OPINION & COMMENT

Chareidi Pluralism

The most common complaint that we hear about Yated is that we criticize other Jews. Why, so many say, do we always have to criticize others, especially those who basically are on our side? We are told that we should accentuate the positive and gloss over the negatives.

by Rabbi N. Z. Grossman

Part 2

In the first part, Rabbi Grossman noted that a time when Torah is being seriously threatened from hostile outside forces is not an appropriate time to engage in internal soul- searching. It certainly does not make sense to call for a voluntary limitation of kollel fellows.

On the Capture of a Murderer
A shmuess delivered by HaRav Yechezkel Levenstein zt'l, on the occasion of the capture of Adolf Eichmann ym"sh

They have recently caught the murderer yemach shemo, and are going to put him on trial. Everyone is talking about it incessantly and the newspapers have whole pages dealing with the subject. We hear public figures saying that we are fortunate to be revenging ourselves on the murderer ym"sh, and that "Hashem is the G-d of vengeance" (Tehillim 94:1).

by R' B. Yisraeli

We bring here a sampling from this fascinating work which is packed with deep content and exalted concepts belonging to tzaddikim of earlier generations.
