& COMMENT
Back to the Beis Medrash
"Everyone knows" that in order to properly preserve printed
materials they must be microfilmed. For more than 30 years
libraries and commercial companies have committed their
documents to microfilm in order to ensure permanent records.
Between 1968 and 1984 the United States Library of Congress
destroyed more than $10 million worth of books in order to
microfilm them, according to author Nicholson Baker.
Preparation for Yeshiva Gedolah
by HaRav Michel Yehudah Lefkovitz
Many parents and roshei yeshivos of yeshivos
ketanos must guide boys finishing yeshivos ketanos

Ridiculing Our Torah Leaders
by HaRav Mordechai HaMeiri
Part II
In the first part, the author makes clear that his
remarks are directed against those committed to the
leadership of HaRav Shach shlita. He then gives several
examples of HaRav Shach's activities including examples of

Rabbenu Yonah about the strictness that cutting oneself off
from the community is not advised.

beast and the fowl" and afterwards, in our parsha,
"And she [the new mother] shall be impure for seven days"
Vayikra Rabba 14).
They Told Us So
by E. Rauchberger
Seven or eight years ago, during the Rabin government, the
Oslo Accords were born. The Likud, then the opposition
party, was firmly opposed to the accords both in the Knesset
and in mass demonstrations and protest activities across the
country. The Right was up in arms against the proceedings
with the Palestinians, but to no avail. The accords were
signed and dispatched, and the ball was set in motion.
