Lulav Dealers Ask High Court to Allow Imports from All of
Egypt
The High Court held a hearing this week after a group of
lulav importers filed a petition demanding the Israeli
Agricultural Ministry allow them to import lulavim
from all parts of Egypt rather than el-Arish alone.
Sela administration head Zvia Shimon told Ha'aretz
this week that construction has yet to begin on a single
permanent house for any of those evacuated from Gush Katif 13
months ago. However, she claimed that "much progress had been
made in recent months."
Some 150 Ayelet Hashachar volunteer families are spent the
Yomim Noraim at kibbutzim and small communities where shofar
blasts have never been heard and minyanim never
held.
Every year before Rosh Hashonoh the editorial board of the
Hebrew Yated Ne'eman pays a visit to Maran HaRav Yosef
Sholom Eliashiv shlita, who closely oversees and
guides the newspaper throughout the year, setting aside
valuable time to issue instructions, answer questions posed
by the rabbonim of the Vaada Ruchanit.
Following the widely publicized notice by gedolei Yisroel
shlita calling for mehadrin bus lines for all of
the routes between chareidi cities and neighborhoods there
has been a marked public awakening accompanied by
negotiations with Egged and other bus companies to
accommodate their passengers' wishes by allowing women to
enter through the back door.

and harvested after Pesach, enters the food market.
An estimated 40,000 people gathered last week at the UN
Building in Manhattan for a pro-Israel rally, one of the

Flimsy Shelter as a Prerequisite for Simchah
We live in an age that really believes that it lives in a
diras keva. It is confident of its wealth and its
might, and it believes that its knowledge and understanding
give it mastery over the physical world. The Supreme Joy of Restoration: Divrei Torah Delivered on
Succos
Introduction: Solemn Prayer and Excessive Rejoicing
See Pachad Yitzchok Rosh Hashonoh, maamar 10:1 and
Pachad Yitzchok Succos, Introduction to Kuntras
Bircas Ovos where the dual character of the Succos
festival is noted.
How to Avoid Meat Scandals: The Horrible Illness of
Complacency
The shmuess was given before Rosh Hashonoh this year, but
its lessons are worth applying at any time.
Every year we read parshas Nitzovim on the Shabbos
before Rosh Hashonoh. Those that derive hints from the Torah
say that this is a hint to a person's situation before Rosh
Hashonoh. He must be standing (natziv): he needs to
stop and contemplate, and make a spiritual accounting, each
one according to his level.
