Guarding Our Neighborhoods: In a letter published in Iyar 5771 (May 2011), maranan gedolei Yisroel shlita wrote against the various weeklies: "All of the weeklies and the free publications, including Mishpacha, skew and distort the proper Torah worldview we received from our rabbonim, and newspapers of this sort should definitely not be brought into one's home or assisted in any way. Clearly this type of newspaper cannot be granted any sort of rabbinical approval."
Over 8,200 body parts have not been properly buried, the Health Ministry reported during a meeting the Knesset Constitution Committee held this week to review the matter.
US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, accompanied by ranking embassy officials, visited the hallowed halls of Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem this week, sanctifying Sheim Shomayim.
Two weeks after a complaint was filed with Beit Shemesh Police against Ha'aretz photographer Alex Libak for verbally attacking a four-year-old chareidi girl and her mother and spitting in their direction, no action has been taken.
A chareidi family from Aix-les-Bains, France was attacked in Geneva last week. The father, mother, five children and grandmother drove to the Natural History Museum in the Swiss city during the morning hours. When they arrived, some of them spotted an unidentified youth with a threatening appearance who seemed to be waiting for them to leave the building.
Led by gedolei Torah, roshei yeshivos and rabbonim, a large gathering was on hand to lay to rest HaRav Nissan Aharon Tikotchinsky zt"l, head of Eitz Chaim Institutions in Eretz Yisroel, whose distinctive character has accompanied Jerusalem children throughout the 70 years he led Eitz Chaim.
HaRav Naftoli zt"l was born in 5410 (1650) in Prague, where his father, Rabbi Yitzchok Hacohen, was Darshan. His mother's name was Eidel.
From Our Archives Opinion & Comment
European Jewry was rocked by the petiroh of HaRav Chaim Kreiswirth ztvk"l, the rov of Antwerp and leader of the Jewish community of the European continent. His influence and authority was felt throughout the European continent and beyond with respect to halachic matters and Jewish leadership.
Many yeshiva managers and heads of various Torah institutions have a feeling that the national leaders of the State of Israel would like to put an end to the Torah world. There is no other way to explain why the Ministry of Finance has been heaping abuse on the yeshiva world for many long years, renewing the attack each year and sometimes stepping up the offensive.
