"Chosen People to the Chosen Land" (CPCL) is a monthly newsletter published in the Orthodox Union's Torah Tidbits and sent weekly to shuls throughout Israel where Anglos live. CPCL appears on the OU's web site: www.ou.org/torah/tt/

CPCL promotes the mitzvah of Aliya. They are looking for inspiring essays for the "Here to Stay" column. About 500 words long, it should include one or two of the following topics:
• Motivation
• Difficulties or major difficulty
• My contribution to Israel
• How living in Israel has contributed to me
Dry facts are not that essential, as the inspiring tone about the importance of aliya.

When sending your submissions, write in the subject line of your email "Here To Stay".
