by Arnon Yaffeh, Paris and Yated Ne'eman Staff

On Sunday 19 Adar, HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman arrived in France in order to strengthen the Torah institutions in Paris and Aix-les-Bains, and especially to encourage families to send their children to yeshiva ketanos.

Beis Yisroel: The Day After

Naveh Chazan didn't expect his Shabbos bar mitzvah to end this way. Relatives from all over the country had come to spend Shabbos and celebrate with him in the Yeshivas Machaneh Yisroel Shabbos Guesthouse in Jerusalem's Beis Yisroel neighborhood.

Adass Yisroel Melbourne Celebrates 50 Years
by Shlomo Boruch Abelesz

The Melbourne chareidi Kehilla Adass Yisroel celebrated 50 years since the official establishment of its mosdos hachinuch in 1952. It is the first time in the Kehilla's history that the members have allowed themselves such a `pat on the back' and it was a step taken only after much thought and debate.

The Yahrtzeit of the Holy Rebbetzin of the Dubno Maggid

To The Editor:

For many generations now, the name of the holy Rebbetzin of the Maggid of Dubno zt"l has escaped us. There has never been a mention of this tzadeikes in all the encyclopedia and Jewish Heritage volumes and in fact, some authors have confused the name of the Maggid's mother, the Rebbetzin Hinda zt"l (who was the daughter of Rabbi Nochum of Kobryn) with the name of his wife.


OPINION & COMMENT

The Rambam's Insight into Our Arab Problem

It is interesting -- and perhaps more surprising than it should be -- that we can find a thoroughly appropriate description of our predicament and our feelings in words written over 800 years ago by that great sage who provides us with so much guidance in so much of what we do: the Rambam.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Taking Things Apart

by R' Zvi Zobin

One of the most enjoyable and educational things you can buy your boy (and girl?) is a set of screwdrivers. Having done that, you also need to supply him with things to take apart. If you don't, you risk being greeted with a triumphant, "Look what I did, Abba!" and seeing the innards of your favorite appliance spread over the table.
