An Interview with Rav Sholom Stern – Roshe Kollel of Kollel HashutfimSpeaking to Rav Sholom Hillel Stern, one feels ensconced in the Yerushalayim Shel Maalah of the Shaarei Chesed neighborhood where he grew up. Gems and pearls of Yerushalmi vertlach freely flow off his tongue. For every issue discusses, he has an anecdote, a vort, or an insight, all said with the humility and chein characteristic of the generations of Yerushalmim from whom he descends.
Rav Sholom spent time regaling us with stories of his ancestors who were among the founders of the Shaarei Chesed neighborhood, as well as the gedolei olam whom he merited to meet and learn from. He also took time to share his thoughts on some of the burning issues transpiring today in Eretz Yisroel.

The Republican presidential primary campaign is finally settling down into an orderly political process performing as designed, testing each candidate’s strengths and exposing their weaknesses, while challenging the best of the contenders to learn from their mistakes and emerge more seasoned and effective. After a chaotic six months in which every week seemed to usher in an exciting new potential frontrunner, followed by their embarrassing and unexpectedly sudden demise, the first four statewide primaries and caucuses in January succeeded in whittling down the large field to just four survivors, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, each with their own distinctive constituency, personality and mission.

After 5 sessions of low level peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority hosted in Amman by Jordan’s King Abdullah, the Palestinians are making noises about walking away because of Israel’s refusal to meet the preconditions demanded by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The talks were proposed last October by the Quartet US, UN, EU and Russia) after the failure of the PA attempt to win membership in the UN, as an alternative way for Palestinians to achieve statehood while implementing the two-state solution with Israel.

Wednesday last week, there was drama in the Knesset when MK Yisroel Eichler interrupted a caustic speech of Opposition Leader, Tzipi Livni (Kadima), by yelling out, “You are an enemy!” He was expelled from the Knesset plenum. In protest, all the members of United Torah Judaism rose from their seats and staged a unified walkout.
Livni’s hate filled speech was fueled by two controversial issues, one, the attempt of Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu, to extend the Tal Law meant to facilitate the entry of yeshiva students into army service and the work force, and the other, MK Ariel Attias’ unveiling of a new plan to provide cheaper housing for Israel’s less affluent population. Livni, no lover of the Torah public since her failure to include UTJ in a governing coalition after Israel’s last elections, regarded both issues as grossly biased in favor of the chareidi sector.
