said not to offer anything without reciprocity from the
Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak laid just
about all his cards onto the table with the Palestinians.
The Torah Universe: The Hunt
by Rabbi Nosson Slifkin
One morning I visited the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo to discuss a
Torah-based guidebook that we were working on (it has now
been published, under the title In Noah's Ark: Biblical
Perspectives on the Zoo). Shmulik, the zoologist that I
was speaking with, suddenly cut me short; he had to go and
attend to a sick ibex.

A Question of Definition
by A. Yitzchaki
This past Lag b'Omer was relatively quiet, since no
chareidi kids were given flags to burn by freelance
photographers. But they won't have to wait until next
Independence Day in order to nab flag desecraters. They don't
have to send a bored photographer to pay a foolish kid to
burn the flag in front of the camera.

To the Editor:
I would like to apprise our readers of a common phenomenon:
the lack of attention to the problem of hechsherim on
