chachomim--and whose only aim is to be like all of the
nations and to satisfy their urges and desires.

still has any long-range missiles or other means to threaten
Israel. Nonetheless all of Israel remained on high alert.

Dovid Rosenberg, an attorney based in Zurich who serves as
the Swiss representative to the Committee for the
Preservation of European Cemeteries.
