To be concerned about elementary security measures? We should never minimize them and must always pay close attention to the Torah's decree: Venishmartem me'od lenafshoteichem (Be very protective of your lives).The Arad Festival disaster, the Maccabiah disaster, the Carmel disaster, the Nahal Tzafit disaster, the Versailles disaster, and now the Meron disaster. They all remind us – at the price of our blood – to make sure we receive an engineer...

Among the machers signing on to the Yang Gang are Brooklyn state Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, City Councilman Kalman Yeger and a slew of prominent local rabbis.
