Attempt to Amend Chometz Law Before Pesach
MK Rabbi Avrohom Ravitz is trying to amend the Chometz Law
before Pesach in order to bypass an outrageous ruling by
Judge Tamar Bar Asher Tzaban of the Jerusalem Municipal
Court, who held that selling chometz inside stores and
restaurants is permitted as long as it's not sold in public
view.
Gedolei Yisroel are currently in the process of
signing a position statement regarding the crisis with AM/PM
convenience stores and Shefa Shuk supermarkets as well as the
other stores associated with the Alon Group, but when to
release it to the general public has yet to be decided.
Next week the Knesset Education Committee will meet to
discuss a law currently being prepared for a first reading
that addresses the budget for yeshivos ketanos.
Roshei yeshivos, admorim, rabbonim and over ten
thousand avreichim and bochurim who take the
Dirshu exams were on hand Tuesday 3 Nisan for Kinus Olom
HaTorah, an event at Yad Eliyahu in Tel Aviv to mark a decade
of Dirshu operations.
Gedolei Yisroel are voicing strong objections to
Sephardic site overseers at Meron who have turned to the
secular court system in an effort to block expansion of the
area set aside for prayer at the gravesite for R' Shimon Bar
Yochai in Meron — for unclear reasons.
Due to the large number of Cellcom subscribers using kosher
phones, phone numbers with a prefix reserved for kosher
phones have run out and the company had to make a new
exchange prefix available. After receiving the approval of
Vaadas HaRabbonim LeInyonei Tikshoret a new kosher prefix is
set to open with the numbers beginning 052-71.
With the help of UTJ representative Aryeh Blitenthal and
Rabbi Yisrael Shlomai, a member of the Chareidi Matnas Board,
this year for the first time the Haifa Municipality will
include Pesach activities aimed at the chareidi sector.

Part II
The first part explained how clear it is and how much
testimony there was to the truth of the events around
yetzias Mitzrayim. The entire generation that went out
was, in effect, a witness to what is written in the Torah.
This shmuess strongly reflects the elemental emunah that
Maran HaRav Shach stressed continually stressed in so many of
his talks.
