OPINION
& COMMENT
Get the Cheats but Don't Tread on Us
By all legitimate means, the government -- any government --
should catch anyone who cheats it. We make no defense of
those who lie or misrepresent the truth in any way in order
to collect money to which they are not entitled. The
government should catch whoever breaks the law and take
appropriate punitive action. We say this clearly so that
there will be no mistake.
The Main Points of HaRav Shteinman's Address: "How Great are
Chiya's Deeds!"
Morai verabbosai, the rabbonim have all spoken at
length already, stressing the importance of Lev L'Achim,
which is doing great rescue work for Klal Yisroel. If
not for their activities, a sizable portion of Klal
Yisroel would be lost completely, chas vesholom.
We must make every effort to strengthen ourselves in this
area as the speakers have already noted and I don't have much
to add to that message.
Obscuring Torah with Torah Terminology
by Rabbi N. Grossman
At a recent conference of the Rabbinical Union for the People
of Israel and the Land of Israel and the Wholeness of the
Torah and the Land, over 200 national- religious rabbonim
protested Sharon's plan to evacuate the settlements from the
Gaza Strip.
Positive Labeling
by Chaim Walder
Some say that not only does a child with a stigma suffer, but
the child labeled positively also has a problem since he
feels he must constantly live up to his reputation and that
is what drives him, and thus he lacks internal motivation.
Still, I believe one should find the strong points in every
child and even turn them into positive labels to serve as
power stations from which the child can draw strength during
hard times.
So That Your Days Increase
by Yochonon Dovid
Paying condolence calls, nichum aveilim, to parents
sitting in mourning for a child, is a very emotionally
draining undertaking. Mourning of this sort is not the normal
kind of event in this world, and even outsiders find it most
difficult to digest suffering such as this. How much more
difficult it is to find the suitable words to attempt to
comfort, to bring solace to those mourners.
Politica: The Battle for the Likud
By E. Rauchberger
Ariel Sharon has launched the kind of assault on the 200,000
Likud members only he knows how to lead, just like in the old
days when he was a part of Unit 101 or when he charged over
the Suez Canal decades ago. Now he is summoning all of his
tactical ability, all of his knowledge and experience, to win
the great battle before him. The battle for peace, the battle
to implement the disengagement plan.
