The Holy Revolution of Bnei Torah from Chutz La'aretz

An impressive gathering took place this past Motzei Shabbos parshas Vayakhel-Pekudei in the Tamir auditorium in Jerusalem, initiated and attended by gedolei Yisrael and thousands of yeshiva students from abroad who live in Eretz Yisrael.

Matchmaking Tricks

by Chaim Walder

FICTION

Gitty arrived at Batsheva Rotner's wedding very late even though, without almost any effort at all, she could have not arrived. The Rotners are good friends, and a bit related to Gitty's family, and Gitty didn't want them to say: "Not only is she 28 and still unmarried, but she also doesn't even come to the weddings of friends." There's a limit to how much calumny Gitty was prepared to suffer in one night.

by Rav Yerachmiel Kram
