The Reform Report of the 18th Knesset Activity
Throughout this Knesset term, the Reform bloc has been keeping tabs on the activity of the chareidi representatives. The deputy CEO of this faction, Shachar Ilan, former parliamentary correspondent of Ha'aretz newspaper, publicized the findings, that painfully (for him) affirm, "The 18th Knesset failed miserably in dealing with the topics of religious freedom and sharing responsibility." "Religious freedom" is the Reform code word for recognizing and support Reform activities, and "sharing responsibility" is the code word for drafting yeshiva students.
"Shabbos Chazon Ish" Declared for Shabbos Lech Lecha
Per the consensus of gedolei Yisroel, the upcoming Shabbos, Parshas Lech Lecha, has been proclaimed as "Shabbos Chazon Ish - Shabbos Avi Ezri."
Registration for "Achuzat Netiv" on Har Yonah
There is never a quiet day in the sales offices of the Achuzat Netiv housing project on Har Yonah. Heads of organized groups representing quality members are seeking to get information on the possibilities of buying and settling in this upcoming project. Many contracts have already been signed with bnei Torah buyers and a high-quality public. The registration recently took an upswing, thanks to the support extended by Torah leadership, especially HaRav Yaakov Edelstein, to this venture.
Hespeidim in Yeshivas Mir and Throughout the Jewish World for HaRav Nosson Tzvi Finkel zt"l
Chizuk rallies as well as moving hespeidim are scheduled to take place this coming Sunday in Yeshivas Mir, Jerusalem, Modi'in Illit and in Torah centers throughout the Torah world commemorating the first yahrtzeit of HaRav Nosson Tzvi Finkel, who was a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah and passed away on the 11th of Cheshvan last year. He produced tens of thousands of talmidim over dozens of years through tremendous self sacrifice and incredible dedication, while suffering greatly. He developed and expanded Yeshivas Mir to its swelling numbers of thousands of married and unmarried students until today it boasts of being the largest yeshiva in the world.
It protrudes incongruously among the matzeivos in
the Chelkas HaRabbonim on Har Hazeisim: a

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 Jewry as a whole. Unfortunately, because of the perspective 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.
The building on Rechov Adoniyohu Hakohen in Yerushalayim refused to reveal the events taking place inside it. We knocked gently on the door and saw a modest home with an old bookshelf, an old table, and simple chairs. We sensed that serene tranquility that has always been the reserve of the gedolim: Toras Hashem temimoh, meshivas nofesh.
Avrohom Ovinu was tested ten times. One of the tests was "Lech Lecho," the test of leaving his home. This test followed the test of not denying his faith in HaKodosh Boruch Hu when he faced death by fire in Ur Kasdim.
Recent years have brought more and more remonstrations against punishment, remarks that have made their way into our camp as well. The general idea is that punishment is ineffective and not educational, and can even repress the child and make him aggressive toward others, and so on.
