Becoming Mentschen or Becoming Western?

Every year the Israeli media in this season is full of self- congratulatory, heartwarming articles about the opening of the new secular school year. Education is certainly a good thing, isn't it?

Chosen Mishpat Issues in the Modern World — What a Modern Beis Din Must Cope With
by R' B. Yisraeli

We paid a visit to HaRav Yehuda Silman, of Bnei Brak, a prominent posek, and, wedging ourselves in between his many visitors and other affairs, engaged him in a talk about the laws of Choshen Mishpat which are becoming increasingly important but complex. We were able to ask some penetrating questions and to get frank answers.

Additional Luach Information

The Shabbos after Tishah B'Av is called Shabbos Nachamu because of the haftorah in Yeshaya 40 "Console, console My people" that is said on that Shabbos. This haftoroh starts a series of shivah denechemosah (seven haftoros of consolation).

The fifteenth of Menachem Av (Tu B'Av) is considered a Yom Tov because of several reasons: First, it is the day that bnei Yisroel stopped dying in the Sinai Desert. Second, bnei Yisroel were then allowed to marry from one shevet to the other, and those from shevet Binyomin were allowed to marry within bnei Yisroel. Third, on this day Hoshei'a ben Aloh removed the barricades originally put up by Yerovam ben Navot preventing bnei Yisroel to be oleh regel. Fourth, bnei Yisroel then stopped chopping down wood for the mizbei'ach and therefore they had more time to study Torah. Sixth, on this day those killed in Beitar were buried.
