South African Jews Battered By Anti-Israel Frenzy, Bracing for
Conference
by D. Saks, South African correspondent and Yated Ne'eman
Staff
The world press is covering Israel's problems over the
upcoming World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South
Africa, at the end of this week, but South Africa's own Jews
are having related troubles of their own that have so far been
ignored in the general press.
Head of PFLP Attacked and Killed
by M Plaut and Yated Ne'eman Staff
Israeli security forces carried out an initiated attack
against the headquarters of Marxist-oriented Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in Ramallah on Monday,
killing its commander in the territories, Haj Ali Zabri, 63,
better known as Abu Ali Mustafa. According to reports, Mustafa
had considered himself immune to attack since he is a
political leader.
Chareidi Education Grows in Jerusalem
by Betzalel Kahn
Chareidi chinuch in Jerusalem is continuing in its status as
the clear majority of Jewish education in the city for the
coming school year, kein yirbu. All in all, this
forthcoming school year (5762), 77,814 students will study in
the chareidi school system compared to 65,265 students in the
Jewish part of the general school system. There are 32,736 in
East Jerusalem's system. The total number of students in the
entire city is 175,000.
Significant Drop in Smoking Among Chareidim
by Betzalel Kahn
A recent survey reveals that 17 percent of Israel's chareidi
population smoke, as opposed to 28 percent of the general
sector. The survey was conducted at the request of Rabbi
Yechezkel Eschayek, who is involved in efforts to explain the
hazards of smoking to the chareidi public.
Observations: Secular Researchers Conclude That Students
Achieve Better Results in Separate Classrooms
by S. Yisraeli
While the IDF debates Hesder soldiers' protests against
assigning female soldiers to their units, in another arena,
extreme liberalism, with its concern for "equal rights for
women" -- and arbitrary disregard for common sense and Jewish
values -- has been shown to hinder elementary and high school
students through one of the symbols of secular education:
forcing boys and girls to study together.
Observations: Hate Songs in America
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
As Jews we must have an interest in worldwide hatred, because
we are so often its recipients. Whatever its address, we can
never be sure that it will not be sent to us next. The
following words, edited somewhat for our readers, are taken
from one of the regular columnists of the New York
Times, Bob Herbert, and highlight a phenomenon of growing
concern.
Bank of Israel keeps Interest Rate Unchanged
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
The Bank of Israel said on Monday it would leave its key
lending rate unchanged at 6.3 percent for September, due to
rising inflationary expectations. The central bank's decision
was widely expected. The rate has been lowered in small
increments for 14 months steadily.
IDF enters Beit Jalla
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
The IDF was holding positions at press time that it seized
Monday night in the West Bank village of Beit Jalla in
retaliation for renewed shooting at the Jerusalem neighborhood
of Gilo. Despite the incursion into Beit Jalla, Palestinian
gunmen were still firing sporadically at Gilo on Tuesday
morning.
Egged Improves Service to Jerusalem Chareidi Neighborhoods -
- Ramot
by Betzalel Kahn
Several steps to improve Egged public bus service to the
Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot were implemented on Rosh
Chodesh Elul. The steps were determined by the Advisory
Council for Transportation and presented to the Jerusalem
deputy mayors and representatives of the chareidi parties, who
expressed their satisfaction at the plans.
Promises, Promises, Promises: Yeshiva Funding Finally
Approved
by Betzalel Kahn
Yeshiva subsidies that had been withheld last month were
transferred almost in their entirety last week. This brings to
an end the latest Finance Ministry incitement campaign against
the yeshiva world.
Efforts to Preserve Purity of Beis Yaakov Schools
by Betzalel Kahn
Renewed efforts are being made to fortify and preserve the
purity of the chinuch in the country's Beis Yaakov
schools, schools that have produced generations of outstanding
Jewish mothers who built their homes with Torah and pure
yiras Shomayim.
OPINION &
COMMENT
The Limits of Evenhandedness
Everyone tries to be evenhanded. The press always reports the
Palestinian attack and the Israeli response together.
Diplomats and politicians condemn all violence in the Middle
East on the occasion of a particularly horrible bomb against
Israeli civilians. The U.S. State Department issues repeated,
monotonous calls for "both sides" to end the violence. And the
most common figure cited to sum up the entire cycle of
violence is that over 600 Palestinians have been killed and
about 170 Israelis (this figure changes often, sometimes
daily).

by R' Zvi Zobin

the steps of his apartment building after visiting his friend.
Suddenly, the door of an apartment was flung open and two
little children stood by the open door, crying
hysterically.
