Address of the Rosh Yeshiva Shlita Maran HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman
Morai Verabosai! I cannot go on at length but I will just say a few things. Some think that with students one can do as he pleases, and therefore he allows himself to scream at them, to get angry with them, and the like. Sometimes this causes great lifelong damage because of embarrassing [a young student]. Therefore one must know that he is dealing with people's souls, and each and every one of them may turn out to be a talmid chochom who will influence the whole world with his Torah, and his yiras Shomayim and his good middos - and chas vesholom it could be the opposite.

Part II
The first part discussed the basic nature of the prohibition and how it is considered central in Torah. Whoever denies it is like agreeing to the entire Torah. The Torah warns against it a total of 44 times. If avodoh zora falls into some other substance, it prohibits the entire mixture, no matter how small a proportion the avodoh zora is. We must not think about it or learn about it. We should not even use its buildings as landmarks. One should not even look at avodoh zora.

After 11 days of often intense fighting in northern Gaza between Israeli military forces and Palestinian militants, an Israeli tank came under heavy fire one night at about 1 a.m. Israeli forces responded by shooting back at the apparent sources of the fire.
