TYING UP LOOSE ENDS
R’ Ami Baram became a baal t’shuva while his wife did not. At first, he tried looking out for himself and formed a circle of couples in a similar situation. Then, he turned this into a successful organization. * “Hiskashrus” has arranged seminars for hundreds of mekuravim. In an interview with Beis Moshiach, R’ Ami Baram talks about couples and their problems, about difficulties and successes, and he has a message for shluchim about their role in guiding couples of varying religious commitments.

THREE VITAMINS: A, B, C - AHAVA, BITACHON, (SIMCHAS) CHAIM
The day a child moves from elementary school to high school is one of the most challenging. It’s a major transition from childhood to the demanding life of “bachur-hood.” It’s at this point that many parents make fateful mistakes. * How can a parent be sure that his child is registered in the yeshiva that is right for him? * Do parents know what is best for their child? * Are tutors an effective solution? * With the new school year around the corner, Beis Moshiach spoke with four mashpiim and mechanchim.

HISKASHRUS TO BRING MOSHIACH
By focusing on hiskashrus, the Rebbe’s promises are fulfilled. The Rebbe will fulfill the promises he made to each person, including the general promise that he made to the Jewish people at large, “Immediately to t’shuva brings to immediate redemption,” and he will lead us to Moshiach.

THE WHAT PARTICLE?
Physics is not what it used to be. “The spirit of G-d hovers over the waters” of physics. Modern physics has reached the point where they are really looking for the beginning of everything and the idea (maybe even the fear) that it might be G-d is always there.

WE WON’T FORGET AND WE WON’T FORGIVE!

Rabbi Sholom Dovber Wolpo, one of the leaders in the fight against the withdrawal and expulsion, was interviewed by Beis Moshiach soon after the churban took place.

HISTORY JUDGES THE SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE
It’s important to publicize the names of those people who spearheaded the disgraceful process of the Gush Katif expulsion. The public must know who was responsible for this colossal tragedy. It’s imperative that these people should not be permitted to guide the ship of state and that such a crime against the Jewish People should never be allowed to happen again.

THE “OLIVE JEW” AND THE “EGG JEW”
An egg is larger than an olive. If indeed it is praiseworthy to thank G-d for smaller amounts, the Torah should have reversed the order. It should have stated that we are deserving of favoritism because we bless G-d even when eating the amount of an egg, or even a smaller amount—the size of an olive. Instead, it says that we recite the Birkas HaMazon even if we eat an olive’s worth (the smaller amount) and even if we eat the size of an egg (the larger amount)!
