What Would the Chazon Ish Do if he were Prime Minister?
A confidant of Torah leaders, HaRav Aharon Yeshaya Roter, says:
The first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, asked the Chazon Ish in a famous encounter, as follows: "Let us speak theoretically that it is decided that the Chazon Ish become Prime Minister. What would you promulgate? Would you give gemoras to all soldiers or would you provide them with sophisticated weaponry?"
Campaign to Encourage Everyone to Join Areivim
In all Jewish communities there is a pronounced arousal to the call of Torah leaders to utilize these few days left of the annual Areivim week to join this project, especially through the come-on of lotteries of various prizes donated for the purpose of getting the public to join and to urge others to join. This lottery is being held for the new applicants and for present members who bring new members to Areivim.

The competition included 115,000 voters. The second prize was awarded to the popular WAZE road navigation program, while the third prize went to the drip irrigation invention by a narrow margin of only twelve votes less than the second prize.
