El Al Apologizes for Flight That Landed on Shabbos
El Al issued a public apology for an incident in which a
flight landed in Tel Aviv well after Shabbos began following
a technical difficulty that grounded the plane for several
hours at Heathrow Airport in London on Friday.
Wide-scale chilul Shabbos was caused when Education
Minister Yuli Tamir met with representatives of student
unions, which signed an agreement on Motzei Shabbos not to
hold a strike that was originally scheduled to start on
Sunday.
A Shabbos siren system was installed in the Southern Samaria
community of Neveh Yerek to remind residents when Shabbos is
approaching.
The three partners who own the Rothbang supermarket in Kfar
Sava sanctified Sheim Shomayim by observing the
sanctity of Shabbos before the eyes of dozens of local
residents and hundreds of customers.
David Terlove and his family appear in a photo in The
Times (of London) packing their suitcases at their
apartment in Golders Green, the Jewish neighborhood in North
London. "We are not as excited over the prospects of joining
our children as we are over returning to Israel, our
spiritual homeland," said Terlove, shortly before making
aliyah.
The Degel HaTorah Board met at party headquarters in Bnei
Brak to discuss issues currently on the agenda.
Reformation Plan for Religious Services Within 6 Months Within 4-6 months the government will submit a reformation
plan for religious services Atty. Shimon Ulman, legal advisor
to the Chief Rabbinate, told the Knesset State Comptroller's
Committee during a meeting on the state of religious services
in Israel.
Over 200 graves at the Jewish Cemetery and the memorial
monument for Holocaust victims were vandalized last week in
Odessa, a port city on the Black Sea in Southern Ukraine.
Valeslav Kapulkin, spokesman for the local Jewish community,
said unidentified vandals spray-painted swastikas and the
words, "Congratulations on the Holocaust," and even struck
gravestones with a blunt object. HaRav Simchah Kook Named Rov of Beis Knesses Churvah in
Old City HaRav Simchah Kook, rov of Rechovot, was named rov of Beis
Knesses Churvas Rebbe Yehuda Hachassid in Jerusalem's Old
City. The writ of nomination (ksav hachtoroh) was
signed by gedolei Yisroel shlita, including Maran
HaRav Eliashiv shlita. Noise Meters to be Installed at Bnei Brak Wedding Halls The City of Bnei Brak is launching an enforcement campaign to
install noise meters at event halls throughout the city in
accordance with a directive by Mayor Rabbi Yissochor
Frankenthal to put a stop to high noise levels, which have
caused a nuisance and suffering for neighbors and people
attending the events themselves. The noise level will now be
limited to 85 decibels. Dozens of Local Rabbonim Named Representatives of Vaad
HaRabbonim LeInyonei Tzedokoh
A gala event headed by Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv
shlita, roshei yeshivos, dayonim and rabbonim from all
parts of Eretz Yisroel was held in Jerusalem on 30 Shevat to
appoint dozens of rabbonim from across the country new
members of Vaad HaRabbonim LeInyonei Tzedokoh Be'eretz
Hakodesh. Purim With HaRav Naftoli Amsterdam zt'l by HaRav Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg zt'l While I was learning in Yeshivas Knesses Yisroel in Kovno, I
had the enormous merit of spending a winter with Rav Naftoli
Amsterdam. To be in his company was a rare and precious
experience. Because he was so immersed [in Torah study] he
refrained from all mundane conversation and the only
opportunity to benefit from his advice and counsel in
religious matters was while he went from his house to the
Beis Hamussar.
