HaRav Moshe Shapira zt"l


On Motzei Shabbos the Tenth of Teves, the Torah world lost one of the greatest marbitzei Torah of our generation, a unique intellect who was master of all areas of Torah. He said shiurim in all areas of Torah, including a famous Thursday night shiur on machshovoh that drew hundreds of listeners.

A Disposable Diaper Gets a Hechsher!


For the first time in Israel, and probably the whole world, a disposable diaper has received a mehadrin hechsher. Pampers Active Baby Dry disposable diapers have received a kashrus certification from HaRav Eliyahu Schlesinger, Av Beis Din and Rav of Gilo and Mekor Chaim as the "diaper which remains completely dry, and those who are concerned about sechita have nothing to worry about.

by HaRav Sholom Ber Sorotzkin

1) "And as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rochel died on me in the land of Canaan along the way, when yet there was but a little way to come to Efrat, and I buried her there on the road of Efrat, that is Beis Lechem" (Bereishis 48:7).

One such headline from over half a century ago read, "The candidate for president, Dr. Weizmann, advises maintaining the refugees in the camps for the sake of `the stability of Zionism in the country.'" These words, which represent a very distorted, even fearsome, attitude with regard to the bitter fate of persecuted Jews, people who survived the devastating Holocaust by the skin of their teeth -- says everything about the Zionist movement, whose centennial was `celebrated' this past year.
