After long weeks of uncertainty at the Jerusalem Rabbinate
regarding the authority to grant kashrus certification, the
Chief Rabbinate decided on Monday to appoint HaRav Binyomin
Adler in charge of kashrus and HaRav Yosef Efrati in charge
of mitzvos hateluyos ba'Aretz.
A number of serious incidents have sparked a stormy debate
among the halachic authorities of America and gedolei
haTorah have asked HaRav Eliashiv to express his opinion.
He responded, "They have permitted married women to remarry
contrary to Torah law Rachmono litzlan . . . I join
the aforementioned rabbonim and geonim in protesting
this breach in the ranks of Beis Yisroel. Binyan Sholeim, a company founded by Degel HaTorah of
Jerusalem, is beginning construction on an enormous building
project in the Negev town of Yeruchom as part of efforts to
solve the housing crisis in the chareidi sector. The large-
scale project, which will bear the name Ne'ot Ha'irissim
(Iris Oasis), was initiated and promoted by maranan
verabonon gedolei Yisroel shlita.
The Knesset Finance Committee held another fiery meeting over
the scandalous delays in transferring 2005 budget funds for
Torah culture organizations. During the meeting Attorney
Amnon De Hartoch, appointed by the Justice Ministry to
formulate the criteria for granting support funding to
organizations, unabashedly admitted that he is demanding the
results of the Education Ministry's field checks of Torah
organizations but not of other cultural organizations or of
science and art organizations.
The adoption was no secret! Nobody would have, anyway,

daughter of Family B, an Ashkenazi family.
Despite a High Court ruling not to gather at the Western Wall
Plaza a group of women stirring controversy every Rosh
Chodesh continues to sully the sanctity of the Kosel Maarovi

is planning to meet at the Kosel on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz as
well, with unseemly ceremonies scheduled for Thursday and
Friday.
Kiryat Shmuel's Warburg Boulevard was closed on Shabbos at

sent by Shearis Yisroel to South America came back to Eretz
Yisroel, one of their first moves was to visit the rabbonim

done up to then by a mehadrin hashgochoh: to go into a
non-Jewish meat factory overseas and shecht meat
according to the highest mehadrin standard. A Truly Schwer Rambam: Medieval Science and Modern Man
Ahavas Hashem is one of the six constant mitzvos. It is an
obligation upon every Jew, all the time. In addition we have
the additional mitzvah of Krias Shema which includes
as a prominent feature, in its third verse, the mention of

fathers, according to some leading brain scientists, like

with uniquely motivated learning. Having a baby is "a
revolution for the brain," Dr. Merzenich says. Out of the Blue At five thirty in the morning, the Warsaw Ghetto was
surrounded by S.S. troops. Sheindel looked apprehensively at
her two little boys sleeping restlessly on the floor of the
bunker. Where could she hide them from the Nazi beasts? If
only Hillel her husband were here, they could have made the

He had been carted off several weeks ago, and had not
returned. Sheindel knew that her time was running out.
