The National Center for the Development of Holy Sites made preparations to accommodate the tens of thousands of visitors arriving at the Kosel Maarovi for tefillas Vosikin and throughout Shavuos while Israel Police positioned large forces to secure all of the routes leading to the Kosel.
Bank of Israel Spokesman Gabi Fishman issued a press release on the afternoon of Shavuos about an impending strike, raising the wrath of ranking BOI employees who keep Torah and mitzvos as well as several financial newspapers that were forced to deal with the issue on a holiday.
An emergency meeting of Chinuch Atzmai in Jerusalem was attended by HaRav Yosef Efrati, United Torah Jewry MKs Rabbi Avrohom Ravitz, Rabbi Moshe Gafni and Rabbi Meir Porush, Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Secretary HaRav Avrohom Rubinstein and Chinuch Atzmai Director Rabbi Meir Luria and one of the heads of Chinuch Atzmai, Rabbi Tzvi Boimel. Against an Upcoming "Chassidic Pop" Concert in London Translation of the letter from the Rabbis of London:
Since a Concert is being planned to take place soon in our city, that is a means to break down the tznius and purity of our community, and the Gedolei Hador have seen that this brings a foreign culture into the tents of Yaakov, and have expressed strong opposition to this, and have forbidden to participate in these concerts. Therefore we join in their proclamation, and all those who care for their souls must stay far away from this and ensure that the members of their families do not go to these places. And all those who listen to us will be guarded from all danger. BUG UPDATE, SIVAN 5764 1. Onions
The Israeli-grown onions continue to be problematic, even though the peel is starting to grow up over the top of the layers. In an experiment conducted by the Badatz a couple of weeks ago, the majority of these onions were found to harbor thrips. For now, your best bet is the Gush Katif onions, which do not have to be checked at all, or the imported onions, whose first and outside-of-the-second layers should be washed or checked. Regular Israeli-grown onions must still be cleaned or checked layer by layer.
Kindness and mercy are always in favor. To help those in need, to champion the cause of those who cannot speak for themselves -- these are always actions that evoke an approving reaction from those who hear about them.
On Duty
The recent finds should hardly surprise us as we ourselves
have made an avoda zora out of our sheitlach.
We worship the absolute, flawless, ultimate look, and we
sacrifice to that end nearly all that we have. Put Up the Phoneblocks! New US Report Links More Diseases to Smoking
