OPINION
& COMMENT
Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky for Mayor of Yerushalayim
It is no secret that Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky, UTJ candidate for
mayor of Jerusalem, is chareidi. For some, like us, this is a
point in his favor. For others this may not count in his
favor. But whatever you think about his religion, it is not
necessarily the main reason that he is the best man to run
Jerusalem.

from HaRav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz Zichron Meir Bnei Brak

encouragement and guidance in these difficult times.
Thoughts on the 28th of Iyar -- Yom Yerushalayim
by Rav Yerachmiel Kram
Our rabbonim, past and present, have made it clear to us not
to mark the 28th of Iyar in any way, although since 28 Iyar
5727 we have been able to go to the remnant of Beis
Hamikdosh to pour out our prayers at the place the
Shechinoh has not left. I feel it would be worthwhile
to expand a bit on their reasons, which have not been fully
elucidated -- particularly to the younger generation.
The Royal Garb: Getting Dressed for Shabbos and Yom
Tov
by Rabbi D. Travis
The daughter of a prominent Torah personality once asked her
father if she could travel to England to visit her
grandparents. The Rov replied that he was willing to let her
go, but that she would have to earn the trip. While she
started making the calculation of how many hours she would
have to baby-sit to cover the airfare, her father explained
that he was not referring to a monetary commitment. He wanted
her to go to the queen's palace and see two things: the
changing of the guard and the crown jewels.
Thoughts About SARS
To The Editor:
"Why did Hashem promise that He would never bring another
flood upon the Earth ever again? It doesn't mean that Hashem
will not bring localized disasters upon the world. He will
bring napalm. He will being poison gas. He will bring
viruses!" (HaRav Avigdor Miller zt"l, The Path of Life
2002, p.14).
Letters to the Editor
Seguloh to Protect Against Harm
During these difficult times it would be worthwhile to
publicize an excerpt from Shaarei Teshuvoh on
Hilchos Shabbos, 293, 3 mentioned by HaRav Don Segal
during a shiur he gave.
