It's All Over in Gush Katif
By M Plaut and Betzalel Kahn, Gush Katif

At Ganei Tal on Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. MK Tzvi Hendel (HaIchud HaLeumi), one of the first settlers in Gush Katif and a leader among the settlers for 30 years, waits. Two ranking Air Force officers knock on the door. "In accordance with the decision of the government and the Knesset we have come to remove you from your home," says one of the officers, whose stars indicate he is a major general.

Produce Production in the Post-Gush Katif Era
By S. Fried

OPINION & COMMENT

Worrying about the Day After the Disengagement

It is already the "day after" the Disengagement, much sooner than anyone had expected. The media will pack up and look for the next drama that will capture the attention of the world audience. Orange strips of cloth will continue to decorate children's bikes. Everyone else will carry on with their lives.

Ahavoh and Emunoh — Comparisons and Differences. And What is the Way to Love of Him?
by Mordecai Plaut

Part II

The first part discussed the basic difference between ahavoh and emunoh: the latter is an internal action that does not require the object. One can believe in something even if that thing is not present. Love, on the other hand, is a relationship that requires the presence of a beloved object.

Additional Luach Information

The Shabbos after Tishah B'Av is called Shabbos Nachamu because of the haftorah in Yeshaya 40 "Console, console My people" that is said on that Shabbos. This haftoroh starts a series of shivah denechemosah (seven haftoros of consolation).

The fifteenth of Menachem Av (Tu B'Av) is considered a Yom Tov because of several reasons: First, it is the day that bnei Yisroel stopped dying in the Sinai Desert. Second, bnei Yisroel were then allowed to marry from one shevet to the other, and those from shevet Binyomin were allowed to marry within bnei Yisroel. Third, on this day Hoshei'a ben Aloh removed the barricades originally put up by Yerovam ben Navot preventing bnei Yisroel to be oleh regel. Fourth, bnei Yisroel then stopped chopping down wood for the mizbei'ach and therefore they had more time to study Torah. Sixth, on this day those killed in Beitar were buried.
