Chareidi Educational Institutions will not be Funded Unless They teach the Core Curriculum
The new Education Minister, Rabbi Shai Piron from the Yesh Atid party, declared, "Chareidi institutions will not receive government monies unless they incorporate the Liba Core Curriculum." In other words, chadorim which do not teach mathematics, English and Civic studies would not receive any government funding. "The chareidim will come to understand that we will not underwrite [a curriculum] which is against our interests. Institutions which teach the Core program will receive a full 100% coverage and those who do not will suffer." Rabbi Piron is the head of a high school yeshiva in Petach Tikva and one of the founders of the Zohar movement.

As a bochur, Menachem Manes Moore sailed from his hometown in Northern England carrying a large load of spiritual recording equipment. He had a powerful desire to absorb all he could and a great thirst to charge his batteries with Torah and mussar. Everywhere he went, his head took in the picture laid out before his eyes. He would listen and absorb, look and take "photographs" with his mind's built-in camera.
Pesach 5703 (1943). The rebels barricaded themselves on the rooftops. They had arsenals of weapons. Rumor had it that the morning following the first night of Pesach had been designated for the liquidation of the ghetto. The purpose: to give the Fuhrer a birthday gift. 19 Nisan, 5703.
