& COMMENT
The Modern World: A "Land Full of Chomos"?
Dr. William McGuire, the former head of the UnitedHealth
Group Inc., built up the company, which was near bankruptcy
when he took over, into the second largest insurer in the
United States. The stock price rose from two dollars when Dr.
McGuire took over to 60 dollars, though it has fallen back to
around 50 dollars.
HaRav Shach: At the Helm of the Yeshivos Hakedoshos
by HaRav Dovid Cohen
I once asked Maran ztvk'l for his opinion regarding
accepting to yeshiva gedolah students who had
previously studied in schools that did not conform to the
accepted daas Torah norm. Perhaps such students had
true potential for becoming bnei Torah and it would do
them an injustice to deny them acceptance; perhaps they had
gone to such schools only because their parents had insisted
on it.
In the Proximity of the Tchebiner Rov, ztvk'l
Recollections of R' Shmuel Lieberman
Being in the presence of Rabbenu the Gavad of Tchebin was
always an experience of "gilu bir'odoh — rejoice
in trembling." There was the spiritual uplifting in joy,
combined with great awe. On the one hand, we felt like dwarfs
in the presence of a giant among giants, seized by an
overpowering trepidation of his greatness.
Telolei Oros: Medicine and Halochoh
By Rav Yissochor Dov Rubin
"For I Am Hashem your Healer"
Part I
Telolei Oros presents sources relating to doctors and
patients, the permission that is given to the doctor to heal
and to the patient to see the doctor, the proper effort we
should make in medical matters, the mitzvah of visiting the
sick, the prayers of the sick, and more. May it be Hashem's
will that the verse be fulfilled in us: "The entire malady
that I inflicted upon Egypt I will not inflict upon you, for
I am Hashem your Healer" (Shemos 15:26).
Politica: Peretz' Battle for Survival
By E. Rauchberger
A recent survey has Amir Peretz very worried. In this
particular survey the Labor Party Chairman came in fourth
among various possible candidates for party chairman. Even
his bitter rival, former prime minister Ehud Barak, was ahead
of him in the survey.
