OPINION & COMMENT

Barak May Survive, but not his Deal with Syria

If the lower echelons of an army do not follow the orders of the commander, it is not only their dereliction. It is clearly a failure of the commander to lead effectively. If the result of their dereliction is a big blunder, it clearly reflects on the man at the top.

By HaRav Shimon Moshe Diskin zt"l

"Rovo said: `Why did Hashem write yetzias Mitzrayim in the parsha of taking interest and of tzitzis? HaKodosh Boruch Hu said: "I, Who discerned in Egypt between the drop [of sperm] of a first born and that of a child not a first born, will punish him who ties kolo ilan (imitation techeiles for tzitzis) on his garment and claims that it is techeiles"' (Bovo Metzia 61b)."

Choshen Mishpot
by L. Jungerman

"And these are the judgments -- `And' comes to supplement the first ones. Just as the first judgments were from Sinai, so are these from Sinai."

by HaRav Mordechai Shmuel Kroll zt"l

The following was published at that time in chareidi periodicals and reprinted last year by the family of HaRav Kroll zt'l in Maso Damesek: a compilation of droshos, articles, and thoughts about current problems.
