And the Sale to End All Sales

Riding alongside the giveaway is the fifth and final week of ArtScroll’s massive 50th anniversary sale, and it may be the strongest week yet. Fifty sefarim and titles are marked down to their lowest prices ever, all at 50% off, and once this week closes, these prices are gone for good.

The headline of the week is the Complete ArtScroll Digital Library, an entire home library of Torah content available as a digital download for $499.99, or preloaded onto a brand new iPad or iPad mini complete with a custom leather cover. The library includes the full Schottenstein English and Hebrew Talmud, the Ryzman Hebrew Mishnayos, the Jaffa Edition Tanach, the Kleinman Edition Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, both Smart Siddurim, the complete Hebrew Rambam, and much more, all in one place.

Also flying off the virtual shelves is the Czuker Edition Hebrew Chumash Mikra’os Gedolos, a 52 volume personal size paperback set, now just $67.49. That works out to about a dollar thirty per volume, the lowest price this set has ever seen.

Families will want to grab the ArtScroll Children’s Siddur at $9.99, while those looking to build out their shelves can find the Student Size Sefer Zera Shimshon 10 volume set at $159.99, along with dozens of other titles across hashkafa, halacha, and children’s books, all deeply discounted.

In previous weeks, the featured items sold out fast. With this being the last week of the sale, there won’t be a second chance.

A senior figure in United Torah Judaism reportedly proposed orchestrating a public confrontation with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in an effort to benefit both the Chareidi parties and Likud politically, according to political analyst Amit Segal.

Speaking Sunday following Netanyahu’s unusual remarks on the draft law, Segal revealed that an extraordinary conversation took place several weeks ago between high-ranking officials from United Torah Judaism and Likud.

According to Segal, “A few weeks ago, a very, very senior figure in United Torah Judaism approached a very, very senior figure in Likud and told him, ‘Let’s fight. It will help you, (it’s obvious why), but it will help us too.'”

Segal said the proposal stemmed from growing dissatisfaction within the Chareidi public over the political performance of its elected representatives. He argued that this frustration is one of the main reasons many recent polls show Chareidi parties losing support ahead of the next Knesset election.

Referring to the political mood in the Chareidi community, Segal said, “Among the Chareidim, one of the reasons you see in most polls that their representation is declining ahead of the next Knesset is because many people in the Chareidi street are convinced that their members of Knesset have disappointed them.”

He said that disappointment has been fueled by government policies affecting municipal property taxes, daycare funding, and housing, adding, “Therefore, such a war is also good for United Torah Judaism.”

Segal concluded by noting that he does not know how Likud responded to the proposal but suggested that recent developments may indicate a shift in strategy. “I don’t know what Likud’s response was, but today you can already see Netanyahu changing direction and saying there will not be a second law freezing arrests.”
