HaYesod Field Report #6

By Boaz Michael  | Comments (5) | Posted on February 25, 2008

To capture five minutes of teaching it takes about 3 to 4 hours of on location work, and I am estimating another 8 hours on each segment in the editing studio. It is hard to believe that this is the ratio of time versus output, but we are shooting for a very high standard and want to make it right. We realize that for many people, HaYesod will become their entry point into Torah life. The burden that we all share--to bring a correct view and understanding of the Master to His disciples--is immense. A key to this is for us to properly communicate the believer’s role with and connection to the Land, the People and the Scriptures of Israel.

The Father has provided for us in many amazing ways, and I am very grateful to be able to serve Him and work with you and my colleagues to build His kingdom. Each of you who identifies with this message has a job in this work. Many of you pray for us, others send letters of encouragement, some of you dispel rumors and speak kind words, and all of you, on some level, support us financially. Each one of us have job.

While shooting video in Israel, there are several jobs for which each of us are responsible. You might say we are all wearing multiple hats. Here is a list of our jobs as they relate to this trip:

*Joel (Producer)*

1.) Battery charger
2.) Camera operator #2
3.) Audio technician
4.) Bag hauler
5.) Tape manager

*Daniel (Script Supervisor)*

5.) Scene manager

Were working hard here to serve the best interests of this message—God willing things will continue to come together and we will be able to have the new HaYesod program done in the fall of 2008. At that time it your turn to go out and do your job of declaring this message.

*David, Jeremy, Toby, Daniel, Joel, Boaz, Asaph*
