Education Ministry Fined for Deliberately Covering Up the
Success of a Chareidi Educational Project
A district court fined the Education Ministry NIS 13,500
($3,500) for violating the Freedom of Information Law by
hiding an NIS 1 million study on the results of math
achievement tests for first- and second-graders that showed
the superiority of a method developed by two chareidi
teachers from Bnei Brak.
Jerusalem's Ramot neighborhood is set to become a center of
activity for the chareidi sector of Jerusalem in the coming
months based on a comprehensive plan led by Mayor Rabbi Uri
Lupoliansky to build halls, community centers and leisure
facilities.
"All of the moves related to the conversion system are totally coordinated with Chief Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar," Minister Ruhama Avraham (Balila) (Kadima) told the Knesset plenum this week, while responding to a no-confidence motion filed by UTJ and HaIchud HaLeumi-NRP on "the Prime Minister's intervention in halachic issues and distortion of conversion procedures."
Organizers are busy making final arrangements for the
Education Conference scheduled to take place at Nir Etzion
starting on Tuesday Rosh Chodesh Shevat. Registration is at a
peak for the three-day event, which is expect to draw
rabbonim, public figures, principals, education directors,
inspectors and top educators.
Torah is Only an Antidote when One's Torah Meets the Required
Level A shmuess by HaRav Gershon Edelstein shlita
Part II
The first part began by saying that one's deeds must
correspond to his wisdom, each one according to his wisdom.
If one's wisdom is greater, so must his deeds be, or else he
will not succeed in Torah. By "deeds" Chazal include
everything that a person does or does not do. Only if
everything he does is up to the level of his wisdom will his
Torah be an antidote to the yetzer hora.

"Some are accustomed to pray Yom Kippur Koton (on
erev Rosh Chodesh)...The Maharom of Korduviro would call
it Kippur Koton since on it would be atoned the sins
of the whole month...The seforim write that even if
someone doesn't fast he should do teshuvah on this day
and remedy the sins of the whole month since this is the last
day of each month just like erev Rosh HaShannah is of the
whole year" (Mishnah Berurah 417:4).
