Do Not Ignore Reality
Last weekend, a prominent member of Fatah's military wing in
Shechem was killed by the IDF. His surviving friends went
around demanding that the stores in the area close down
during the funeral. One owner of a butcher store refused to
close, and he was shot dead on the spot.
"And He Armed His Disciples"
by HaRav Meir Shapira zt'l of Lublin
Rashi explains that the term "chinuch" came to mean
"education" because it denotes the entrance of a person or a
vessel into their future occupation or use, and in the
pesukim which speak of "chanoch lana'ar," "chanukas
hamizbe'ach" and "chanukas habayis," the word
chinuch is always used in this sense.

Putting The Imprint Of Hashem In The World
by Rabbi D. Makover
Mamre's part in the Milah
The beginning of the parsha tells us that Avrohom
Ovinu circumcised himself at the grand age of 99 in the
plains of a gentleman called Mamre. Avrohom had been residing
in Mamre's land during the rebellion of the four kings
(Bereishis 14), and Mamre and his brothers, Eshkol and
Oneir, joined him in the counterattack on the kings, fearing
the kings would take their property as they had taken that of
their former overlords (Sforno 14:13).
Was the Criticism of Rock and Roll Racist?
To the Editor:
I was rather put-off by certain features of the article about
music which appeared in last week's issue (parshas
Noach).
Politica
Legalizing Dictatorship
by E. Rauchberger
Last week the Economic Arrangements Bill for the Fiscal Year
5764/2003-2004 passed a first reading in a Knesset plenum.
Essentially a compilation of various policy changes, a close
examination of the bill reveals that it would serve as an
effective means of instituting a dictatorship in the State of
Israel.
