OPINION
& COMMENT
Pesach: The Victory of Light
and Truth
"Will the formula at last be found, by which love can coexist
peaceably with justice, and freedom with law -- on this
earth? Will light and truth finally gain genuine victories?
Or will science and art debase themselves and increasingly
become accomplices of sensualism and despiritualization? Will
the mind of man bend ever lower under the yoke of
sensuality?"
Century 2000
by Rabbi Nochum Eisenstein

newspaper being distributed in English and Hebrew called
"Partnership 2000: A Century of Progress for Chicago's Jewish
Community."

the Splitting of the Sea
by Rabbi Meir Yisraelovitch

host of other creatures, great and small, from the birds in
the trees to the ants in the ground, have elaborate modes of
communication that scientists are only beginning to learn
about.
You Must Toil in Torah!
by HaRav Reuven Gershonowitz, zt"l
The gemora says in Megilla (3a), "We desist
from Torah study ("bitul Torah") in order to come and
hear the reading of the Megilla." This is learned by a
kal vochomer from the case of avoda in the
Beis Hamikdosh: If the avoda which is so
important may be abandoned, how much more the study of the
Torah.
Giving Thanks for Great Miracles
and for Daily Life
by L. Jungerman
"And if they shall bring a thanks offering . . . " We give
thanks for great miracles, such as being taken out of Egypt,
and for daily life. Are these the same thing?
