Iranian Shabbos Goy

The Iranian matriculation exams schedule lands on a Saturday this year. While I am surprised this can happen because in the Western world Saturday is not a school day, I guess in Iran it happens. Behadrei is reporting that the matriculation exams on Saturday presents a serious problem for Jewish students. There may not be that many, but they need to be able to sit their exams as well... The Tehran Jewish Committee has worked with the Iranian Ministry of Education to find a solution, and they did!. the solution is basically to use a "Shabbos Goy".


The announcement made by the committee says that all Jewish students in all the cities of our beloved homeland Iran are able to request assistance from the secretary during the exams on Shabbos. There will be people available appointed by the schools to assist the Jewish students on writing the exams. There will be no cost involved and no authorization letter will be needed - just request it and a goy will be provided. Any Jewish students who might wish to avail themselves of this service should request it in advance from the school administration so the appropriate number of goys available can be arranged.

Obviously they will not help with supplying the answers but to accomplish the writing task, the schools will have shabbos goys available for any Jewish students that need one.

Quote of the Day

For once be flexible and finally understand the gravity of the moment and the tragedy that is approaching... what would you like to happen? people killing each other? murder in the streets? it is time that you get over yourselves and look at what is happenign out in the field. Where have we gotten? We have gotten to a point where a yeshiva bochur learning Torah in the State of Israel. the Jewish State, is afraid to go out into the streets and needs to dress up in a different way out of concern fort being arrested...

  -- MK Yinon Azulai (Shas), directing his ire at the team of the Attorney General and went on to say that the aggressive arrests and enforcement are not achieving their goals but are creating the opposite effect of locking the Haredi community down even more as they circle the wagons to oppose it and it raises the antagonism in the Haredi community towards the State and the IDF...

He is right, but it takes two to tango. The reps of the Haredi community have also not been flexible. They also need to look at what is happening, recognize the gravity of the moment, and be flexible. Maybe if both sides show a little bit of flexibility perhaps we can come to a reasonable resolution.

Facebook Status of the Day




My translation:
I just heard about the new shameful incident of a rav that say "yimach shemo" - his name should be blotted out - about the IDF Chief of Staff.
I heard from my father many times about a gathering of rabbomnnim in the home of the Chazon Ish in which the name of a government Minister was mentioned and one of the rabbis muttered from under his moustache "yemach shemo"...
The Chazon Ish asked: if that minister would die without having had any children, would his wife be obligated in yibum, marrying the brother of the deceased? 
The rabbi responded, definitely, as even a mumar (an apostate) is obligated in yibum!
So why is his wife obligated in yibum? Because the Torah says "so that his name should not be wiped out from Israel".. the Torah is concerned that the name of each Jew should not be blotted out, even an apostate, so how can you say "yemach shemo" about any Jew?!

Wow, what a story!

Quote of the Day



the day will come when we'll turn the country upside down, but that's at a later stage. The entire land like a bonfire. Do you think they'll make slaves and servants out of us? The moment will come when everyone will go out to protests across the entire country. We'll take the prisons and turn them into yeshivas

  -- MK Ytzchak Goldknopf, in advance of the Haredi car protest
