by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Inflation in 2003 is now expected to be no more than 0.1-0.5

Fifth Anniversary of the Mikveh of East Denver
by Rabbi Hillel Goldberg and Yated Ne'eman Staff
Most people do not think of a mikveh as a kiruv
tool, but the Mikveh of East Denver (MOED) has proven to be
just that in its five years of existence. It is to its credit
also that no michsholim have come out of its
operation.

OPINION &
COMMENT
The Many Sides of the Security Fence
Based on the controversy over Israel's security fence between
its Jewish population and the Palestinians, it is hard to
imagine that as recently as six months ago it was the Great
Idea of the Israeli Left. Originally proposed by the Barak
government, it was adopted by the first Sharon government
that included the Labor party.

Babysitter for Four and More
Mother of Quadruplets Tells What It's Like
by Esther Weil
Part I
I already had three small children at home -- two boys and a
girl -- when I learned that I was expecting an additional
child. I was just as happy as I had always been on hearing
such news. A routine checkup in Hadassah Hospital revealed
that I was expecting three children. But then a top ranking
doctor notified me that the first diagnosis was wrong; I was
expecting FOUR!
