Living in Eretz Yisroel: Cause or Effect?

When you think about the pure concepts, it would seem that it is quite easy to distinguish a cause from its effect. The effect is dependent on the cause, but the cause is not dependent on the effect.

Sharon's current campaign is just to reach the summer recess in decent shape.

Comments about Lechovitz, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, Manchester

To the Editor:

The 22 Sivan (June 11) English edition of the Yated included an article "Oleinu Leshabeiach . . ." At its start there is a story about Volozhin bochurim going to the Admor of Lechovitz, which interests me greatly.
