Bochurim on a flight headed to Chicago for the Annual Kinnus Hatmimim Hashluchim, merited a Jewish pilot in the mitzvah of laying Tefillin for the first time, in the cockpit of the plane. The pilot never had a bar mitzvah and had never put on Tefillin. When the Bochurim were getting off the plane the pilot who was seeing off all the passenger gave them a ‘different’ greeting, he said to them ‘Zie Gezunt’ (in Yiddish, Be Well) so they asked, sir are you Jewish…!

To "Hello",
This is Levi Gordon (London) and Mendel Kaminker (Israel), members of the Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim. A vaad that has not stopped doing great work for Bachurim and Yeshivos, since it’s inception 5-6 years ago.
