OPINION & COMMENT

Be Not Proud of Death

The European Union has long urged the Palestinians to halt terrorist suicide attacks within the Green Line and they are deeply involved in recent meetings between the Fatah and the Hamas in Cairo to arrive at some agreement to this effect.

Attention Deficiency and Hyperactivity Disorder

A Middos Workshop:
Cooling Down the Angry Fires

Based on Shiurim of Rav Dovid Siegel

Imagine you are a school principal, presiding over thirty teachers. Despite repeated reprimands, a certain teacher continues to arrive late every day. Or you are a loyal patron of the local greengrocer, where you have ordered for years. For the last two weeks, he has been sending you bruised apples and rotting lettuce. Or you are a conscientious parent, and little Shmuely keeps escaping your hand and running into the street.

And what can he do with another garment if he does not need to wear it?
