religious coercion in this government."

the Occasion of His Sheloshim
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Although more than thirty days have already elapsed since the
sudden petiroh of Rabbi Meyer Rosenbaum zt"l,

accomplish, Reb Meyer zt"l excelled in the three
pillars that uphold the world: Torah, Avodoh and
Gemilus Chassadim.

a story by Sara Gutfreund
Shira is cleaning for Pesach. She is in the boys' room now,

their own room? They're teenagers now, Shira reminds herself
with a sigh. Maybe she is isn't raising them right. She can
never seem to convince them to help around the house.
