The Hypocrisy of the Secular Media
On Wednesday a few minutes before 1 in the afternoon, there was an urgent call to the offices of Yated Ne'eman.

A Letter from Maran HaRav Shteinman Shlita
BS"D
The Jewish people who left Egypt and received the Torah have, since then, become joined to it and dedicated to those who study it. Klal Yisroel shows its loyalty to Hashem by studying it. To be sure, it is not easy to begin learning at an advanced age, while one who starts young will succeed, since it is easier for him to grasp mishna, gemara and poskim. In order to achieve greatness, one must apply oneself and work hard for many years. For a young man, these years establish a foundation for the rest of his life. This is why, throughout the generations, everything was made possible to remove any impediments from advancement in Torah study so that youths could achieve a high level in bekiyus and understanding. Torah is what maintained our people throughout all the generations.

The gates of Yerushalayim, where [Jews] devote themselves to Torah study."

Sometime, in the lull between one turbulent era and the next, in the small town of Gombin, Avrohom was born to Rabbi Chaim, zt"l of Gombin and his wife.

Nobody in Eretz Yisroel must decide which is the worst crisis facing Israel, whether the economy or the Palestinian terror. Both are so pressing that they cannot be ignored, even while the looming threats associated with the American war against Iraq are drawing all the attention.
