Maranan Gedolei Yisrael shlita on The Importance of Establishing Ongoing Chizuk and Mussar Talks in Kollelim

It is a fact that the level of the generations is going downward, while the spiritual atmosphere is also deteriorating from day to day. It is superfluous to explain the urgent need to establish times for reevaluating where one stands, and in the past, the obligation to study Mussar in kollelim as in yeshivos has been stressed.

"To Bequeath Knowledge and Wisdom through Chizuk in Torah, Mussar and Yirah in the Kollelim"

In a gathering of Roshei Yeshiva which took place this week in the home of HaRav Arye Finkel, Rosh Yeshivas Mir Modi'in Illit, the foundation of a new project was announced. Its aim is to establish shiurim in Torah and Mussar through "Chizku", which is an offshoot of "Orchos Yosher" headed by HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, to encourage the study of Mussar through regular shmuessen and vaadim within the kollelim throughout the country. At this historic meeting, the letter of Gedolei Yisrael was read aloud, encouraging the vital need for every Ben Torah to hear words of chizuk and yiras Shomayim and to make continual spiritual self examinations.

"And I Shall Separate You From the Nations For Me"

The sacred writings explain that golus Edom, our present exile, is like golus Mitzrayim. Let us examine this in depth.

14th Annual Agudas Yisroel Yerushalayim Yarchei Kallah

For four days, some 250 bnei Torah will escape the shackles of cell phones, emails, and day-to-day work, and enter the avirah of Toras Eretz Yisroel at this year's Agudas Yisroel of America's Yerushalayim Yarchei Kallah, to be held at the Ramada Hotel commencing Monday, 28 Teves(January 19). The Yarchei Kallah will effectively transform the main ballroom at the hotel into a full-fledged Yeshiva Gedolah. Monday through Thursday from early morning until late at night participants will delve into the sugyos of Bircas Hamozone, Brochoh Acharonah, as discussed in Perek Shloshoh She'ochlu of Maseches Brochos.

Opinion and Comment
Antisemitism Can be Managed, but not Eliminated

by Mordecai Plaut

If a Jew wants to solve the problem of antisemitism he must commit some kind of suicide - either physical or at least cultural. Antisemitism is part of the lot of the Jew, and it will be around as long as the exile.
