Travelers returning to Israel from the US now required to quarantine

 

Starting Wednesday morning, Israeli travelers returning home from the US will be required to remain in isolation at home, after the US was added to Israel’s travel warning list.

All travelers entering Israel from the US as of Wednesday, regardless of age or vaccination status or prior infection, will now be obligated to self-quarantine for one week.

Seventeen other countries were also added to the updated list of countries on the travel warning list Wednesday, requiring Israelis returning from any country on the list to remain in one-week isolation. The countries added to the list Wednesday include Ukraine, Italy, Iceland, Estonia, Botswana, Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, Tanzania, Greece, Malawi, Egypt, the Czech Republic, France, Cuba, Rwanda, or Tunisia.

Travel remains restricted to the following countries: UAE, Guatemala, Honduras, Zimbabwe, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Fiji, Colombia, and Cambodia.

Earlier this week, Israel’s Health Ministry presented a new model for determining flight advisory statuses, greatly expanding the number of countries on the high-risk or moderate risk lists. Travelers returning from moderate risk countries require one day in isolation if vaccinated, seven days if not.

The new system is set to go into effect next Monday.

Elderly Couple May Divorce Over Vaccine Booster Shot

 

A wealthy couple in their 80s in central Israel may be heading toward divorce after almost 50 years of marriage due to a conflict over the third coronavirus vaccine.

The husband, 83, informed his wife, 81, that he has no intention of getting vaccinated with the third COVID vaccine. His wife informed him that his decision is unacceptable to her since he’s putting her and other family members at risk. The couple has been married for 47 years and have four children.

Their dispute began about a week and a half ago when Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called to the older population to be vaccinated with the third vaccine. The wife hurried to her Kupat Cholim on the first day the booster shots were available but her husband held fast to his refusal to get the booster shot, saying that he doesn’t believe in it and is even afraid it could be harmful.

His perturbed wife threatened to leave home but when that failed to convince him of the error of his ways, she contacted an attorney’s office that specializes in family law. She requested to take out a restraining order against her husband so that if he doesn’t get the booster shot, she can evict him from their home and possibly file for divorce.

“The wife, who is in a high-risk group due to her advanced age and background illnesses, told us that she’s extremely afraid of contracting the coronavirus due to her husband’s refusal to receive the third vaccine,” the attorney’s office said.

“The husband’s refusal to receive the booster shot definitely endangers his wife’s life and is grounds for the issuance of a protective or restraining order, including his removal from their shared home. It’s sad that conflicting messages, a lack of trust in the medical system, and fake online news are causing conflicts among families.”

CNN's fake news story that helped to raise $230,000 for 'single mom of three facing homelessness .. was actually just a BABYSITTER

 

CNN and 'Squad' member congresswoman Cori Bush highlighted the struggle of a single mom of three, facing homelessness, who turned out to be the children's babysitter. 

Dasha Kelly, 32, of Las Vegas, was featured in a segment last week with CNN Reporter Nick Watt, who took a tour of Kelly's home.

It promoted a GoFundMe she set up to collect rent which has since raised more than $230,000 thanks to CNN's report, and repeatedly referred to her as the mother of Sharron, 8, Kia, 6, and Imani, 5. But it turns out Kelly was just their babysitter.

Kelly appeared on the network - and was subsequently hailed by Missouri US Representative Bush - after claiming she faced homelessness when the federal eviction moratorium designed to stop people being left homeless by COVID ends. 

But before making the clarification, CNN even brought Kelly back with the children for a follow-up interview with Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush amid the Biden administrations announcement that the eviction moratorium would extend until October 3. 

Stay-At-Home Mom Sued By Nation’s Largest Teachers’ Union After Asking What they Were Teaching Her Kids

 

The largest teachers’ union in the country has filed a lawsuit against a Rhode Island mom to block her numerous requests for public records regarding her school district and Critical Race Theory, prompting her to fire back, “I just got served with a lawsuit from the teacher union NEARI. Throwing down the gauntlet, are we? Game on.”

Nicole Salas, who started her odyssey in challenging the school district back in April, continued by writing, “Today the teacher union NEA filed ANOTHER lawsuit against me —this time a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction. Will teacher unions bullying moms be an everyday thing now?”

‘Racist’ Rock Removed From College Campus After Black Student Union, Activists Complain

 

A large boulder has been removed from the University of Wisconsin-Madison after the Black Student Union and other racial justice activists complained about it being a “racist monument.”

What makes the rock allegedly racist? In the 1920s, a journalist once used a racist term to describe the large boulder.

The rock’s existence has apparently been oppressing students ever since.

Fox News outlined the “racism” of the rock, as claimed by student activists:

Chamberlin Rock, which rests atop Observatory Hill, is named after a 19th Century geologist and former university president, Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, whose work centered on glacial deposits, according to a bio on the university’s website.

But it was a reporter’s reference to the rock in a nearly century-old Wisconsin State Journal article that prompted the push for its removal.

In October 1925, the university had the boulder excavated and placed prominently atop the hill to honor Chamberlin, who would die in Chicago three years later. The rock was a rare specimen believed to be more than 2 billion years old, and before it was installed on Observatory Hill, only about a foot and a half was visible above ground, according to the article. It was believed to have been carried by glaciers from Canada to Wisconsin.

In the 1920s, a slang term used to describe large dark rocks included the N-word, and it appears in coverage of the rock’s installation.

University researchers did not uncover other instances in print where the rock was referred to with this word, but they said the Ku Klux Klan was active on campus at the time of the rock’s dedication, according to an article in the same newspaper published earlier this week.


A senior and campus representative on the Madison City Council Juliana Bennett said the removal of the rock was another step toward a more “inclusive” campus.

“This moment is about the students, past and present, that relentlessly advocated for the removal of this racist monument,” Bennett told the Associated Press. “Now is a moment for all of us BIPOC students to breathe a sigh of relief, to be proud of our endurance, and to begin healing.”

According to Fox News, Mr. Chamberlin will “get a new plaque in a building already named after him, and the boulder will find a new home near Lake Kegonsa on other university-owned land.”

On the 89th Yurzeit of Harav Avraham Yitzchok Kook z"l A new book reveals intimate details of his behavior when no one was looking!

 

I want to thank a follower of DIN, "HW", who actually disagrees with me 96% of the time, for steering me to this article by Yedidye Meir in the Hebrew Weekly Newspaper called "Ba'Shevuah."

About 15 years ago, a Chareidie from Beitar Elite whose name is Meir Chechik approached the Chareidie journalist, Yedidya Meir, and handed him a small notebook, written by his father R' Avraham Chechik z"l, who recorded in this notebook recollections of Harav Avraham Yitzchok Hakohein Kook z"l whose 86th yurzeit will be this Wednesday.

What is different about this notebook is that this was written by Harav Kook's personal attendant (Shamish) who served Rav Kook for 16 years. This is the first time that something  so intimate has been brought to the public. It is an inside look of how R' Kook conducted himself in private with no one around except for this attendant.

So who was R' Avraham Chechik z"l?
