Reb Moishe Feinsteins Vort On Parshas Bechokoisai (Toras Abba) Last year an older man came to speak in the shul i daven in He said shortly after the war he saw a sign that Reb Moishe was speaking in a shul on the Lower East Side Of New York. The purpose of the speech was to give chizuk to holocaust survivors who recently immigrated to New York. Reb Moishe asked: Why is the Parsha of Eiruchin right after the Toichocho? What does Eiruchin have to do with the Toichocho. Reb Moishe Zatzal Answered:
 "Oib Mir Vill Shatzen Op A Yid Darf Min zen vu er halt noch er geit durch a toichecho"

אִם בְּחֻקֹּתַי תֵּלֵכוּ...וְנָתַתִּי שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ וּשְכַבְתֶּם וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד...וְחֶרֶב לֹא תַעֲבֹר בְּאַרְצְכֶם. וּרְדַפְתֶּם אֶת אֹיְבֵיכֶם וְנָפְלוּ לִפְנֵיכֶם לֶחָרֶב. וּפָנִיתִי אֲלֵיכֶם וְהִפְרֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם וְהִרבֵּיתי אֶתכֶם...וָאוֹלֵךְ אֶתכֶם קוֹמְמִיּוּת

Acceptence Letters sent out For Girls High School In Lakewood

Acceptance letters for Lakewood girls high school were mailed out this week. Among the schools who sent letters are Oros, Bais Kayla, Shiras Devorah and others. Some girls were accepted and placed into a school  they have not applied to.  Initially the vaad recommends that girls going to 9th grade apply to 4 schools hoping to be accepted into one of them. They are hoping to avoid the yearly shame of starting school while there are still girls not accepted at all to a school or those placed in one that's suitable for them. Ther are still many girls who were not accepted and schools are waiting for girls who were accepted into multiple schools to decide thus freeing up slots for the others.

Israel Dissolves Knesset and heads to Elections

The Israeli gov't will have its first back to back elections after prime minister Netanyahu failed to form a coalition. The date for new elections is 17 Elul/ September 17 2019. The knesset voted to dissolve with a majority of 74 - 45.
Negotiations went down to the wire with charedi parties offering to compromise on the Giyus Law. Degel Hatorah faction of UTJ and the Shas party joined  together without the Agudah party by fully accepting the current Giyus law as is in an attempt to appease and form a coalition.

All proposals were rejected by Lieberman and the 21st Knesset voted to dissolve itself.
Prime minister Netanyahu lashed out at Lieberman saying he took the country twice to elections in 8 months only becsuse he wanted more mandates he is now part of the left.
MK Litzman said it was not the Giyus law that bothered lieberman he instead used it as a excuse and stirred charedi hatred to get his way.

Uneven Retail Environment in Lakewood Poses Challenges
Article from  KosherToday.com- Lakewood NJ…by KT Staff Reporters
It was Wednesday evening, the first of the three-day pre-Shabbat shopping period in this growing hub for kosher foods. Yet, while some of the large independent stores were “busy,” others weren’t leaving some in the kosher food industry to wonder why. The magnificently mega Bingo store was virtually deserted leading some to speculate that the club-like kosher store was underachieving here compared to its pilot store in Boro Park. When Bingo first opened, Kosher Today reported that some local stores lost as much as 25% of their business. Most retailers in the area believe that as time went on, it was reduced to less than half (10%-12%), particularly on the eve of major holidays like Passover.

Located on Route 70 near such stores as Costco and Home Depot, the Israeli-style super store (Bingo is affiliated with the Osher Ad chain in Israel) has not yet captivated the Lakewood market. One kosher food industry veteran speculated that the location may not be as convenient for Lakewooders as was thought. In fact, Miriam, shopping with her husband in the extremely crowded Gourmet Glatt, said: “It’s a shlep for me since I live on the other side of town.” She also said that she liked the

Agudah Moetzes Agrees to Compromise on Giyus Law, Lieberman rejects it, New elections likely

YERUSHALAYIM - Hamodia.com The Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudas Yisrael in EY met today and agreed to a compromise on the draft law offered by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, while Yisrael Beyteynu leader Avigdor Leiberman refused to back down on his demands making new elections appear inevitable.

“This evening, invitations to personal meetings with the prime minister, as well as the announcement from the Moetzet, were released a mere 10 minutes before the evening editions were scheduled to go to print,” a press release from Yisrael Beyteynu announced. “This is seen as a multi-pronged move to lay the blame for any collapse [of coalition talks] and return to new elections on MK Leiberman and Yisrael Beyteynu.
