OPINION
& COMMENT
What is Victory?
This is already the longest war the State of Israel ever
fought. Although it is far from the worst in terms of
casualties, it is also unprecedented in the fact that so much
of the Home Front has been under fire.
Otzros Yemei Elul
Selections from the Sefer Otzros Yemei Elul
by S. Yisroel
Who is Afraid of Elul?
In opposition to the call of the shofar that echoes
these days in our botei medroshos, the Soton raises
his voice and seeks to decrease and weaken the influence of
the shofar's call. As the shofar's call arouses
our hearts to strengthen ourselves in avodas Hashem,
the Soton claims there is no reason for this strengthening.
Nature and Miracles
by R' Dovid Kornreich
We will approach this famous topic from the vantage point of
the Rambam via a seemingly unrelated discussion: Why did the
Rambam list the belief in the resurrection of the dead as
one of the Thirteen Articles of Faith? Why is this ikkar
on a par with G-d's existence, prophesy, Torah from
Shomayim, and reward and punishment in order for a Jew to be
considered among the Jewish people?
"This is the Segulah of the Torah"

"He left behind a son like him." This is how Maran the
Rosh Yeshiva, HaRav Shach ztvk'l expressed it in his
eulogy for Maran the Steipler ztvk'l. In a rare
moment, the editor of the Hebrew Yated's Musaf Shabbos
Kodesh, R' Yisroel Friedman, and writer of these lines,
Rabbi A. Chefetz, were admitted into the inner sanctum of
HaRav Chaim Kanievsky.
