More Precious Than Gold(steins):

As ELAL flight 002 takes off from Los Angeles International carrying about six or so Goldsteins, the vibrant LA. Zionist community will feel sudden reprecussions hitting them like a ton of bricks. About three years ago Bnei Akiva in Los Angeles was stuck in a stalemate, neither growing nor diminishing. Then, all of a sudden a seemingly simple family named "The Goldsteins" appeared like a bat out of hell ready to resurrect Bnei Akiva in the West Coast.

Yehuda and Dorit single handedly turned the "lishka" into a warm and friendly office. They made Camp Moshava the Jewish Orthodox sleepaway camp in California. The Goldsteins put the "camp" in Moshava. Another great accomplishment was the Goldsteins work in turning Snif into the most frequently used household word. It was no longer scratch n' sniff, but finally it was Snif.

Mach Hach Ba'Aretz was strengthened significantly by Yehuda's astute ability in picking the cream of LA's teenagers, who were to participate on the program. His strong warning to all teenagers on this program was heard around the world. "If you try, you fly." The list goes on with regard to the brilliant work the Goldsteins amassed in their three years in Los Angeles. Since there are no ads in this paper we need to conserve money and therefore the list must continue in our heart and not just on paper.

"The dance may have ended way to soon, but at least we got to dance."
