lay leaders from America and Europe plans to visit Israel in
the near future and have in-depth discussions with Prime
Minister Barak about the current political and religious
situation in the Holy Land. In the wake of the call of the gedolei Yisroel to
strengthen ourselves in devorim bikedusho in light of
the current situation, the Mifal Hahalocho Ha'artzi has
launched a new course of study of the laws of Shabbos.

Rabbi Halpert's Large Family Law Approved The battle against chareidim, which seemed to have calmed
down a bit between shooting in Gilo and lynches in Ramallah,
is raging once again. Who is on the warpath? None other that
Finance Minister Beige Shochat. The background? The Large
Family Law, proposed by MK Rabbi Shmuel Halpert of United
Torah Judaism and finally approved on 3 Cheshvan. Bank Leumi Desecrates Shabbos Bank Leumi has begun to operate a credit center for

Farmers At the end of his current visit to Eretz Yisroel, HaRav
Kreiswirth, the gaavad of Antwerp, has come out with
a fervent call to the Jews of the Diaspora to rally to the
aid of the thousands of shmitta observing farmers in
Eretz Hakodesh who let their fields lie fallow during the
seventh year with great mesiras nefesh. The Jews of
the Diaspora have a special obligation during this critical
time when the enemies and haters of Israel have raised their
heads, he noted.
HaRav Mordechai Miller zt"l The bitter news of the petirah of the well known
educator, HaRav Mordechai Miller, who taught and in many
senses raised thousands of Jewish young women in the famed
Gateshead Girls seminary, cast chareidi Jewry into a deep
pall of mourning. Women the World Over Recite Tehillim Due to the recent calamities and the critical situation in
Eretz Yisroel, a number of women have taken upon themselves
to organize a worldwide program for the reciting of
Tehillim in groups. In the past, Tehillim
groups for women have been organized and a his'orerus
rally was held, at whose end, hundreds of sifrei
Tehillim were recited.
The Arab riots of the past five weeks, on the part of
Israeli Arabs as well as the Palestinians, and including
consistent attacks on Israelis and their positions with
guns, Molotov cocktails and boulders, has been a shock and
created new facts on the ground, no less than settlements. Children of all ages live and thrive on parental love and
attention. When children feel they are not getting the
attention they crave, they will often go to any extent to
get it. Children craving attention will seek negative
attention if they find it easier to get than positive
attention. Negative attention can be even more intense and
exciting for a child in need than positive attention. Borne Aloft On The Wings Of A Dove -- The Twentieth
Yahrtzeit Of HaRav Yonah Mertzbach Zt'l And Sixty Two Years
