MEMOIRS
Osher Leaves Yeshiva
by Anni Rephun Fruchter

Years came and years went and one day we received a call from Osher's Rebbe.

"Why has Osher left the yeshiva?" This was the first we heard of it. When Papa came home from work, Mutti urged him to stay calm. "Can anyone be compelled to study full time? Against his wishes? First let's hear what he has to say. Then we must express our confidence that whatever will be, will not affect his religious observance and love of Torah and mitzvos."

What a Miser!
by R. Chadshai

by Miriam Luxemberg

Being Jews, we are always seeking opportunities for self improvement and refinement, always willing to send the flour through the sifter yet another time. To us, even those extra five pounds are important, worth considering, and worth taking action about.

Your Medical Questions Answered!
by Joseph B. Leibman, MD

This will be our last article in this series on new infectious diseases, although as I said before, I could write many articles on this subject. Today's article is unfortunately a current issue, but it is not for those who are easily frightened. We will be discussing biological warfare.
