A Year of Antisemitism
by D. Saks, South Africa The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), which took place in Johannesburg from 26 August to 4 September, has been pronounced a success by Jewish lobby groups.

No More Worries Over Shiny Applesby B. Yisraeli When Rav Shlomo Shmulevitz, head of the Department for Mitzvos Ha'aretz at the Jerusalem Rabbinate set out to eradicate non-kosher fruit waxes (shellac), few believed he would ever achieve much success in his lofty goal.

The concept is simple and straightforward; the implementation was anything but. Foreign Caregivers in Israelby M. Chevroni "She was making the children's sandwiches just like every
morning: two pieces of bread and a slice of cheese heated in
the toaster oven. When they were ready she made a sandwich
for herself: two slices of bread, a slice of cheese and
