“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l
A bride who was jilted by her groom at her wedding ended up marrying a guest at the wedding.
The bride, named Sindhu from the Bangalore region in India, was supposed to be marrying a man named Naveen. The ceremony was taking place on the same day as Naveen’s brother’s wedding so the families were holding them simultaneously.
The wedding was set for Sunday 3 January and the day before, Naveen and Sindhu participated in pre-wedding events such as posing for pictures and receiving greetings from guests. However when the wedding commenced the next day, Naveen was nowhere to be found. Local media reports claimed that Naveen had a secret girlfriend and fled the wedding to be with her since she had allegedly threatened to spoil the wedding by drinking poison in front of the guests.
Naveen’s brother, Ashok, went ahead with his marriage but then the families were left wondering where Naveen was and did not know how to continue.
Sindhu’s family members decided that she would still be able to wed if they could find an eligible person among the guests.
A Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) conductor, who was present at the wedding, volunteered to marry Sindhu if both the families agreed.
They all met, finalised the wedding vows and Sindhu still managed to get married at the wedding after all.

The ownership group for several talk radio hosts across the country, including syndicated figures like Mark Levin and Dan Bongino, says its personalities need to tone things down or face firing.
Cumulus Media content chief Brian Philips sent an email to managers Wednesday, the day of the U.S. Capitol riot, saying the company had to help induce calm.
“There will be no dog whistles about ‘stolen elections,’ ‘civil wars’ or any other language that infers violent public disobedience is warranted, ever,” said the memo, first reported by Inside Music Media.
The memo said Cumulus would not tolerate any suggestion by its on-air personalities that the presidential election is not over.
“Please inform your staffs that we have ZERO TOLERANCE for any suggestion otherwise,” Philips said in the memo.
The company did not immediately respond to an AP request for comment Monday.
Cumulus owns 416 radio stations in 86 markets across the country, along with the syndication arm Westwood One.

He was also videoed fighting with a local Jewish resident. Some media outlets dubbed him “The Sheikh of the Mountain.”

| Rabbi Asor |
A popular rabbi urged his followers not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, warning them that doing so, it might "turn them" into homosexuals.
Rabbi Daniel Asor's assertion goes against decrees issued by leading rabbis in Israel and around the world, who have called on ultra-Orthodox society to take every precaution against the global pandemic, including getting vaccinated.
The Haredi community has recorded extremely high morbidity rates due to repeated flouting of social distancing directives.
Asor, who has tens of thousands of followers on social media, is no stranger to controversy. In his latest online sermons, he argued that "any vaccine made using an embryonic substrate, and we have evidence of this, causes opposite tendencies. Vaccines are taken from an embryonic substrate, and they did that here, too, so ... it can cause opposite tendencies."

Good news for drivers. Effective October 1, 2021, drivers will be issued a driver’s license up to the age of 70, instead of having to renew their license every 10 years, as they do today.
This comes as part of a reform promoted by the Ministry of Transportation in Israel.
As part of the reform, the driver’s license currently issued to drivers of private vehicles, motorcycles and commercial vehicles up to 12 tons, will be valid until the age of 70, instead of its current 10-year listing.
After the age of 70, the license will be renewed every five years until the age of 80, after which the license will be renewed every two years as is already customary.
The cost of issuing a driver’s license up to the age of 70 will be NIS 510.
“This is a saving of about NIS 1,500 per driver,” said Transportation Minister Miri Regev. “This is besides the hassle required of drivers today to renew a driver’s license every 10 years, from the age of 24 to the age of 70.”
Regev noted that Israel joins many European countries where driving licenses are issued indefinitely or until the age of 70 without the need to renew the license.
“I am happy to implement significant decisions in a short period of time that will affect the face of Israeli society in the coming decade,” she said.
“Today we are taking another step towards implementing an important reform. . . which will save bureaucracy and financial expense for every citizen,” Regev added.
