N.Y. Recognizes Yeshiva Education as Equivalent to State Education
The New York State 2018-19 budget, enacted on the first day of Pesach, includes a major new provision that has, for the first time, recognized that a yeshiva education develops the students intellectual abilities, including his or her ability to think critically, that is successfully.
In remarks at a special Yom Iyun of the Beis Medrash for Halacha in the Settlements, HaRav Gershon Edelstein said:
On Wednesday the annual Kinus of Lev L'Achim was held in Bnei Brak, attended by gedolei Yisroel.
The absence of Rabbeinu HaRav Aharon Shteinman zt"l was acutely felt, since kiruv was something that was close to his heart. His son, HaRav Moshe Shteinman said that it was something that he always worked for, many years before the founding of Lev L'Achim.

by HaRav Yehoshua Shklar

Worries about the Rule of Law
by Mordecai Plaut
The investigation against HaRav Ovadia Yosef for his remarks in his motzei Shabbos talk criticizing Education Minister Yossi Sarid and comparing him to Amolek, try as one might, can hardly be seen as a purely legalistic concern for the rule of law. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, this and other actions of the legal and police establishment are carried out in a way that loudly proclaims that the motives are deeply sullied by extraneous considerations.
HUMOR
One More Victory Like This...
by P. Chovav
The champions of the Rule of Law in Israel, surely had reason to celebrate on the day the Attorney General announced his decision to instruct the police to investigate Shas leader, HaRav Ovadia Yosef. His alleged violations included the prohibition against slandering one's fellow; clause 4)a( of the Order for the Prevention of Terror; clause 288 of the Penal Law forbidding the offending of a public worker; clause 192 of the Penal Law which forbids making threats of violence.
