OPINION
& COMMENT
Mass Aliyah is No Goal
Prime minister Sharon has been very free with declarations
of intent in the weeks before he actually took office, and
he has informed us of his goals and plans in many areas. One
of these that is of special interest to most of the English-
speaking Jewish world is the subject of aliya -- moving to
Eretz Yisroel.
Teshuvos About Kiruv Rechokim
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
At one of the gatherings organized by Lev L'Achim, an opportunity was given for

Despite Everything, It is Purim!
By HaRav Mordechai Shmuel Krull
HaRav Mordechai Shmuel Krull zt'l, the first rav of Kfar Chassidim
(Rechasim) in northern Eretz Yisroel (and formerly rav and av beis din of
Zurevitz and Novogrod-Sovarsk in Russia) wrote this essay before Purim in the midst
of the dreadful churban of Europe -- but its relevance is evident for us too. He
urges the reader to learn from Megillas Esther the lesson of bitochon that
Hashem will save us.
"They Are Holy Raiment"
by L. Jungerman
In Parshas Bereishis it is written, "And Elokim made for Odom and his wife
leather tunics and He clothed them." Chazal reveal to us that the making of these
garments had a very profound significance.
Behind the Miracles
To the Editor:
Having also been a witness to the 1996 Dizengoff Center bomb
("An Unrecognized Miracle from Erev Purim 5756, 7 Adar), as
well as the October 1994 Dizengoff bus bomb and the 1997
Purim Apropos Cafe bomb, the horror of the concussion and of
seeing with one's own eyes suddenly ruined bodies, vehicles
and buildings is a frightful experience.
Calling All South Africans
To the Editor:
This is a message to all South Africans who lived in the small country communities.
Since coming to Israel seven years ago I have been writing stories about my days in
these places. They have been well received. Many readers have called me to say that
they paint a picture that was unknown to them. It occurred to me that these
communities have disappeared and only our memories remain. By collecting these
memories, the history of these unique communities could be preserved.
Politica
by E. Rauchberger
The next government will be overstaffed by all standards.
According to indications, 28-30 ministers will serve, along
with another ten deputy ministers, while the coalition will
include no more than 85 Knesset members. The result is that
one-third of Knesset members (40 out of 120), and more than
half of the members of the new coalition (if Knesset
committee heads and the Knesset chairman are added to the
list of jobholders) will hold posts.
Shulamit Aloni: "We were taught to see Diaspora Jews as
Human Dust"
by S. Yisraeli
In cutting remarks about Diaspora rejection ingrained in
Zionist education, Shulamit Aloni, a member of the
generation that grew up on these values, wrote last week
about "nationalist education," which has left its mark in a
variety of areas.
