Representatives of the United States and Great Britain met
Palestinian officials in Ramallah to finalize details over
the incarceration of six wanted Palestinian militants holed
up in Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's Mukata
compound in the city. In perhaps the biggest-ever public gathering organized by
British Jewry, tens of thousands gathered in London's
Trafalgar Square last Monday afternoon for a pro-Israel
rally. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon arrived in Washington on Monday
to meet with US leaders and present his vision of a plan to
reach stability in Israel's conflict with the Palestinians.
U.S. Foundation Set Up to Promote Beitar Illit Beitar Illit Mayor Rabbi Yitzchok Pindrus (Degel
Hatorah) completed a one-week visit to New York to set

United Nations "fact-finding committee" on the Jenin
refugee camp into a furious rejection? Students of the Beis Achiezer Yeshiva are Tested by Maran
HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv
The visit of the students of the Beis Achiezer yeshiva of
Ashkelon to the home of Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv was
a stirring event which strengthened and uplifted them in
ruchniyus. Maran HaRav Eliashiv examined the students
and discussed the sugyos studied in the yeshiva with
them for quite a while, marveling at the extent of their
knowledge.
It is one of the cardinal principles of Torah and a crucial
component of the Torah hashkofoh that neither a person
nor life is compartmentalized. Everything, great and small,
must be done properly, according to the moral and legal
prescriptions of Torah. "The law of a penny is the same as
the law of a hundred." Even the things that we crush
underfoot, we are taught, may truly stand at the heights of
the world. Meriting A Miracle In 1943, after more than three years of German control over
France, the Great Synagogue of Lyon continued to function.
That December 10, the Lyon Milice, the shock troops of the
Vichy government, decided to put an end to the Jewish
worship.

According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say
tachanun from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after
Isru Chag. (There are other minhogim that
do not say tachanun until after the seven days of
hashlomoh that follow Shavuos.) On Rosh Chodesh
Sivan we do not say tachanun as with every Rosh
Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom
HaMeyuchas, since after yetzias Mitzrayim
Hashem commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel:
"Now therefore if you will obey My voice indeed, and
keep My covenant, then you shall be My own treasure
from among all peoples" (Shemos 19:5) to prepare
them for Torah. Afterwards the third, fourth, and fifth
of Sivan are the Sheloshes Yemei Hagboloh when
bnei Yisroel waited for kabolas HaTorah
(Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see Shabbos 86-
88).
