We justify this procrastination by thinking that if something were really crucial, we SPOTLIGHT could rise to the occasion - certainly if our careers or lives depended on it. Yet, from this week’s Parsha, we see that this is not so. “ואת כל העדה הקהילו באחד לחדש השני“ ,D'VAR HALACHA The Pasuk states Moshe gathered all of Klal Yisroel on the first of the second month. Why was it THIS WEEK necessary to tell us when Moshe gathered Klal Yisroel? Rabbeinu Yona derives from IN PICTURES here that Moshe possessed great alacrity and diligence in his performance of Mitzvos. Hashem instructed Moshe to perform the census on the first of the second month, and, PARSHA TEASER indeed, he immediately gathered Klal Yisroel on the very same day. The question arises: Wouldn’t any of us, even people who do not possess Shleimus in THE VAAD: the Middah of Zrizus, comply with the direct command of Hashem to conduct a YEAR IN REVIEW census? Why is this act such a great illustration and demonstration of Moshe’s alacrity? WEEKLY We see from here that had Moshe not been a total and complete master in Zrizus, he PUZZLER would never have gathered Klal Yisroel on the very same day he was commanded to ON THE begin the census.

  • The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can the Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments)
    The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can The Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments) The Future of Israeli Haredi Society: Can The Written Word Offer Some Insight? (And Assorted Other Comments) by Marc B. Shapiro 1. Months ago I was asked to write about the situation in Beit Shemesh that everyone was then focused on (and which will probably heat up again in the future). At the present, I don’t have anything to add to the discussion, and if I did it would be with reference to Jewish books, as this is, after all, a site devoted to seforim. While I have in the past given my views on various issues, it was in the context of Jewish books, and this case would be no different. This point was actually sorely missing in discussions of the Beit Shemesh situation and the haredi world in general. While what happens in real life does not always correspond to what appears in the books, knowledge of the latter is a great help in understanding what is going on in the community, at least with regard to the rabbinic elite. For example, if I were going to write something about the Neturei Karta faction that cozies up to Iran and Hamas, I would deal with how these people have tried to justify their actions from talmudic sources. They have even attempted to justify the sending of congratulations to Hamas after the latter succeeded in blowing up Jews in a terrorist attack. I have also been asked a number of times to write about the more basic issue of haredi ideology and democracy, which is on many people’s minds.
