Rallies and Gatherings to Warn about the Internet

A central gathering took place in the Yeshivas Torah Ohr kollel. HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rosh Yeshivas Slobodka, warned against the wiles of the yetzer hora, when one gallops ahead while failing to mend what needs repair, both through severing access to the Internet via computers which were are intended for writing divrei Torah, as well as in women's work places. The Mesillas Yeshorim refers to such attitudes saying, "A person must supervise his actions and be on guard not to expose his soul to dangers of perdition and self destruction."

Opinion

Who is an Authentic Jew?

by Mordecai Plaut

Most of Klal Yisroel - certainly most of the residents of Israel, judging by the way they answer surveys about their relationship to Jewish tradition - greeted as good news the announcement that Kibbutz Degania was building a beit knesset. Not so Reform Rabbi Dr. Dalia Sara Marx, a teacher at the Hebrew Union College.

The Task of a Jewish Mother

A letter from HaRav Shimshon Pincus, zt'l

A letter from HaRav Shimshon Pincus, zt'l written in response to a series of articles in which parents complained about the difficulty of hosting married children who visited them.


OPINION

Dehydration and Heat Stroke

by L. Raffles

There's an old expression that 'mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.' And I guess this is because they are so unused to seeing any sun at all. Certainly the English flood out into the streets and onto the beaches when the temperature inches over 70 degrees Fahrenheit (24 C), whereas seasoned Israelis would call that a mild day. The fact is, though, that lack of experience with high temperatures have made the English far too disrespectful of the dangers of prolonged exposure to the sun, and they are less likely to recognize the symptoms of dehydration or heat stroke.


OPINION

Thinking Deeply About Torah

by Maran HaRav Shach, zt"l

The Torah states: "If you seek it like silver, like buried treasures you look for it, then you will understand the fear of Hashem, and the knowledge of Elokim will you find" (Mishlei 2:4). The verse compares the effort of attaining yiras Shomayim to two things: the pursuit of money and the search for [buried] treasure.
