A 21-year old who was seriously burned six months ago and had
been granted a special medical pass on humanitarian grounds
to receive treatment in an Israeli hospital was arrested on
Monday with 10 kilograms of explosives hidden in her clothes
as she was trying to travel through the Erez crossing between
Gaza and Israel. When discovered she tried to detonate her
bomb on the spot, but with Heaven's help it did not go
off.
Significant progress was made this week in talks to prevent
the desecration of burial caves along the route of the Trans-
Israel Highway during a meeting of the Religious Lobby at

prohibited by halochoh, has been installed.
The Degel HaTorah Executive Board met at the Beit Degel
HaTorah in Bnei Brak to discuss a series of issues on the

Gravestones were shattered and overturned and swastikas spray-
painted along with the words, "A Jewish child dead, ha, ha .
. . " at the old Westham Jewish cemetery in East London's

the Independent, printing photos of the desecrated
grave on the front page.
Degel HaTorah representatives in Netanya are notching up

Deputy Defense Minister Warns Contractors at Nitzan
Construction Site Not to Work on Shabbos "All of the companies involved in construction have been
notified of the absolute prohibition against working at the
site on Shabbatot and chagim, and they have also been
warned that any divergence from this directive in the future
will bring with it severe steps including suspension from the
list of Defense Ministry contractors," said Deputy Defense
Minister MK Zeev Baum...
MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni tabled a law that would allow a resident
of a building to install a Shabbos clock or other device to
light common areas or stairwells with or without the
neighbors' consent as long as they are not required to

installing a Shabbos generator to light the common areas, as
well.

reserve law, the Knesset has approved its first reading, and
it is expected to be fully approved by the end of the
calendar year, it is clear what was behind the way things
were done for so many years. For How Long the Doubt?
Years ago, [a period of] great tension existed between
Germany and the other super powers. Its source lay in German
demands to reconsider the Treaty of Versailles. After the end
of the First World War, the two sides had met in Versailles
to sign a peace treaty which took its name from the location
of its signing.
"How can it be that a mother needs a vacation from her
family? Aren't they the essence of her purpose in this world -

imahot — a recreational two-night-three day break
for mothers.
