Municipal Elections in Israel

Final candidate lists were filed during Chol Hamoed Succos for the upcoming municipal elections, held once in five years. Mayors and city councils are elected all over Israel. Degel Hatorah filed lists of candidates in over 50 locales. For the first time in many years there are several areas in which they filed a list independent of Agudath Yisroel, most notably in Jerusalem, Haifa and Elad.

The Yeshivos Hakedoshos -- The Nation's Lifeline

by HaRav Shmuel Berenbaum

This shmuess was delivered by HaRav Shmuel Berenbaum at Yeshivas Beis Hillel in Bnei Brak during a chizuk meeting before the beginning of the summer zman.

I am honored to say divrei chizuk to bnei Torah before the coming summer zman. Although it is always important to strengthen others in Torah study, the gemora (Erchin 16b, according to the reading of the Shitta Mekubetzes) teaches us, "R' Tarfon said, `I wonder if anyone living today can rebuke others. If one man says, "You must remove a splinter from between your eyes [a small sin -- see Rashi]," the other will rebut, "You must remove the plank from between your eyes [a major sin]." ' R' Eliezer ben Azaryah said: `I wonder if anyone living today accepts rebuke willingly.'"
