Read about Yaakov Moreshet and his Hilat Shoham investment fund in this article from Haaretz. What makes this investment fund special is that it only makes “halachic” investments: He wont invest in Jewish companies that work on Shabbat No investing in Jewis Car Rental companies that rent out cars on Shabbat No purchasing bonds from [...]

Miracle on the Boat from the Lebanon War
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
I saw this on this blog, as well as in an email that was sent to me: Rabbi Frand, at his weekly shiur (broadcast via satellite from Baltimore), told over the following incredible story. He related how he had received a letter this past week from a person involved in rabbanut in Israel. The Rabbi [...]

Although despite NBN’s best efforts, everything is not as neatly tied as it appears, (there is no music in real life, the actual ruach on the flights may not be what you expect and the soldiers might not be there) these videos are really great. I remember watching them every few months before making aliyah [...]

The Islamic Extremist Agenda
Sunday, November 26th, 2006
I just finished watching a 40 minute show (which is currently available on YouTube) by Glenn Beck called Exposed: The Extemist Agenda (originally aired on CNN). Its focus is to publicize the threats that are being posed to the world by extremist Islam. He takes care to make it clear that this is not representative [...]

Torah Van

Quick Only-In-Israel story that happened tonight: there is a hachnassat Sefer Torah (dedication and completion of a new Torah scroll) tonight at one of the shuls on the yishuv. I had seen some announcements and flyers up over the past week, but wasn’t planning on attending. Still, around 5pm I started to hear some music [...]

Insults to Zionist Jews at the OU Conference
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006
Last night was the official opening of the OU‘s biennial conference, which is being held in Jerusalem for the second time ever. I saw the schedule in last week’s Torah Tidbits: they had a pre-conference Yarchei Kallah learning program, and the range of speakers and honorees was quite impressive. Except for one name that is: [...]

Gone and Back

My webhost company decided to move all of the websites to new servers…and then messed it up. So the site was down for a couple of days and I have now moved to a better hosting service where there will hopefully not be the same issues. Luckily I have a month-old backup of the database, [...]
