OPINION & COMMENT

A Political Scenario that May Not be a Purim Joke

So far the Israeli election campaign has been quiet and boring in the sense that there have been no significant campaign developments. Nonetheless, perhaps in the Adar spirit, the pundits have managed to suggest some quite lively scenarios for the morning after the elections.

At the King's Feast — Purim Insights Heard at HaRav Yitzchok Hutner's Table

HaRav Hutner zt'l, shared the profound thoughts that follow at the Purim seudos that he held each year with his talmidim. They are taken from notes made by one of the talmidim who shared them with us. They contain deep ideas that require reflection to fully appreciate and absorb, and whose impact will ultimately depend on the reader's own level.

"I Was Together With Gedolei Yisroel on Purim, and Not One of Them Became Drunk"

The sixth volume in the series of the book known as Meir Einei Yisroel was released some time ago. Its 800 pages spread before us a vast and amazing tapestry of information, both in quantity and quality, which incorporates facts and practices from the lives of our Saba Kadisha, Maran the Chofetz Chaim zy'a, culled from those who were in his proximity during festivals and seasonal occasions.

Halochoh and Yir'oh
Compiled from the sichos of Morenu HaRav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, Shlita

Part II

The main theme of HaRav Scheinberg is that yiras Shomayim is essential to success in learning Torah generally and to success in determining halochoh particularly. He explained the gemora that says that a talmid chochom must be like the Aron Hakodesh — golden on the outside and on the inside — because such a result is an indication of the amount of yiras Shomayim the person has.
