No-Confidence Motion Over De Hartoch Affair

Yaakov Cohen to remain stalwart and unafraid in his battle to
provide for chareidi education despite the recent violent
attack on him by Justice Department official Atty. Amnon de
Hartoch.
Note: This is appropriate for Tisha B'Av or Yom Kippur, but
not for the other fast days.
Starting two days before the fast, in the morning (e.g. if
the fast is on Shabbos this means Thursday morning) through
the day before the fast in the afternoon (e.g. Friday
afternoon) one should drink large quantities of water.
The Society of Iranian Jews and community leaders irately
rejected an offer by the Jewish Agency and wealthy Iranian ex-
patriots to make aliyah in exchange for tens of thousands of
dollars per family, in addition to regular immigrant
benefits.
Absorption Minister MK Zeev Boim and his entourage, MK
Michael Nudelman and a delegation of ranking Absorption
Ministry and Jewish Agency officials visited Modi'in Illit to
see first hand the outstanding efforts to meet the spiritual
and physical needs of immigrants living in the city.
The Netanya City Council convened a special meeting where a
large majority decided to ban the sale of pork in the city.
The decision was passed by 18 councilmen with objections from
councilmen from the Russian party and two abstentions.
by HaRav Dov Tzvi Karelenstein Yirmiyahu laments, "If only my head were water and my eyes a
fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for those
slain among the daughter of my people" (Yirmiyohu
8:23). "Rav Acha said, When Tzion, Yerushalayim, and the
Beis Hamikdosh were destroyed, and the heichal

According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say tachanun
from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after Isru Chag (there
are other minhogim that do not say tachanun
until after the seven days of hashlomoh that follow
Shavuos).
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we do not say tachanun like on
every Rosh Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom
HaMeyuchas since after yetzias Mitzrayim Hashem
commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel: "Now therefore
if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then
you shall be My own treasure from among all peoples"
(Shemos 19:5) to prepare them for Torah. Afterwards,
the third, forth, and fifth of Sivan are the Sheloshes
Yemei Hagboloh when bnei Yisroel waited for
kabolas HaTorah (Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see
Shabbos 86-88).
We do not say vetzidkoscho tzedek on Shabbos since it
is the YOm MaMeyuchas
