Barak: Military Draft Legislation in the Upcoming Winter Session
"In the upcoming Knesset's winter session, the government will have to introduce a definitive bill regarding the military draft [of yeshiva students] to replace the Tal arrangement which expired a week ago, per the Supreme Court decision." This was the announcement on Monday of Defense Minister Ehud Barak, in a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee which dealt with this issue. Barak noted that due to the expiry of the previous law and the lack of any new law, some form of interim agreements will be put into effect until a legal arrangement is arrived at in the Knesset winter session.
An outrage: the Ministry of Education refuses to approve any further educational places for the special children in the chareidi sector about to enter the first grade.
This Monday, TGI published a survey giving the circulation rates of various national newspapers. The facts indicated that Yated Ne'eman was the leading and most influential newspaper in the chareidi sector readership this past year.
"I bless the Jewish community of Monte Carlo that it continue with full vigor to realize the prophetic vision of the [resurrection of the] dried bones for many years to come through the serenity of kedusha and the cooperation of the Council of European Rabbis and the various Jewish organizations which operate throughout the Jewish world. I, like everyone present here, am overwhelmed to see the establishment of a mikveh here in the principality of Monaco. Who ever dreamed this would happen!"
"Of paramount importance," the Steipler would say, "is shemiras einayim."
This was his advice to bochurim who came to seek his guidance in their derech to Torah and fear of Hashem.
Rabbeinu's own complete segregation from earthly concerns was amazing and his immense shemiras einayim no less.
