Hezbollah Set Up Bases in Mexico
A terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has established another home base across the border in Mexico. Some of the group's bombings include the U.S. embassy in Beirut and Israeli embassy in Argentina.However, the group is now active much closer to San Diego."We are looking at 15 or 20 years that Hezbollah has been setting up shop in Mexico," the agent told 10News.Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, U.S. policy has focused on al-Qaida and its offshoots."They are more shooters than thinkers … it's a lot of muscles, courage, desire but not a lot of training," the agent said, referring to al-Qaida.Hezbollah, he said, is far more advanced."Their operators are far more skilled … they are the equals of Russians, Chinese or Cubans," he said. "I consider Hezbollah much more dangerous in that sense because of strategic thinking; they think more long-term." According to the agent, the organization sees the U.S. as their "cash cow," with illegal drug and immigration operations. Many senior Hezbollah leaders are wealthy businessmen, the agent said."The money they are sending back to Lebanon is too important right now to jeopardize those operations," he said.The agent said the real concern is the group's long-term goal of radicalizing Muslim communities."They're focusing on developing … infiltrating communities within North America," the agent told 10News.

Halacha Story of The Week: Which Pizza Shop?
From The Business Halacha Institute
The Pfiefer family had finally finished putting away their Pesach dishes. “Thanks for all the help,” Mrs. Pfeifer said to her family.
“How about ordering pizza as a treat?” suggested the children.
“I think you deserve it,” said Mrs. Pfiefer. She turned to her husband. “Pinchas, could you please call the pizza store and ask them to deliver two pizzas?”
Mr. Pfeifer dialed the pizza store. “I’d like to order two pies with olive topping,” he said.
“When would you like it?” asked the man in the pizza store.
“In fifteen minutes,” said Mr. Pfiefer.
“You’ll come pick it up?” asked the man.
“No, I’d like it delivered,” said Mr. Pfeifer. “I don’t have a car available.”
“Give me your address and phone number,” said the man.
Mr. Pfeifer gave his information.
“We are extremely busy now,” said the man, “so I can’t promise delivery. I’ll send it if a delivery boy becomes available.”
“How will I know--” Mr. Pfeifer began to say, but the man had already hung up.
“Abba, will they bring the pizza?” asked the children.
“I’m not sure,” replied Mr. Pfiefer. “They couldn’t promise delivery; they’ll send it if someone becomes available.”
Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Pfeifer turned to her husband. “Pinchas, the kids need to eat. We can’t wait half an hour to find out that they can’t deliver, and then order from elsewhere,” she said.
Mr. Pfiefer tried calling the store, but the line was busy. After a few more unsuccessful tries, he exclaimed, “It’s a wonder I got through the first time. All I get now is busy, busy, busy…”
After half an hour, Mrs. Pfeifer said, “This is ridiculous. We still don’t know if they will be able to deliver the pizza. Try one more time, and if they don’t answer, we’ll have to order from the other store.”
Mr. Pfeifer tried again, but the phone was still busy. “That’s it,” Mrs. Pfeifer declared. “We can’t wait any longer. Please call the other store.”
Mr. Pfiefer called the other pizza shop. “I’d like pizza delivered,” he said. “Can you bring it in ten minutes?”
“Sure,” said the man. “What would you like to order?”
“Two pizzas with olive topping,” Mr. Pfeifer said. He gave his address.
Ten minutes later, one of the kids called out excitedly, “The pizza scooter’s here!”
The doorbell rang. Mr. Pfeifer went to the door and saw the delivery boy from the first pizza store! “Sorry for the delay,” said the delivery boy. “We’ve been extremely busy.”
Mr. Pfeifer stood there dumbfounded, deliberating what to do. Meanwhile a second scooter arrived. “Here’s your pizza order,” said the second delivery boy, eyeing the first scooter with suspicion.
“Hold on a second,” said Mr. Pfiefer. “I’m going to get money.” He entered the house, whipped out his cell phone, and called Rabbi Tzedek. He quickly explained what had happened and asked, “Do I buy the first pizzas, the second pizzas, or do I have to take all?”
Rabbi Tzedek ruled: “You are not required to accept the pizza from the first store, even if it was a special order.”
After Mr. Pfeifer dealt with the delivery boys, Rabbi Tzedek explained, “If a person places an order to make pizza and then buys from elsewhere, he is obligated to cover the store’s loss if they cannot sell the pizza to another customer. If they can sell it to another customer, he is not legally obligated (Choshen Mishpat 333:8). Nonetheless, there is a moral obligation not to cancel an order unnecessarily (C. M. 204:7).
“However, all this applies when the order is concluded. A person is under no moral obligation to honor an agreement to purchase if the price hasn’t been settled yet (C.M. 204:6). Presumably, this applies also if other terms of the sale haven’t been finalized (Pischei Choshen, Kinyanim 1:2).
“In this case, you explicitly stated that you could not pick up the pizza; you placed the order on condition that it would be delivered. Since the pizza store could not commit to delivering it, the order is not considered to be concluded. The store should have called to notify you that they could deliver the pizza and to confirm the order.
“Furthermore, even had the store committed to deliver the pizza from the beginning, if the delivery was delayed significantly, you are entitled to order from elsewhere and cancel the first order [see Pischei Choshen, Sechirus 10(5)].”

