A great-grandson of the legendary Alter of Slobodan, he continued in the Altar's tradition of serious study of Talmud combined with an emphasis on the teachings of the Mussar movement. Rav Nosson Tzvi presided over the growth of the Mirrer Yeshiva into the largest yeshiva in Israel, with an enrollment of approximately 6,000 students, many of them American and Canadian. Read Article 2) Posted Nov 09 2011 The United States And Menachem Zivotofsky By Editorial Board As is being widely reported, microphones accidentally left on at the G20 meeting last week picked up some rather interesting private remarks between President Barak Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. After facing reporters in a formal press conference, the two presidents went to a private room to discuss other matters. Their conversation apparently began with President Obama's rebuking Mr. Sarkozy for not having alerted him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinians' bid for membership in UNESCO, despite the U.S.'s well-known objection. Read Article 3) Posted Nov 02 2011 About That 'Israel Unity Pledge' By Editorial Board Last week the Anti Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee circulated a proposed "unity pledge" for American Jews which, according to a press release, was designed "to encourage other national organizations, elected officials, religious leaders, community groups and individuals to rally around bipartisan support for Israel while preventing the Jewish state from becoming a wedge issue in the upcoming campaign season." Read Article 4) Posted Nov 02 2011 The UNESCO Fiasco By Editorial Board With surprising swiftness, almost immediately after UNESCO granted full membership to the Palestinian Authority on Monday, the United States announced it was cutting off all funding to the UN's major cultural agency. Read Article 5) Posted Oct 26 2011 Troubling Signs In Zuccotti Park By Editorial Board There is an element in the Occupy Wall Street movement that should concern the Jewish community. It is not that this so-called people's protest against alleged corporate greed and banking industry excess has become defined by several anti-Semitic signs in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park and some movement-related videos that have surfaced. It hasn't. Read Article 6) Posted Oct 26 2011 A Shameful Spin On The Shalit Deal By Editorial Board We have come to expect The New York Times to seize almost any opportunity to peddle its view that Israel is the real impediment to peace in the Middle East. This time the Times outdid itself with a bizarre spin on the Gilad Shalit release. This from an editorial last week: Read Article 7) Posted Oct 18 2011 Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky, A"H By Editorial Board The Jewish Press joins Klal Yisrael in mourning the passing of Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky at age 79. She was the wife of Rav Chaim Kanievsky and daughter of Rav Yoseph Shalom Eliashiv, foremost Torah personalities of our time. Read Article 8) Posted Oct 18 2011 The Deal For Gilad Shalit By Editorial Board It is certainly not surprising that the announced deal to release more than a thousand convicted Palestinian terrorists in return for the release of the kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit has triggered fierce debate throughout Israel and the Jewish world. Read Article 9) Posted Oct 18 2011 The Quartet, The Palestinians And The UN By Editorial Board The recent statement of the Middle East Quartet (The U.S., the UN, Russia and the European Union) calling for the prompt resumption of talks between Israel and the Palestinians confirms that it is prepared - at least for now - to directly confront Palestinian attempts to avoid direct negotiations with Israel head on and without blinking. Read Article 10) Posted Oct 16 2011 Where Do The Republican Candidates Stand On Pollard? By Editorial Board Though we can never lose sight of the fact that Jonathan Pollard, the person, is languishing in federal prison, his plight must be seen as something well beyond a personal tragedy. It is that, to be sure - but it as also an indicator of double standards and anti-Israel animus in at least some precincts of the nation's defense and intelligence bureaucracies. Read Article 11) Posted Oct 05 2011 Ed Koch's Amazing Turnaround By Editorial Board So former mayor Ed Koch has changed his mind after hearing President Obama's speech to the UN General Assembly last week and will back him for reelection after all. Read Article 12) Posted Oct 05 2011 The Vice President And Jonathan Pollard By Editorial Board We were intrigued by a report in The New York Times last week about a recent meeting Vice President Joe Biden held with fifteen rabbis in Boca Raton, Florida. When asked by one of the rabbis why Jonathan Pollard, convicted of spying for Israel in 1986, was still in jail, Mr. Biden replied: "President Obama was considering clemency, but I told him, 'Over my dead body we are going to let him out before his time.' If it were up to me, he would stay in jail for life." Read Article 13) Posted Sep 27 2011 Obama, The Palestinians, And The UN By Editorial Board Although Obama administration officials have said for months that the U.S. is opposed to and will in fact work against the Palestinian effort to seek UN recognition of a Palestinian state, President Obama's statement to that effect to the UN General Assembly last week was dramatic nonetheless. Read Article 14) Posted Sep 21 2011 Congressman Bob Turner By Editorial Board We congratulate Bob Turner on his solid victory last week and wish him well as the new representative from New York's 9th Congressional District. His election is noteworthy not only for the skills he brings to his new assignment but also for the great amount of media attention his successful run for office drew and the symbolic importance many have attached to it. Read Article 15) Posted Sep 21 2011 The President Reaps What He Sowed By Editorial Board The Palestinian Authority's drive for UN recognition of a Palestinian state suggests that President Obama has some serious rethinking to do as to how best to pursue U.S. interests around the world. Read Article 16) Posted Sep 21 2011 A Devastating Ruling For Sholom Rubashkin By Editorial Board Last Friday, a federal appeals court turned down former Agriprocessors vice president Sholom Rubashkin's appeal of his conviction for bank fraud and his 27-year sentence. He will not get a new trial or have his sentence reconsidered. Read Article 17) Posted Sep 14 2011 A Weapon Against Palestinian Intransigence By Editorial Board One of the hallmarks of the decades-long effort to arrive at a negotiated settlement between Israel and the Palestinians has been the ongoing recalcitrance of the Palestinians. Yasir Arafat rejected Ehud Barak's extraordinarily generous offer of most of the West Bank, meticulously brokered by President Bill Clinton, and ten years later an American president is begging the Palestinians to accept an arrangement that is even more generous. Read Article 18) Posted Sep 14 2011 The Palmer Report By Editorial Board It was big news recently when a United Nations panel headed by New Zealand's Sir Geoffrey Palmer, over the vociferous objections of Turkey, actually agreed with Israel that Israel had the right to blockade Gaza in self-defense against the depredations emanating from that Hamas enclave and also to interdict ships trying to break the blockade. Read Article 19) Posted Sep 07 2011 Remembering 9/11 By Editorial Board We join our fellow Americans in marking the deaths of those who perished on September 11, 2001 at the hands of murderous al Qaeda terrorists. Each of the fallen is a compelling story in his or her own right and the continuing anguish of the families still grips our collective psyche.
