This branch, to open in Ellul 5745 (September 1985), will combine an excellent staff/program and comfortable dormi­ tory facilities with the unique atmosphere of Yerushalayim. This seminary is located on a beautiful street in the Rechavia'-Shaarei Chesed area, where a girl can truly feel she is in Eretz Yisroel. Our fact sheet, sent upon.request, describes innovations born of much thought and insight. All Beth Jacob high school graduates or those with equivalent preparation are invited to apply. It is our sincere desire, in establishing this Seminary, to join the lessons of our extensive educational experience in America with this atmosphere. This combination, we feel, will ensure a learning expetience which will be memorable for its scholastic level, for the warmth and vitality which our program will afford, and will be enhanced by the Kedusha of Eretz Yisroel.

    Sinful Thoughts: Comments on Sin, Failure, Free Will, and Related Topics Based on David Bashevkin’s new book Sin•a•gogue: Sin and Failure in Jewish Thought Sinful Thoughts: Comments on Sin, Failure, Free Will, and Related Topics Based on David Bashevkin’s new book Sin•a•gogue: Sin and Failure in Jewish Thought (Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2019) By Rabbi Yitzchok Oratz A Bashevkin-inspired Bio Blurb:[1] Rabbi Yitzchok Oratz is Rabbi of the Monmouth Torah Links community in Marlboro, NJ. His writings can be found in various rabbinic and popular journals, including Hakira, Ohr Yisroel, Nehoroy, Nitay Ne’emanim, and on Aish, Times of Israel, Torah Links, Seforim Blog, and elsewhere. His writings are rejected as often as they are accepted, and the four books he is currently working on will likely never see the light of day. “I’d rather laugh[2] with the sinners than cry with the saints; the sinners are much more fun.”[3] Fortunate is the man who follows not the advice of the wicked, nor stood in the path of the sinners, nor sat in the session of the scorners. (Psalms 1:1) One who hopes is always happy [and] without pain . hope keeps one alive . even one who has minimal good deeds . has hope . one who hopes, even if he enters Hell, he will be taken out . his hope is his purity, literally the Mikvah [4] of Yisroel . and this is the secret of repentance . (Ramchal, Derush ha-Kivuy) [5] Rabbi David Bashevkin is a man deeply steeped in sin.

(Pictured below, top in 1987; top right, Rav Schwab at the 55th Aguda שליט''א ,left, Rav Schwab with Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky Convention giving his memorable speech on excesses in spending, bottom left, Rav Schwab with Rav Rav Perlow at the 1987 Dinner; bottom right, with Rabbi Moshe Scherer and the יבלח''ט Glucksman and Pnei Menachem of Gur at the 1977 Aguda convention.) on Thursday evening, March 5th/10 Adar by Rabbi אי''ה A special Shiur to mark the occasion will be given Doniel Schwab. All members, men and women, are urged to attend. Twenty-five years ago, the entire Yeshiva attended the Levaya in Shul. The next Kolenu reported as follows: “We, together with the rest of Klal Yisroel, mourn the great loss which befell us with the passing of our revered Rav Shimon Schwab, zt”l. According to police estimates, approximately 4,000 people came from all over to pay their respects to this Godol B’Yisroel. Whether Rav Schwab spoke with first graders who just received their first Vol. 50, No. 5 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 2 Chumash or the accomplished Chochom, Rav Schwab was always able to imbue his students with Torah and Yiras Shomayim. We pray that the Rav will be a Meilitz Yosher for his beloved Kehilla and Yeshiva and all of Klal Yisroel.” Though a quarter of a century has passed, Rav Schwab’s influence, particularly through his Seforim, is still strongly felt, both in our community and throughout the Jewish world.

  • The Use of Helicopters Against Guerrillas the Israeli Model
    JEMEAA - FEATURE The Use of Helicopters against Guerrillas The Israeli Model DR. TAL TOVY ince its establishment, the State of Israel has been facing a bloody struggle against terrorism and guerrilla warfare, in addition to four conventional wars.1 The Israeli war against guerrilla fighters or terrorists began almost Simmediately after the War of Independence. Palestinian terrorists attempted to infiltrate Israel from the surrounding Arab countries and perform sabotage ac- tions near the border, which were little more than lines drawn on a map and proved wholly inadequate in stopping the infiltrations. After the 1967 war, most terrorists crossed over from Jordan. Following the “Black September” conflict in 1970 and up until 1982 (Operation Peace for Galilee), most terrorists infiltrated through the Lebanese border. In the 1980s and 1990s, Israel fought against the Shiite Amal Movement and Hezbollah organization in Lebanon. Since October 2000, Israel has struggled against widespread military uprisings in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. To counter these activities, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) uses various opera- tional methods. Special Forces have raided known terrorist bases and routine se- curity activities have been conducted along the borders and in the major cities. A third method has been targeting specific terrorist leaders or installations in the Middle East and in Europe. Most operations of the first and third categories are still classified. The IDF has launched a few large attacks targeting terrorist infra- structure—for example Karameh and Litany—with the most extensive one being the Lebanon War (1982), at least initially. In these large-scale operations, Israel has deployed massive infantry, armor, and artillery forces.

  • Chassidus on the Eh're Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) RE ’EH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah The Merit of Charity Compound forms of verbs usually indicate thoroughness. Yet when the Torah tells us (14:22), “You shall fully tithe ( aser te’aser ) all the produce of your field,” our Sages derive another concept. “ Aser bishvil shetis’asher ,” they say. “Tithe in order that you shall become wealthy.” Why is this so? When the charity a person gives, explains Rav Levi Yitzchak, comes up to Heaven, its provenance is scrutinized. Why was this particular amount giv en to charity? Then the relationship to the full amount of the harvest is discovered. There is a ration of ten to one, and the amount given is one tenth of the total. In this way the entire harvest participates in the mitzvah but only in a secondary role. Therefore, if the charity was given with a full heart, the person giving the charity merits that the quality of his donation is elevated. The following year, the entire harvest is elevated from a secondary role to a primary role in the giving of the charit y.
