Loosly translated ..... original Hebrew below
It is Independence Day. And we have already talked several times about the correct view of the establishment of the State of Israel in the Land of Israel, according to the words of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l.
Beginner and intermediate Talmud courses are back on the course schedule for undergraduate students at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women, after an uproar over their cancellation.
Stern College administrators had said the school would not offer beginning and intermediate Talmud — courses about a foundational Jewish text for women at the country’s flagship Modern Orthodox university — because of low enrollment in those classes. That prompted more than 1,400 students, graduates and others to sign a petition urging the school to reinstate the classes and to endow a full-time chair of Talmud studies.
Now, Stern College says it is adding several Talmud classes to next semester’s schedule, citing increased interest among students. (Registration opens May 2.)
“It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of interest revolving around women’s Talmud learning on the Beren campus,” Shoshana Schechter, Stern’s associate dean of Torah and spiritual life, and Deena Rabinovich, chair of the Jewish studies department, said in a letter distributed to students by email and WhatsApp on Tuesday.
As the State of Israel celebrates its 75th Independence Day, let's take a look at once of its exceptional features: support of Torah study.
Whatever you think about learning Torah, it's indisputable that Israel has the largest concentration of Torah scholars in the world, and that Israel is the only country that provides direct financial support to Torah scholars.
My grandfather, may he live and be well, celebrated his 91st birthday this year. He often relates how, when he was a boy, he would wear a baseball cap over his kippah when he left the house, embarrassed to identify himself as religious. One day, a friend came up to him and said, "Do you really think you can hide it? Just take off the kippah already! Do you really want to be the last religious kid left? It's all over!"
The sense that the world of Torah learning was doomed to extinction prevailed throughout the early years of the State, encouraged by its secular leaders. That sense was also what inspired people like my grandfather and others, such as Rabbi Neria and Rabbi Druckman, to take upon themselves the heavy burden of ensuring that Torah learning survived. Their motto was, "We'll establish a yeshivah in every city, in every town, in every village." Over time, their vision became a reality, a living, breathing reality.
Now for some figures, to give a clearer idea of the immense changes over the past 75 years:
The secular Zionists have constantly been out to destroy
Yiddishkeit. They wanted to eradicate the Torah and its
followers. They keep trying to ืฉืื ื"ื all of ืืื ืืฉืจืื and
turn them ืืื ืืืืื ืจ"ื.
ืืืงื"ื ืืฆืืื ื ืืืื
Hashem turned the tables on them. Instead of Zionist stopping
us from learning Torah they became the largest financial
supporters of Torah. They spend billions of Shekalim to
build ืืืจืื, ืืฉืืืืช, ืืืืืื, ืืืช ืืขืงื, ืกืืื ืจ, etc.
They also spend billions to support the ืื ื ืชืืจื who learn Torah.
Over the past two thousand years,(maybe even beyond)
there has never been so much Torah learning anywhere in
the world as it is done now in Eretz Yisroel. There never was
such a large ืฆืืืืจ of ืชืืืืื ืืืืื, ืื ื ืชืืจื, ืฉืืืจื ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืช
The secular Zionists try to make it difficult to remain a Torah
observant Yid, yet they are the ones who are paying billions
of Shekalim for Rabonim, Dayanim, Mashgichim, Shuls,
& Mikvaos in every city & town in the country alleviating the
financial burden of Torah observant Yidden.
In every country in the world, the ืืืืจืช ืฉืื today is rampant. Intermarriage is between 70%-85% in every country except in the Zionist State where intermarriage is less than 2-3% (still too many)
As much as the secular Zionists try to ืฉืื Klal Yisroel, The
Ribono Shel Olam made sure their wishes won't happen.
Despite the Zionist claim of ืืื ืืขืืฆื ืืื, etc. especially during
the six-day war, the whole ืืขืื ืชืฉืืื movement we know of
today started during the war. For the past few thousand years
there have never been so many ืืขืื ืชืฉืืื as we have today.
We could have had way more ืืขืื ืชืฉืืื had we tried a little
harder not to make the non-Frum have reason to hate us.
Russian Jewry which seemed to be totally lost in the sixties
was part of the six-day war miracle.
Instead of the Zionists converting the Frum the opposite is
happening, the non-Frum become Frum.
Ben Yehudah, created the modern ืขืืจืืช so that the Frum
Yidden will give up their old fashion religion and become a
modern non-Frum society with its own modern language.
Today, the language used to learn Torah is mostly ืขืืจืืช. In most Chadorim, Yeshivos, Kollelim & Bais Yakovs the Shiurim & Schmussen are given in ืขืืจืืช. Chavrusos in the Bais Midrash
argue & shout at each other in the language that was intended
to keep them out of the Bais Midrash.
Yes, it's true it is not yet a perfect world out there, but when
was the last time that it was? Even during ืืืช ืจืืฉืื, there
were Kings who were ืขืืืื ืขืืืื ืืจื.
Perhaps the secular Zionists should be the ones
to say ืืื, being it was the Zionist State who
saved them from ืฉืื.
Almost 100% of the European non-Zionist Maskilim
converted and abandoned Yiddishkeit. Their
descendants are all Goyim who don't even know of
their Jewish heritage.
The only Maskilim descendants who are still Yidden
today are the Zionist Maskilim who made Aliyah &
live in Eretz Yisroel.
An emotional event was held in Bnei Brak to commemorate Yom Hazikaron on Monday evening
The ceremony to observe ‘Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of the Wars of Israel and Victims of Actions of Terrorism’ was held in memory of the 413 fallen residents of the city.
The large crowd of attendees included bereaved families, Mayor Avraham Rubinstein, rabbis, and many local residents.
The event was also attended by Ariel Yehezkel, a young child who survived the terror attack in Bnei Brak about a year ago. His father, Avishai HY”D, was murdered in the attack as he was protecting his son with his body.
Describing the story of young Ariel, Mayor Rubinstein said, “Ariel Yehezkel is celebrating his third birthday today – Upsherin without a father.”
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the crowd rose for the singing of Hatikvah, a true demonstration of unity.