Is Princess Kate Middleton Jewish?
 |
| Jew or Not A Jew? |
Source: Life In Israel
Princess Kate Middleton, or whatever her last name is now (Windsor?), might one day become the Queen of England. That is, if she should remain married to Prince William and should he one day actually ascend the throne and become king.
Ladaat.net has a analyzed Middleton's family records, and has found on her mother's side of the family many Jewish names, leading them to conclude that there is a good chance that, even if she does not know it, Princess, and possibly future Queen of England, Kate Middleton might very well be Jewish.
I say we send some Chabadniks after her. Get her to start lighting candles and going to the Royal Mikveh. Maybe William will eventually convert. And then what? I don't know what having a Jewish Queen of England might do for us, but it probably cannot hurt too much.
I checked out some other websites, and there seems to be no definitive answer to the question "Is Kate Middleton Jewish?", but it seems almost definite that she has some Jewish ancestry.

New From Artscroll: Aleinu L'Shabei'ach - Bamidbar
Aleinu L'Shabei'ach - Bamidbar
Few contemporary books have had the impact that Aleinu L'Shabei'ach has had on the Torah world. Tens of thousands of copies have been read and re-read by a vast and varied group: Torah scholars and laymen, students and teachers, men and women. Based on the private writings, shiurim, and conversations with Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein, a son-in-law of Rav Elyashiv shlita, and a noted rav and posek in his own right, Aleinu L'Shabei'ach is a remarkable compendium of Torah wisdom, stories of great men, anecdotes, mussar, and insight into our daily lives and challenges.
Aleinu L'Shabei'ach includes a stunning range of stories, based on pesukim from each parashah. From the study halls of Europe to a rebbetzin's kitchen; from a road- rage attack in Bnei Brak to the Chasam Sofer's visit to the Queen of Austria; here are stories that both pique the imagination and bring us new understanding of the messages that the Torah has come to teach.
But Aleinu L'Shabei'ach is far more than a storybook. Its explanations of the verses are profound and yet readable, shedding new light on the meaning of each word of the Torah. Every story, every moral teaching, is infused with emunah and bitachon.
Every word of Aleinu L'Shabei'ach -- challenges us to become better, greater, deeper people, more in touch with Hashem's kindness to us, and more aware of His presence in our lives.

With the killing of the arch-terrorist Osama ben Laden, a talk by the Rebbe has come to light from this very date, which is eerily similar to the day's events. On the 28 of Nissan, 1990 the Rebbe gave an unexpected talk on a directive by the PLO to its international affiliates to "harm Jews around the world."
"The power of the Jewish People is in their mouths," the Rebbe proclaimed, calling on Jews around the world to give charity and study Torah in order to avert the decree.

28 Nissan & Osama Bin Laden
Obama: Al-Qaida Head Bin Laden Dead
28 of Nissan (today) exactly 20 years ago the Lubavitcher Rebbe used as a date to give a famous talk that changed his followers and left many in shock. The lubavitcher rebbe said" . “I have done everything I can [to bring Moshiach]; I hand it over to you—do everything that you can.” Tzaddikim have a foresight far greater then we realize. This date was connected 20 years ago already as a profund day connected with events of great impact. Only tonight was the world privy to realize what a special day it is. Not by coincidence sadam Husein was also captured on one of the most well known chassdic holidays: 19 Kislev (The Redemption of the Ball Hatanya From Prison). Let us not forget chasddic teachings are very tied in to kabbalaistic teachings. In kabllah everything means something from the date to the minute. Chassdic though would say events like happen not because of the past event, but rather from the creation of the world certain days were given a power and energy, and only certain tazadikim understand it. A prime example is Avraham who kept passover 400 years before his dependents were slaves in Egypt. The day was already spiritual it just needed events to make it physical and tangible to us. For the past 20 Years the chabad community had already marked this day as special. Now the world can do the same.
In an interesting twist, the deaths of both Osama Bin Laden, and Hitler were both announced on the same English date. Although maybe it is odd to be using the English calendar, Reb Levi Yitzcahk of Barditchev was once quoted as saying happy new year on January 1st. When questioned about it he responded: it's based on Kapitel 87 verse 6 in Tehillim where it says "Hashem Yispor Bichsov Amim.." "Hashem will count in the register of people..." the On May 1, 1945 (which was Lag Baomer That Year {Another Very Kabalistically connected day }) , the death of Hitler Y”MS was announced by the BBC as follows: “Adolf Hitler has been killed at the Reich Chancery in Berlin, according to Hamburg radio.

At 10:30 PM local time a newsreader announced that reports from the Fuhrer’s headquarters said Hitler had “fallen at his command post in the Reich Chancery fighting to the last breath against Bolshevism and for Germany”.
On May 1, 2011, the death of Osama Bin Laden was announced by President Obama: “Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.”

New From Feldheim: The Commentators' Shavuos
Of the three Yomim Tovim known as the ”Shalosh Regalim“, it seems that the least celebrated is the festival of Shavuos. Pesach is celebrated by eating matzah, drinking the four cups of wine, and holding an elaborate Seder. During Sukkos we sit in a Sukkah and take the lulav and esrog. On Shavuos, though there is neither a “special” food to eat nor a particular commemorative mitzvah to perform, the holiday is commemorated in other ways. During the time of the Beis Hamikdash, we commence bringing the annual Bikkurim offering to the Beis Hamikdash on Shavuos; we commemorate the yahrzeit of Dovid Hamelech; we offer the ‘Shtei Halechem’ bread on the Mizbeach.
This fascinating sefer illuminates a range of topics, giving the reader a deeper and broader appreciation for this Yom Tov.
Among the many issues illuminated are:
With its rich diversity of opinions and close study of the various themes of the holiday of Shavuous, Rabbi Sender once again demonstrates what has made the Commentators’ Series so popular and valued.
