The leadership of the generation is deposited in the lands of Maran Gaon Yisroel HaRav Arye Leib Shteinman shlita, whose actions are totally lesheim Shomayim. We have merited that Maran shlita, at the direction of Mori Vechomi shlita, took upon himself the entire administration of Yated Ne'eman which was founded by my father zt"l, together with Mori Verabbi Maran HaRav Shach zt"l.
"We will check thoroughly the charges raised by the Minister of Religious Services, Yaakov Margi," said Rabbi Moshe Gafni, chairmen of the Knesset Finance Committee, at a meeting to discuss the recent decision of the Attorney General, Yehuda Weinstein, to budget Reform and Conservative rabbis.
A feeling of joy and satisfaction was felt amongst thousands of families of the baalei teshuva community in Rechovot and the residents of the city in general with the news that the construction of the Lev L'Achim center was being resumed after 13 years of procrastination.
A wave of sharp protest and disgust swept the community as a result of an article in one of the weekly publications that were criticized by gedolei Yisroel. The article was an attempt to create a shallow and casual atmosphere about issues that touch the heart of faithful Jewry. It is well known that the menahalim of the girls' seminars have stood against difficult attempts by many who are not loyal to gedolei Yisroel to confuse the issues by raising questions about the admission procedures of the girls' schools. The admission procedures are designed to preserve kedushas Yisroel.
Everyone is asked to pray for the speedy and complete recovery of Rabban shel Yisroel, Maran R' Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha Eliashiv, whose condition is described as very serious.
Many thousands gathered at the yahrtzeit chizuk rallies held throughout the country this past week in memory of R' Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz attempting to fill the tremendous spiritual gap left by the passing of one of the major Torah disseminators of this past generation who established cadres of talmidei chachomim and bnei Torah during seventy years of his life through extraordinary exertion.
Great sorrow was felt with the bitter news of the passing of the worthy Rebbetzin Sarah Kreiswirth, widow of the noted HaRav Chaim Kreiswirth, late Av Beis Din of Antwerp, following an extended illness with which she coped with loving resignation and pure emunah.

The great battle for Yiddish has been abandoned. Yiddish is an untranslatable language: you cannot translate the language of the heart. It is a very important asset, but not an end in itself.
Derek slid open the door of the Cessna 206. It was a tiny airplane and you couldn't even stand fully upright in it. He looked just as nervous as I did, even though he had parachuted more than four thousand times before and this was my first jump. I had already done teshuva on the short flight upwards till our jumping height of three-and-a-half thousand feet. Now my thoughts were on the dayan who had permitted me to parachute jump during bein hazmanim (it should be noted that he has since retracted his heter on this matter). I wished then that he had forbade this insanity, for there was no turning back now as the pilot gave his thumbs up sign -- time for me to jump to oblivion.
Chosen as a group because of their dedication to Hashem, the Leviim were purified through special procedures detailed in parshas Beha'alosecho. The result of this was a special status whose essence is summarized in the succinct statement by Hashem: Vehoyu li haLeviim -- The Leviim are Mine (Bamidbar 8,14).
