Is Modern Entertainment Any Good for the Soul?
By Rabbi Nosson Zeev Grossman
The questions that I will discuss this time are: is it
possible to have religious entertainment, entertainment with
a "hechsher" produced with good intentions and
containing religious motifs? Can a Torah-observant Jew live
peacefully with the modern entertainment culture, even
before checking its programs and the quality of the

When is Machlokes Considered Like Sholom?
by HaRav Yehoshua Rosenberg
It is one of the wonders of our Holy Torah, one of its
hidden secrets, something that stems from its inner essence,
that the interpretation of Rashi on a posuk that we
studied in the dawn of our youth accompanies us the rest of

Torah giants and have plumbed its hidden treasures. Its
understanding, nonetheless, does change and comes to fit
each time and age according to one's individual spiritual
world.

leader and you are his follower, or Korach is the leader and
you are his follower?

opposite ever since taking office.
18 Rotel: A Wonderful Segulah
To the Editor:
This year I merited to be at the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon
bar Yochai on Lag B'omer, and I was impressed by the
dedication of all the people distributing chai rotel.
Every few meters, someone "forced" me to have a drink.
Ashrecho Yisroel!
