"The IDF helps non-Jewish soldiers to convert at their
request through its conversion course, which is faster than
other courses. The army provides non-Jewish soldiers with
Judaic studies teachers and works along with the existing
civilian conversion institutes." Piecing the Picture of Lebanon After Israeli
Withdrawal Now that talks with Syria on a permanent settlement have
broken down -- and even prime minister Barak has admitted
that he sees no chance of renewed talks anytime soon -- the
parties in the region are moving ahead on implementing the
Israeli withdrawal within the next three months. In a letter from the CEO of Neka Chemicals Company to Chief
Rabbi of Petach Tikvah HaRav Boruch Shimon Solomon, the
company announced that it has decided to stop advertising in
the electronic media on Shabbos.
Religious Lobby in Knesset Opposes Proposal to Change the
Status Quo A stormy meeting last week of the Knesset Religious Lobby saw
emphatic opposition to the enactment of laws permitting
Shabbos desecration and civil marriages. These proposals to
change the status quo were in a bill presented by Nochum
Langenthal (Mafdal).
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. PROJECT: Winter Clothing,
1948 Here is another excerpted translated chapter from the
historical diary-chronicle of a young girl-turning woman,
living in pre-State Tel Aviv, from the Hebrew book "Dapim
Shel Etmol" by Ayala Rottenberg. Only the Young and Healthy Were
Invited |
