OBSERVATIONS
A Wake-Up Call from Israel
This message is from the Kollel Ohr Shimon in Beitar
Illit
You in America, we in Israel, are all acutely aware of
the emergency situation we find ourselves in. When
Torah leaders the world over issue a declaration that
on erev Rosh Chodesh Nisan all Jews should fast
and cry out to Hashem, this must alarm us. It is up to
us to take their words to heart -- as well as to see
them in their historical perspective.
Observations: A New Scientific Theory Seeks a Place
in Secular Education Alongside Evolution
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
The latest general alternative to evolution in the US
is something known as "the theory of intelligent
design." It seems to be an approach that is more
respected than was the earlier "Creationist" approach. This
idea is certainly very far from the Torah truth, but
it represents an interesting effort to try to leave a
space for Divine influence in America's officially
secular education.
Observations: A "Goral HaGro" 400 Years Ago
Some two hundred years before the time of the Vilna
Gaon, Rav S. Sirero, a contemporary of the Beis Yosef,
writes about a goral following the method
attributed in our time to the Vilna Gaon zt"l and
now known as the Goral HaGra.
