Mishmar HaTorah Beis Din Set Up to Safeguard Kedushas
Yisroel and Tsnius
Under the guidance and encouragement of maranan verabonon
gedolei Yisroel including Maran HaRav Eliashiv
shlita, the Mishmar HaTorah Beis Din was set up to
deliberate and to issue clear instructions regarding modest
appearance for women.
The government is making every possible blunder in evacuating
Sderot residents. Only in response to businessman Arcadi
Gaydamak's program to pay for hotel stays did the government
make a move, evacuating hundreds of residents to army-run
facilities in the Central Region. Meanwhile the city's
chareidi population is being neglected and severely harmed by
the evacuations.
Making matches is "as hard as the Splitting of the Red Sea,"
says the gemora. If that's the case with a regular
shidduch all the more so in the case of physical
limitations. The painful cries of both the parents and their
children, even in the case of very slight problems, led to
the setup of Sos Tossis.
Over 1,300 people took part in the annual Agudas Yisroel of
America Dinner at the Hilton Hotel in New York.
The participants were welcomed by R' Shlomo Werdiger, who
asked them to become ambassadors for Agudas Yisroel and
"spread the word," saying, "Not a day passes without Agudas
Yisroel of America being called upon to provide advice,
assistance and advocacy for individuals, groups and
institutions," he said.
Former Jewish Agency Chairman Avram Burg was denied a request
to require the Jewish Agency to continue paying NIS 22,000
($5,500) a month to cover the costs of a private driver.
Following a call by gedolei Yisroel to strengthen
Torah study on Fridays and Shabbos and the announcement of a
new program for bnei yeshivos, dozens of yeshivas
expressed an interest in having their students participate in
the unique program.
Christian Vandals Break into Haifa School Haifa residents were shocked by a disturbing break-in by
unidentified vandals at a school in the city.
The banks have discovered the chareidi sector, setting off a
chain reaction of competition typical of the industry. The
chareidi customer is no longer a sure thing for any of the
banks and the way to his heart involves numerous image,
marketing and advertising campaigns aimed at meeting the
chareidi bank customer's special needs. Mishmeres HaSholom Expands Study of Shmiras Haloshon The issue of shmiras haloshon has a warm spot in the
heart of every Jew. Awareness of the issue has been
heightened dramatically in the past generation. Mishmeres
HaSholom translates this knowledge into action: HaRav Pinchos Saposh zt"l Hundreds of students and acquaintances from Telzstone took
part in the levaya for HaRav Pinchos Saposh
zt"l, who passed away at the age of 51.

According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say tachanun
from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after Isru Chag (there
are other minhogim that do not say tachanun
until after the seven days of hashlomoh that follow
Shavuos).
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we do not say tachanun like on
every Rosh Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom
HaMeyuchas since after yetzias Mitzrayim Hashem
commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel: "Now therefore
if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then
you shall be My own treasure from among all peoples"
(Shemos 19:5) to prepare them for Torah. Afterwards,
the third, forth, and fifth of Sivan are the Sheloshes
Yemei Hagboloh when bnei Yisroel waited for
kabolas HaTorah (Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see
Shabbos 86-88).
We do not say vetzidkoscho tzedek on Shabbos since it
is the YOm MaMeyuchas
