I really appreciate the results from soccer.  I am wondering where you got them from, and if you think I would have a chance to get them myself here in California.  If not I will just rely on people like yourself who are kind enough to give this information.

Thank you

P.S.  I am quite surprised that Dinamo has kept it's name. I thought they changed it after the 1989 revolution.  Or are we going back to the old rules?

As much as I disliked ( and dislike ) their sponsor, it is like this:

After Dec.89 Dinamo actually did changed it's name to Unirea Tricolor, which,
as far as I know, was the club's name before it became up into 
the late 40ies or early 50ies. 

Since Dinamo was engaged in some UEFA competion, the name-change ment
automatic exclusion ( as it became another club ). So in a short time,
a matter of weeks or a month at most, Unirea Tricolor became Dinamo
again.

Their sponsors changed their name from Militie to Politie, but how
important is the name ? Many institutions changed their name, but
this in itself means nothing. There are other changes ( including
names or not ) for which we are waiting.

What I am about to say will probably make people think I spent way too
much time in Berkeley; and other things as well. But: the coterie that
governed Romania for the past 20 years is firmly entrenched at the
control panel. They helped ex-USSR and good ole USA get rid of Ceausescu.
In exchange for a chance to stay in power, of course. I am afraid their
gamble has paid off; Eagleberger's visit to Bucharest I interpreted as:
"OK, Iliescu; if you win again the elections you're fine with us... we'
ll resume business as usual." Now the French in their passe idealism
may think otherwise; but who cares about the French anymore? As for
the Germans and the Russians the only want to do business and nothing 
else; the Russians even LIKE Iliescu, who matured into an "intellectual"
in Leningrad/St.Petersburg. Iliescu will most likely win; he does not have
the right approach to the Hungarian minority issue and has no clue
about the economy other than an amalagam of Marx/Engels/Lenin quotes.
The Democratic Alliance managed to nominate this guy who was Propaganda
Secretary (of the local Communist Party cell) at the University of
Bucharest. As a former party member myself I KNOW that positions such as
Mr. Constantinescu held are subject to NOMINATION FROM ABOVE rather that
ELECTION FROM BELOW..He may just be another Radu Cimpeanu, a Securitate
officer with a mission.
The Alliance could have nominated Mr.Manolescu, whose only sin was that he
has been a CIA informer, which in that context of 10 years ago I consider
rather an asset...
Let's just hope that Mr.Iliescu, if elected will see light..

Cheers!

	I never heared the term 'GALOT' used when talking about
ERETZ YISRAEL or the state of Israel. When we say 'GALOT' we 
mean the GALOT of the Jews, so when a jew comes home to Israel
he leaves the GALOT.

I've just returned from a visit to Schenectady N.Y. and the Rabbi of
the Orthodox Shul (Congegation Beth Israel) told me that he was asked
by his members to say Kaddish if no-one else was saying it. He balked
at this as, Boruch Hashem, both his parents are still alive, and one
should not say Kaddish in such circumstances without one's parents'
express permission.

BTW, the Art Scroll Siddur quotes the Halochoh that someone should
say Kaddish after Oleinu, even if there are no Aveilim.

Since when is blowing Shofar during Elul a mitzvah? One does not make
a bracha, there is no *required* shiur. What mitzvah is involved with
taking a palm branch in elul and waving it? Just performing the act is not
Bal Toseif.

It seems clear from the Talmudic writings about Yom Kippur that, in the days
of the Temple, there was joy and gladness after the High Priest came out of
the Holy of Holies.  That there was dancing in the streets, and betrothals
were announced, is also in these old writings.  

It seems from these accounts, which seem to be reasonably accurate historical
statements, that Yom Kippur was not grim.  The prophets also do not stress
that "afflicting our souls" means suffering; indeed, they indicate that 
suffering is not the purpose, and that the results of the fasting are what
count.   "Is this not the fast that I have chosen?"  This is followed with
what should happen the rest of the year.  We still say, "Have an easy fast." 
Also, this is the "white fast," jewelry is completely appropriate.

This is most likely a mistake. We all know the saing that there weren't 
happier days in Israel then YOM KIPUR and 15 of AV etc. But since it's
very unlikely that fasting girls will go dancing and boys that shuold be 
davening would go there too. BTW I'd say that most wineyards would be out
of TCHUM SHABAT, so even on a reguler SHABAT it would be imposible.
