Tremendous Chizuk in Bein Hazmanim Torah Study and Avoiding Technological Pitfalls
On motzei Shabbos Vayikra there was a great kenes in Bnei Brak to pray and to draw strength for the times ahead. The speeches in Bnei Brak were broadcast in botei medrash and shuls throughout Israel and even the entire world was a heartening and moving manifestation of Kiddush Hashem. The message conveyed so strongly was the need for increased toil-in-Torah, which was indeed internalized by tens of thousands of avreichim and bnei yeshiva. Who could not be impressed by the stirring words of HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman and HaRav Chaim Kanievsky at the Kinnus Bnei Yeshivos which took place motzei Shabbos parshas Vayikra in the Armonos Chen hall in Bnei Brak? The lessons were certainly absorbed by the tens of thousands in the remote locations as well.
Strong Protests against the Anti-Religious Government by Chareidi MKs
MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni symbolically tore up the coalition agreements which were signed between HaLikud Beiteinu, Yesh Atid and Habayit Hayehudi in the Knesset plenum in protest, declaring that "we reject those agreements which harm chareidi citizens and Torah students in this state and they shall not be implemented."
Message of HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman to the Rally
We are in a time of dire trouble and each and every one of us knows the terrible threat facing us. We have enjoyed several generations of growth and increase in Torah for us and our children. Yeshivos have proliferated and the youth is studying Torah. And now, suddenly, this horrible trouble is facing us, a frightening danger threatening to destroy Klal Yisroel and Torah, G-d forbid. We pray to Hashem that He enable us in His mercy to continue studying Torah for the rest of our lives and that Torah not budge from our mouths and from our children forevermore.
Our weekly report of the rain and the level of the Kineret.
Just as in Mitzrayim it was said of Yosef Hatzaddik, "VeYosef hu hamashbir," he was the supplier of sustenance to all, so it was said of the Beis Yosef. He is the one who supplies spiritual sustenance and guidance to every Jew, even today, from the moment he is born until his last breath.

It is hard to describe, but you know it when you feel it: Freedom.
It is said in the name HaRav Elchonon Wasserman, Hy"d, zt"l, who said in the name of the Gaon of Vilna, that there are sixty-four mitzvos to be done on Pesach night, deOraisa and derabbonon, with each brochoh counting as a separate mitzvah.
Two miracles occurred on the tenth day of Nisan. There was the miracle of the selection and purchase of the [animal for the] Korbon Pesach, as is brought down in the Tur (Orach Chaim 430) and, [years later,] the miracle of the crossing of the Jordan River (Yehoshua 4:19). Upon deeper thought, one is puzzled to realize that, while we have an ongoing yearly commemoration of the nes Korbon Pesach, for the miracle of the crossing of the Jordan River we have no commemoration at all.
The Leil HaSeder is a very special night. There is a saying of tzaddikim that the Leil HaSeder gives a seder for the entire year. If we experience the Leil HaSeder properly, it's a wonderful experience. It can make a revolution within us and in our attachment to Hashem.
In the first part of our article on ta'avah, we described the insatiable craving that people have for physical pleasure, comparing it to a thirsty man who tries to solve his problem by drinking salty water that just increases his thirst.
The oak trees, which seemingly had not gotten older, lined the streets, their empty branches stretched upward, praying for another spring. The houses' uncompromising front of dark red bricks, with suspicious windows opening on the street. The sidewalks remained full of cracks as always; the municipality, it seemed, made do with a promise of repairs. The stores retained their relatively severe appearance. And suddenly, Ben became once again a six-year-old boy casting a longing look into their crowded display windows.
