His First Yahrtzeit - Special Articles HaRav Shach as Rosh Yeshiva Daas Torah From HaRav Shach ztvk"l A Sketch of the Ponevezher Rosh Yeshiva
A huge car bomb that murdered almost 200 people in Indonesia
drew worldwide condemnation and an assertion by US President
Bush that it was almost certainly the work of the Al Qaeda
terrorist network that attacked New York City and Washington
D.C. over a year ago. In his tzavo'oh, HaRav Shach requested "of all the
talmidim who benefited from me, whether in Torah,
yiras Hashem or in midos, that they do
chessed for me by learning for my neshomoh even
one mishna, or one mussar thought, for I was
moser nefesh for their success." Israel has agreed to begin substantial transfers of tax
revenue to the Palestinian Authority after reaching an
understanding with the US to ensure that the money is not
used for terror. The US applied heavy pressure to release the
remainder of the funds as a way of easing Palestinian
hardship.

The first findings were released last week from the National
Jewish Population Survey (NJPS) 2000-2001. Based on the
latest techniques, generously funded and richly detailed, it
is without a doubt the best picture available of American

of those who are behind it, the community that it depicts is
not the Am Hashem, the people of which it is said that
they are one with Hashem and the Torah. PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Results are now coming in from the American education system
