Our Fire, Our Flame And Our Future
by HaRav Aviezer Piltz

and bear the burden of earning a livelihood, with all that
it entails, yet who still find time every day for Torah
study, it moves me. See, am Yisroel is still alive!
On Lies and Exaggerations
By Nosson Zeev Grossman
Outgoing Prime Minister Barak has the dubious distinction of
being the least respected leader Israel has produced so far.
By the time his premiership came to an end, he had lost
almost all support even from his friends in the media. Why,
asked one journalist, was there such universal condemnation
of his behavior, among all his colleagues, who are all only
too cynically aware of the realities of political morality?

Society imposes certain criteria by which human achievement

lifetimes have an opportunity to perform a heroic act that
will attract the attention of the masses.

Fish Set Free
by M. Naftali
Fishermen at Ashdod beaches have had a lot of work on their
hands recently. Hundreds of fisherman have spread out along
Ashdod beaches to hook Denis fish following the storm that

Paying the Orchestra
by P. Moses
Everyone is equal before the law--except for those who are
more equal than others.
The well-endowed incitement racket that has taken shape over
the last few years in the area of budget payments to Torah
institutions relies heavily on a procedural principle that
government funds should not be distributed without fixed,
standardized eligibility criteria.

He

by B. Adler
