OPINION & COMMENT

A Solution in Lebanon is not Realistic

When we had a right-wing government, the Left was sure that all the problems, especially those involving our relations with our neighbors, would be solved if only there were a leftist government in power. Peace would be at hand with Syria, as it is (or even better than it is) with Egypt and Jordan.

by Rabbi Nosson Zeev Grossman

During the feverish preparations to prevent damage from the Y2K Bug -- the computer problem that demonstrates the extraordinary lack of foresight of the most ingenious computer programmers -- the media in general and the scientific magazines in particular devoted extensive articles to reviewing the world's technological developments over the past millennium and especially during the last two centuries.

Principles of Education
by HaRav Nosson Einfeld

More insights and thoughts on various aspects of chinuch from a veteran Torah educator.

HaRav Einfeld explained the tremendous obligation that an educator has toward his students. He is like a paid shomer who is constantly on duty, like Noach who had to feed the animals in the teivah night and day. R' Yeruchom compared it to the poles of the Oron Hakodesh in the Mishkan: they had to constantly be in their supportive role of the Oron, they must never be removed.
