R' Lander visits

he spoke to the school and said the reason jews during 1st mikdash could do the 3 aveiros was b/c they didn't say bircas haTorah (not enough chashivus or ameilus) and so torah didn't protect them. if u learn torah intensely, even when ur not learning the yetzer hara won't get u. then they had a meeting in rw's office but then moved to the office, just like a kid would move from the kitchen to outside. then RL spoke to the 11th grade and said no i-pods um pcp's [sic] cell-phones or pocket pc's. ( i guess i-river's and palm pilots r allowed.) he also said u have to come on time to shacharis. they may decide to actually b more strict for us so we don't have a bad influence on the atmosphere. we can set up the first 2 seder's but the 3rd will be learned with yeshurunites, lucky them. rl didn't mention yom yerushalayim and no one had to guhlakhs.
