Shock waves are running through all parts of Torah-true Jewry
after the Jerusalem District Court ruled that Jerusalem Mayor
Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky is not authorized to stop an abominable
event. Through its decision the court gave validity to a
disgraceful event of unprecedented severity that strikes a
harsh blow to the holiness of the City of Jerusalem.
An order issued by Transportation Minister Meir Shetreet to
open Sderot (Boulevard) Warburg, which has been closed on
Shabbos for the past 35 years, led to large-scale Shabbos
desecration in Kiryat Shmuel, a mostly chareidi neighborhood
on the outskirts of Haifa. The first Jews to encounter the kingklip were probably
Russian and Lithuanian emigrants who began settling in South
Africa just over a century ago. Living on the floor of the
oceans of the southern hemisphere at depths ranging from
fifty to five hundred meters, it is considered a very good
eating fish. The expensive red and golden varieties are much
in demand. It is a sea fish that is now caught near South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina.
Bnei Brak's population passed the 150,000 mark for the first
time. According to figures collected by the Interior

The Organization for Fairness in Government contacted the
Prime Minister and the Attorney General to demand new
appointments to the Jerusalem Religious Council Executive
Board, and the annulment of dozens of political appointments
of Likud Center members along with their friends and

In maseches Sota (14) it states: "Why did Moshe
Rabbenu desire so strongly to enter Eretz Yisroel? Was it in
order to eat of its fruits and be sated from its bounty?"
Surely this was not the reason he wished to enter the Holy
Land!
In an unprecedented move for modern times, the Russian
General Prosecutor ordered an investigation of whether the
Shulchan Oruch incites against non-Jews in Russia,
according to a report in Izvestia, the unofficial
organ of the Russian government, as quoted in
Ha'aretz.

With the opening of the wedding season after Shavuos in
Israel, demand for bus lines between Jerusalem and Bnei Brak

Those who are scheduled to move out of their longstanding
homes, where they were sent by legitimate and legal
government actions, are deserving of the utmost sympathy and
understanding. It is hard and it is tragic, and it is worse
than it need be because there are so many difficult strategic
and political questions about the policy that was adopted by
the government. Shabbos: The Source of Blessing — and Self-
Control
We have finally come to the realization and admission that
something is rotten in the general educational system. The
decadence, corruption and demoralization is couched in
prettier terms, like culture, openness, freedom of
expression, art, the right of the public to know, the right
of a person to his own privacy, life and body, and other
euphemisms.
Silent Choices
Two friends meet after a decade apart. One of them has
married and moved to Israel. The other one has stayed in New
York and focused on her career. They are worlds apart.
