Cigarettes May be Chometz and are Forbidden on Pesach

The production process of cigarettes these days is more complex than in the past. The cigarettes found abroad contain, aside from tobacco, an assortment of raw materials which serve to lengthen their shelf life, preserve their taste and promote addiction. These include starches, glues and many other ingredients, in addition to the tobacco which may be immersed in alcohol, serving as a basic filler for all cigarettes.

Pesach: The Victory of Light and Truth

by Mordecai Plaut

"Will the formula at last be found, by which love can coexist peaceably with justice, and freedom with law -- on this earth? Will light and truth finally gain genuine victories? Or will science and art debase themselves and increasingly become accomplices of sensualism and despiritualization? Will the mind of man bend ever lower under the yoke of sensuality?"


A Talking Mouth: Man, the Dolphin and the Splitting of the Sea

by Rabbi Meir Yisraelovitch

The faculty of speech does not seem unique to humankind. Dolphins have a rather sophisticated language. And a whole host of other creatures, great and small, from the birds in the trees to the ants in the ground, have elaborate modes of communication that scientists are only beginning to learn about.
