& COMMENT
Is Anyone Bored with Purim?

Charvona's Mention: The Extent of
Kiddush Hashem
by Rav Yerachmiel Kram
The question is asked why Charvona only deserves an honorable
mention, rather than a full blessing. And why, altogether,
does he get that much? Are we not told in Pirkei deR'
Eliezer that it was Eliyohu Hanovi disguised as Charvona
who gave the timely suggestion to King Achashverosh that
Haman's gallows was all prepared?
A Shmuess for Shabbos Zochor
By HaRav Sholom Schwadron zt'l
"Remember what Amoleik did to you, on the way when you were
coming out of Egypt . . . " (Devorim 25:17). There are

yeshiva.

Lebanon.
Dr. Joseph Kaminetsky, a"h
By Rabbi Bernard Goldenberg
It is an experience commonly shared by so many of us. We
visit a family and, during this warm visit, the mantle shelf
in the family living room catches our attention. There we
find, as a majestic story unfolds, the growth of generations.
A place of honor to the grandparents -- and, as our eyes and
heart take note of the rest, we also view the eager faces of
the young ones, the grandchildren and oft, the great-
grandchildren as well.
