Re: The Israel Center and Torah Tidbits
NOTICE: The OU Israel Center and Torah Tidbits do not necessarily endorse the political or halachic opinions of its advertisers, nor to we guarantee their quality of service.

The Jewish people in general, and OU/NCSY in particular, mourn the loss of a giant of a man, HaRav Nachman Bulman, zt"l; Rav Bulman blazed many trails in his life, including his rabbinical service to far-flung communities; his numerous contributions to kiruv, most notably through NCSY and Ohr Sameach; and his contributions to Jewish thought and Torah scholarship. He was an original thinker and writer of the highest order. His personal warmth was matched by his powerful intellect, and he made a mark on all who knew him. His demise is a tragic loss for our already orphaned generation. YEHI ZICHRO BARUCH - From the OU website, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb writing about the loss of a close friend.

This and That...
You might not know this, but Torah Tidbits is not written and prepared for printing in order. I wonder sometimes if readers can tell what was done early and what was done later. FYI, these paragraphs are the last of TT for this week.

So let me take care of a few last minute items. The DM & MM/Bklyn brothers both did well with the TTriddles, but we stand by the declaration of YYW as this week’s winner.

We had no room for pages of great bargains offered by the Yair Landau Memorial Library of the OU Israel Center. Books and Torah tapes are being offered at a fraction of their original prices. Don’t even wait for next week’s TT for the details (assuming we’ll have room), because the “goods” might be sold out by them.

JL (proofreader) - thanks for catching that typo. We never noticed. It’s only been in for the last 16 weeks. Hopefully, it will be corrected for the next issue. (I just changed if for next week.)

Apologies to DRBD for omitting his minyan announcements. Just oversights. Not intended.
