UTJ Election Campaign Into High Gear UTJ media broadcasts as well as tireless workers all over the
country will focus on the idea that the State of Israel must
strengthen Yiddishkeit and tradition and that this can be
achieved only by voting Gimmel. The convergence of hundreds of thousands to Meron on Lag
B'Omer was marred by the tragedy of the death of two young
women from the religious community of Beit Shemesh when the
bus they were traveling in to Meron overturned. Appointments Announced at the European Aguda Convention The announcement at last week's European Aguda convention
held in Bournemouth that two of Britain's leading gedolei

UTJ Achievement in Buenos Aires Elections The United Torah Judaism list of the large Ashkenazic
community of Buenos Aires, Argentina received 20% of the
votes in the community elections making it the second largest
party, an accomplishment which will influence the entire
community in the forthcoming years. We wish to say it clearly: we support the democratic system
of government. We think that it is a good, effective system
of governance that has proven itself good for the Jews and
good for humanity in the more than two centuries that it has

The earliest time of Kiddush Levonoh -- Sivan
The time of Kiddush Levonoh everywhere in the world
begins when it is Tuesday, 1:28 P.M., 3 Sivan (May 18). The
actual time in most of the world is therefore from the
beginning of the night, the eve of 4 Sivan. In the extreme
western countries one can already make a brocho on the
moon from the eve of 3 Sivan from the beginning of the night.
However, in the extreme western countries even on the eve of
4 Sivan it is impossible to make a brocho since the
moon sets before the beginning of the zman.
The astronomical new moon follows the molad this month
by one hour and thirty-eight minutes and is at 3:05 P.M.
However, during the three days following the astronomical new
moon the moon approaches its lowest point (perigee) and
advances extremely quickly. As a result even in the far
eastern countries those who are makpid to wait for
seven full days after the molad can make Kiddush
Levonoh from Motzei Shabbos in the beginning of
the night.
