COMMENT
What is Victory?
This is already the longest war the State of Israel ever
fought. Although it is far from the worst in terms of
casualties, it is also unprecedented in the fact that so much
of the Home Front has been under fire.
Otzros Yemei Elul
Selections from the Sefer Otzros Yemei Elul
by S. Yisroel
Who is Afraid of Elul?
In opposition to the call of the shofar that echoes
these days in our botei medroshos, the Soton raises
his voice and seeks to decrease and weaken the influence of
the shofar's call. As the shofar's call arouses
our hearts to strengthen ourselves in avodas Hashem,
the Soton claims there is no reason for this strengthening.

Secrets
by Rebbetzin Naomi Travis
(Based on a true story)
Libby was one of those girls who had everything going for
her. Her family was respected and well established. Her
siblings had made excellent shidduchim. She was known
to be a fine teacher. She had presence, attractive features,
and a charming personality. Her character traits were
refined and she had, above all, a good reputation. [And even
some respectable savings in the bank.] No one was more
surprised then she was when time passed by and she was still
single.
