Interesting Recent Links - Rosh Hashana/Ha'azinu 5774

Sorry for the length. Too many interesting things to share and not enough time this week to share them.

Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlit"a is back in the hospital again with severe pains and is in intensive care. Please pray for Rav Ovadia Yosef Ben Gorgia. Gedolim and Admorim are asking the public to pray for him. There were even prayers for him in Uman. (He did manage to give a Shiur while he was released.)


Kikar - El Al plane lands in Athens due to someone smoking in the bathroom, everyone departs, one passenger had chest pains and was taken to the hospital. If the plane would have continued, the passenger may not have made it. A Seudat Hoda'a was made.

Kikar - R' Nir Ben Artzi: King Mashiah was coronated in Shamayim. See translation at Geula Messages.

Kikar - Rav Shteinman: The Torah Learning of Rav Elyashiv ZT"L Prevented Harsh Decrees. See also Matzav.

(YY - Amazingly, I saw the following article mere seconds after seeing the previous one on Kikar. Link and boldface added by me.)

Dixie Yid - Rav Moshe Weinberger's Shoftim Drasha - The Best Kiruv Tool
The Gemara (Moed Katan 25b) illustrates this reality by recounting how, after the Amora Rabbi Elyashiv passed onto the next world, there were seventy burglaries in his town of Neharda. Rashi explains that until that time, Rabbi Elyashiv's merit prevented people from committing acts of theft. As long as Rabbi Elyashiv was alive, the power of his holiness prevented at least seventy criminals from carrying out the types of crimes they normally committed. We see that when even one Jew lives according to Hashem's will, it "remove[es] the innocent blood from among" the Jewish people. The Jewish people become better and there is less murder, bullying, and hatred.
