Rabbi Gafni: "Barak Should Apologize to the Chareidim"; Israeli Scene Weighed Down by Barak's Troubles
by Eliezer Rauchberger, M. Plaut and Yated Ne'eman Staff
"Prime Minster Ehud Barak . . . should mount the Knesset
platform as quickly as possible and apologize to the chareidi
sector," Rabbi Moshe Gafni said during the debate on the
Likud's no confidence motion in the government...

New Fund Spurs Torah Novellae

The yeshiva world is very delighted over the founding of the
new Uchesavtem fund, which has been warmly endorsed by
gedolei Yisroel. The purpose of the fund is to
encourage chiddushei Torah.
The Prime Minister and the Amutot
by Mordecai Plaut and Arye Zisman
Many nonprofit organizations (NPOs) sought to advance Barak's
chances in the last elections. Last week, the State
Comptroller's Report -- nicknamed "the Barak Amutot
Report" -- was finally presented. It was extremely critical
of the One Israel campaign, and of Israeli prime minister
Ehud Barak, the victor in the last election and beneficiary
of the election campaign.
OPINION &
COMMENT
Barak May Survive, but not his Deal with Syria
If the lower echelons of an army do not follow the orders of
the commander, it is not only their dereliction. It is
clearly a failure of the commander to lead effectively. If
the result of their dereliction is a big blunder, it clearly
reflects on the man at the top.

Your Medical Questions Answered!
by Joseph B. Leibman, MD
I'd like to discuss what to expect in each kind of
examination that a patient may undergo.
Regular X rays do not hurt, of course. Shielding is
often necessary, which is a heavy lead robe worn over areas
of the body that could be affected by radiation. Most X rays
give off little radiation, but shielding is always a good
idea.

The Importance of the Study of Seder
Nezikin and the Halochos of Monetary Matters

Additional Luach Information:
The earliest time of Kiddush Levonoh -- I Adar
The time of Kiddush Levonoh everywhere in the world
begins on Tuesday morning, 2 I Adar (Feb. 8), at 7:18 A.M.,
in Eretz Yisroel. In most of the world the actual time is
from Tuesday night, the eve of 3 I Adar (Feb. 8) from the
beginning of the night. However, in the extreme western
countries Kiddush Levonoh can be made from the
preceding night, Monday night the eve of 2 I Adar (Feb. 7)
according to the difference in time zones in comparison to
Eretz Yisroel.
This month there is a solar eclipse together with the late
appearance of the new moon after the molad by eight
hours that occurs at 3:03 P.M., on Shabbos parshas
Mishpotim, Feb. 5. Since during the three days after the
molad the moon approaches its apogee (its highest
point) and advances slowly, an additional regression in the
moon's appearance takes place. It is good to take into
consideration the astronomical new moon coming together with
the solar eclipse and not to make Kiddush Levonoh
until three days after it. Accordingly, in the extreme
western countries Kiddush Levonoh should not be made
on Sunday night, and in the extreme eastern countries even on
Tuesday night Kiddush Levonoh should not be made. In
other eastern countries one should make Kiddush
Levonoh only according to the difference in time zones in
comparison to Eretz Yisroel.
