Longer Itinerary Meant More Opportunities for Mivtzoim

Despite flight delays and layovers, a group of bochurim returning from yeshivos in Beit Shemesh and Tzfas for summer shlichus in the United States transformed their long travel route into a journey of impact, putting on Tefillin with over 20 fellow Yidden along the way.

Despite flight delays and layovers, a group of bochurim returning from yeshivos in Beit Shemesh and Tzfas for summer shlichus in the United States transformed their long travel route into a journey of impact, putting on Tefillin with over 20 fellow Yidden along the way.

Traveling via Cyprus, the bochurim took every opportunity to approach Jewish travelers throughout the journey — at the airport, during transit, and on the plane — offering them the chance to wrap Tefillin, many of them for the first time in years.

The spontaneous outreach created a massive Kiddush Hashem, turning ordinary travel into a chain reaction of mitzvos and Jewish pride across borders and altitudes.
