the Tnua throughout the years.
On Sunday 12th February Benjy Caplan and Aimee Hersh were married at The Thistle Hotel, Heathrow. Benjy has just finished spending a year on the Mazkirut as Technical Director, and his impact on the movement has been huge, from Portakabins to record machane numbers. Aimee has been a dedicated Bogeret of Edgware Sviva and has given her time to Bnei Akiva at machanot and svivot. We wish them both Mazal Tov and are thankful for the part they have both played in the Tnua.
Many people would have also been heading to Heathrow, to attend the wedding of Belinda Epstein to Jonny Lipczer taking place at the Inbal Hotel, Yerushalayim. Jonny was Mazkir in 5763 and now works for Bnei Akiva Olami as the head of the British Desk. If you have ever seen any publications from Bnei Akiva UK, from brochures to posters, you will have seen the huge impact he has had, and continues to have, on the Tnua. Even if you haven’t noticed it, his impact has shaped the movement in all that it does today. Belinda is also a keen BA’nik and originally hails from Manchester before making Aliyah in 2003. We are forever grateful for the role they have played in Bnei Akiva.
