To those entrusted with the Chinuch of Jewish Daughters in the Path of Yisrael Sabba:
May Hashem be with you,
We are now in the midst of the days of Chanukah, of which the Bach wrote that the harsh decree was a result of our having become lax in the avodoh, which empowered the forces of evil to such a degree that it was necessary to stand with extreme mesiras nefesh to combat the royal enactments.
Gathering of Bais Yaakov Educators
HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman issued a strong, incisive letter against introducing foreign academic subjects in the school curriculum, which was read at a meeting of the Association of Seminary Principals which took place on Chanukah Monday with the participation of seminary principals from all over the country.
"Who Asked This of You to Trample My Courtyards"
It is necessary to again clarify the severe prohibition against going up to Har Habayis and the stern error and misguided thought processes of those who breach this issur.
We maintain that it is forbidden to provoke the nations. The reason we must not act in any way to bring upon us their wrath is because we are in golus and part of the decree of exile is that we are under the rule of the nations. Since this is a heavenly decree, every believing Jew must accept this decree and not strive to flout it. It goes without saying that every Jew must also pray at all times, "may our eyes behold Your return to Zion with compassion," but it is surely forbidden to take any action showing that we resist the heavenly decree preventing this from coming to pass so far.

A few months ago, a six-year-old boy was hit and killed by a car in Bnei Brak. Naturally, one of the questions that arose was how the accident occurred and whose lack of caution was responsible.

Do we want to stop progress? No. Are we opposed to or afraid of technology? Of course not.
We use fluorescent lighting for our homes and botei medrash. We take the latest jet planes all the time. We use the latest and best methods for preparing and printing newspapers and sifrei kodesh. The decisions we make about how to travel or how to communicate are generally based on the costs and the benefits, and not on any evaluation of the technology.

Part IV
The national Agudas Yisroel convention on Isru Chag of Shavuos 5701 (1941) met in Petach Tikva with portents of the extermination of European Jewry. All of the participants were distraught over the reports arriving from Europe. The main speaker during the three days of speeches and lectures was the Ponevezher Rav, HaRav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman zt"l.

Many people ask how the going rate of silver is reckoned. We have, therefore, found it relevant to explore this subject in depth, though much more remains to be said in Halachic works on the topic, which the interested reader is advised to pursue.
