Emergency Chinuch Meeting Over Efforts to Undermine the Curriculum

Gedolei Yisrael convened in an emergency meeting to discuss the purity of chareidi education at the preschool level. It took place in Modi'in Illit and was attended by hundreds of kindergarten teachers. "Any attempts to effect a determined trend to change our chinuch according to a different model counter to our principles, are bound to fail." These were the sharp words of HaRav David Cohen, rosh yeshiva of Chevron Yeshiva. The keynote address was delivered by HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, rosh yeshiva of Slobodka yeshiva. Also sponsoring this meeting was the Mara d'Asra and member of the Rabbinical Committee for Chinuch of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, HaRav Meir Kessler, as well as the Rosh Yeshiva of Slonim, member of the above Committee, HaRav Moshe Barzeski.

OPINION

The Written Word

by R. Chadshai

The art of writing is in danger of becoming obsolete. Nevertheless, there are many occasions when a short note is a very useful channel of communication. Obviously, there is the ubiquitous email, but not yet everyone has access to it and furthermore, a written note may achieve its aim more readily.
