OPINION & COMMENT

The North Korean Threat to World Peace

North Korea is a reminder of what much of the world was once like. Extensive information about conditions there is hard to come by, but it manages to feed itself only because of the charity of the rest of the world. It is a hungry nation of about 23 million people.

The Achilles Heel of the Yetzer Hora
by Rabbi Zvi Miller

We find a curious pattern in the Torah: Hashem first promises victory to Klal Yisroel and then cautions them not to panic. For instance he assures us (Devorim 20:2): ""When you go out to war against your enemy and you see horse and chariot, a great multitude of people who outnumber you, do not fear them because Hashem, your G-d, is with you — Who brought you up from the land of Egypt."

by Chaim Arbeli

In what year was Avrohom Ovinu circumcised? (2047) In what year was Yeshivas Stutchin, a branch of Knesses Yisroel, established? (5669) From whom did Chavakuk, the prophet who was the transmitter of the Torah in his generation, receive Torah and to whom did he pass it on?

They Travel to Eat `Teg'
by D. Tzfatman

The new zman is about to begin for yeshiva students — for everyone, for that matter. It is a moment of leave- taking from home. For some, for those who are first leaving behind their warm home, the transition to yeshiva is to leave behind their childhood as they go forth to "exile themselves to a place of Torah" in their respective dormitories.

Big Bang

To the Editor:

"Finding Hashem in Nature - Losing Hashem in Science" (14 Tishrei) referred to the "heretical evidence" of the Big Bang." Indeed, the Big Bang theory cannot be squared with the Bereishis account.
