Righteous and evil to him. The morning of Rosh Chodesh Iyar found the faces of the people in the 'Brachfeld' neighborhood in Modi'in Illit - hunched, sad, beaten. The 9-year-old girl, Rivka Ben Khalifa, daughter of my friend the tzaddik Rabbi Yosef, returned to her senses, after a week of fighting for her life in the hospital.
At the exact same time that the death of the pure girl was announced, the funeral of my uncle, Rabbi Yosef Hiun, 52, the chief cantor of the Freiburg community in Germany, was taking place., Who drowned in the river a few days ago. The God-fearing uncle left behind five children, elderly parents, and five siblings. His wife passed away in her sleep several years ago.
What do we think after such terrible tragedies? What do we say to the thousands of children in the neighborhood who burst into tears when they learned that the girl from the house next door, for whom they had prayed so much, would never return? What about the uncle's five children, none of whom are yet married? How do we deal with questions of faith that loom, nag, and give us no rest?

Please, say enough to our troubles, and these will be the last public sacrifices.
The Dybbuk, now the law. Levi and Cohen are neighbors in the same building, and they have a son and a daughter. Cohen's daughter found favor in the eyes of Levi and his wife, and Levi's son found favor in the eyes of Cohen and his wife, until they decided that when they grew up they would marry each other, and they were not satisfied until they swore and stuck their tongues. Truly the 'dybbuk' of the twenty-first century.
And now the children have grown up, and Levi's son refuses to marry the Cohen's daughter, and she also does not find the knight of her dreams in the neighbor's son, but the parents refuse to let go and in the background stands the oath that they rushed to take. And the halacha? The great posk Rabbi Elyashiv was called upon to rule and ruled that parents do not have the power to swear oaths of this type in everything related to their children. Now that they have sworn, they are obligated, on their part, to influence their descendants to marry each other, but if they are unsuccessful, they are absolved of their oath.
An oath is a subjective institution, do you swear? Make sure to fulfill your commitment, do not include innocent people who did not ask for it.
Satirist in Parliament. It was recently reported in the general media that entertainers Kobi Arieli and Didi Harari wrote the jokes for Netanyahu in advance of his appearance on the program "State of the Nation" last month.
The wonderful integration between the entertainers and the intellectuals and intellectuals G. Alfi and A. Banai was fulfilled, but one puzzle still remains unresolved: Why was the clown Uri Auerbach absent, why didn't he participate in the celebration of writing? Wouldn't he have found his natural place among the magical group?
But then I remembered, he was singing for something in the government. He bet correctly and at the right time on Naftali Bennett.
disbelieve.
