Rabbonim Launch Keren Shevi'is Fundraising Drive
Gedolei Torah and Chassidus have launched a fundraising drive for Keren Shevi'is in advance of Shabbos Parshas Ki Sovo, which the organization has declared its official fundraising Shabbos. A delegation of Keren Shevi'is heads made a round of visits to the homes of gedolei Yisroel, who showered them with encouragement for their efforts to stand by thousands of farmers who have gladly committed to keep Shmittah properly.
Following a request by farmers at vineyards and orchards located at Gimzu and other moshavim in Central Israel, members of the Otzar Beis Din, headed by HaRav Nissim Karelitz visited the sites to answer practical questions encountered as the Shmittah year approaches.
The High Court rejected a provocative petition demanding the Justice Minister, the Chief Rabbinate Council and the Dayanim Appointing Committee appoint dayanim who are attorneys at law.
Israel Railways is scheduled to open its Modi'in Line on Motzei Shabbos parshas Ki Sovo. The first train will depart from the station on the edge of the city at 9:22 p.m., destined for Tel Aviv.
Atty. Amnon De Hartoch, who slapped MK Rabbi Yaakov Cohen in a corridor of the Knesset building six weeks ago, was removed from his post as head of support funding at the Justice Ministry and given a temporary Justice Ministry job that does not require visits to the Knesset. The decision was reached during a meeting of the Civil Service Commission.

According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say tachanun
from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after Isru Chag (there
are other minhogim that do not say tachanun
until after the seven days of hashlomoh that follow
Shavuos).
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we do not say tachanun like on
every Rosh Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom
HaMeyuchas since after yetzias Mitzrayim Hashem
commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel: "Now therefore
if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then
you shall be My own treasure from among all peoples"
(Shemos 19:5) to prepare them for Torah. Afterwards,
the third, forth, and fifth of Sivan are the Sheloshes
Yemei Hagboloh when bnei Yisroel waited for
kabolas HaTorah (Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see
Shabbos 86-88).
We do not say vetzidkoscho tzedek on Shabbos since it
is the YOm MaMeyuchas
