Recipient: Zev Gluskin, the head of Carmel Wine and the Organization of Wine Producers.
Body: It is very unpleasant for me, but I am compelled to speak briefly about that which happened to Mr. Z.G. (by chance the same initials as the addressee). Any attempt to [allow a defendant to] run away from the laws of Israel in the Land of Israel, when he is aided by formal helpers from among the public attorneys, will always remind me of the bringing of Pompey to the gates of Jerusalem by two litigants, Hurkenus and Aristobolus. How damaging was that litigation!

Of course, my complaint relates to the people who are overjoyed to involve themselves in the litigation of the aforementioned Mr. G., and have troubled themselves to remove it from the framework of our holy Torah. It is so upsetting to me that they are supported by our distinguished Organization of Wine Producers.
Mr. G. said that he would accept even a panel chosen by zabla (each litigant picks one dayan and those dayanim choose a third dayan), just that he wants that the third, central dayan should be a Torah scholar, one who has familiarity with the judgment of the Torah. Is this a travesty?! Is the Torah so despised that it "can’t even be served for dessert" (based on Petichta, Eicha Rabba 10)!? If even this is not acceptable to the other side, and my rebuke will be treated like a voice that calls out in the desert, at least the two sides should choose the two sides for a panel of zabla to decide who will be the central dayan for the panel, and the decision of that preliminary panel should be followed.
I know that you, my honored friend, are not involved in this matter, but I have no one else to speak to that there is a chance that people will listen to; only you are the one who might be able to help.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
