Protest Against Bogus Shabbos Hetter for Digital Equipment

Smuggled Camel Meat and Donkey Meat was Sold in Treif Restaurants
"Hazard is more severe than prohibition" - except that vigil against hazards goes via the guarding against prohibitions. Thousands of people were deceived in high class treif restaurants into thinking that they were paying for high quality fare when in truth, they were being served donkey and camel meat whose consumption date had expired and which constituted an actual health hazard. A network of smugglers, including Israelis and Palestinians, supplied the said meat to dozens of restaurants, including leading, expensive ones, and to butcher shops selling treif meat, forging their origin and their veterinary certification, as well as their date of expiry.

The Rav understood all the Jew's kitchen utensils to be involved in the question. The Gaon had doubts about the psak and was hesitant to give a ruling. He therefore told the Jew: "You are invited to stay with me the whole Pesach."

By R. Chadshai
FICTION
Ever since Gershon was five, he had lacked a father figure. One bitter day, his father, Reb Shaul Eisenberg went on a business trip out of Poland and was never heard from again. Little Gershon keenly felt the trauma of his mother Gittel, who in an instant had been transformed from a young woman with a promising future into a suffering agunah who could barely cope with raising her only child. At first, Gershon became introverted, withdrawing into himself and barely speaking. Afterwards, he grew angry at the entire world.
