What Makes People Run Today?
About 60 years ago, an author named Bud Schulberg wrote a
popular book about the extremes of free enterprise and
competition, showing how ugly they can become, entitled
What Makes Sammy Run? The book described a wheeler-
dealer named Sammy Glick who clawed his way up to the top of
the Hollywood heap.

No Simple Sucking Candy
by Malka Adler
It was such a relatively minor incident, but upon reflection,
quite significant. The last time I was in Geula, I had put on
some extra walking mileage in order to purchase a particular
brand of sugarless sucking candy.

The Belz Beis Medrash in
Yerushalayim: Full Circle
by Yisroel Spiegel
The earliest time of Kiddush Levonoh -- Tammuz
The time of Kiddush Levonoh everywhere in the world
begins when it is Tuesday night, the eve of 2 Tammuz (July
4). Actually in Eretz Yisroel, eastern countries, and most of
Europe it is impossible to make a berochoh on the moon
this night since its beginning time is after the moon sets.
However, in northwest Europe one can make Kiddush
Levonoh according to the difference in time zones in
comparison to Eretz Yisroel. In America one can make
Kiddush Levonoh from the beginning of that night.
At this month there is a solar eclipse whose peak is at 10:33
A.M. and the appearance of the astronomical new moon is at
10:20. There is therefore reason to consider making
Kiddush Levonoh earlier in Europe by approximately a
hour and a half.
