Judicial Ombudsman Light-Handed — Until HaRav
Sherman Issued Ruling
The Commission for Public Grievances Against Judges is not
carrying out its duties and is even acting improperly, writes
Atty. Rabbi Rafael Shtub at the beginning of a 20-page letter
addressed to Justice Minister Daniel Friedman, in his
capacity as chairman of the Judicial Selection Committee.
Idan and Golan, two brothers who decided to undertake a

Nissim Karelitz and the otzar beis din headed by HaRav
Yosef Efrati have begun distributing a wide range of summer
fruits with kedushas shevi'is. Payment is not made for
the fruits themselves, but for expenses that the beis
din incurred in growing the fruits and distributing them
(e.g. transport, refrigeration, distribution points, etc.).
Rabbonim and dayonim easily dismissed remarks by Justice
Minister Daniel Friedman who called for women to be included
in the Rabbinate botei din. "When the scent of
elections is in the air, the competition begins to see who
strikes hardest at Judaism, halacha and its flag-bearers,"
noted one dayan. "Apparently as part of Friedman's obligation
to the Olmert government he has decided to change direction
and bring votes into the party.
The rabbonim of the Transportation Committee issued a notice
asking ladies, seminary students and Bais Yaakov girls to
closely adhere to halachic guidelines while using all public
transportation, even if it is not running as a Mehadrin
line.
Important issues in education were discussed during a special
meeting held by the Education Congress Steering Committee of
the Jerusalem Municipality's Department for Chareidi
Education, and a series of important decisions were reached
regarding certain educators and their institutions around the
country.
A large gathering was held at the Ohel Moshe shul in Makava,
Hungary to mark the 64th yahrtzeit of the Ohel Moshe, the
Admor of Makava and the surrounding area, and one of the
great rabbonim in Hungary during the previous generation.
