French Jewish Community Opposes Honoring Israeli Writers in Paris
By Arnon Yaffeh, Paris

Inviting Israeli writers as the guests of honor at book fairs in Paris and Turin, Italy, is causing a stir in left-wing circles and in the French Jewish community, but for different reasons. Religious and traditional Jews, who comprise the majority of the active Jewish community in France today, are concerned over the ignoble representation of Judaism in secular Israeli literature.


Chinuch Atzmai School in Or Yehuda Spared Third Electricity Cutoff
By A. Cohen

Following several days of concerted efforts, the threat of cutting off the electricity for the third time was removed at Michtav L'Eliyahu, a Chinuch Atzmai school in Or Yehuda, after the Dessler family, the descendants of HaRav Eliyohu Dessler zt"l, responded to a request by Rabbi Avrohom Yosef Lazerson, one of the heads of Chinuch Atzmai, to pay the school's electricity bill.

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

"The terrible breach effected by opening stores on Shabbos Kodesh, thereby desecrating and trampling over Shabbos, cannot and should not be overlooked. We have decided to wage a determined battle using all the means at our disposal," declared Vaadas HaRabbonim Lemaan Kedushas HaShabbos this week.

Negligence of Talmidim in Fulfilling Mitzvos

In Bircas Hamozone, Krias Shema, tefillah, bircas HaTorah, bircas HaShachar, krias HaMegillah, krias HaTorah, kiddush, and shnayim Mikra ve'echad Targum there is general neglect and disregard by a great percentage of talmidim, and surprisingly even by those after their bar mitzvah.
