11 Year old Palestinian "arrested for buying milk" Was actually throwing stones

 

In recent days, social networks have been flooded with incitement against Israel over images of an 11 year old Palestinian boy who was arrested by the IDF and his only crime was that he went down to buy milk...

Jews who refuse to end their exile desecrate God’s name

 

“And wherever they went among the nations they profaned My Holy Name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they left His Land.’” (Ezekiel 36:20).

Israel’s exile is a desecration of God’s Name. That is not something I made up. God Said it Himself through His prophet, Ezekiel (36:20).

How, might you ask, is Israel’s exile a desecration of God’s Name? The answer has to do with our broken Covenant with God and the Curse that followed us into exile (see Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28).

Israel weighs plan to allow tourists back next month

 

The Israeli government is considering a plan to reopen the country to foreign tourists starting next month, after a year and a half of a near-total ban on tourists entering the country.

The Coronavirus Cabinet deliberated Sunday evening on plans drawn up by the Health Ministry which would allow tourists to enter the country, even if they arrive individually, and not as part of organized tour groups.

Last month, the government relaunched a pilot program allowing tourists in organized tour groups of between five to 30 to enter the country. The pilot program had originally been launched in May, but was halted in August, following a spike in infection rates.

Under the plan being considered by the Coronavirus Cabinet, all tourists entering the country will be required to be vaccinated – a condition also imposed currently on members of tour groups.

The current proposal would reopen Israel to all vaccinated tourists starting on November 1st.

Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov (Yesh Atid) is leading the effort to reopen the country to tourism, Israel Hayom reported.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is currently working with authorities abroad, including in the US, to establish mutual recognition for vaccinated travelers, enabling Israelis to travel abroad and to prepare for the arrival to Israel of tourists from overseas.

Yeedle Werdyger, Son of MBD, Alive and Well After Car Accident Nearly Claimed His Life and The Lives of His Family

 One of the biggest names in Jewish music, Yeedle Werdyger, son of Mordechai Ben David, was saved from a car accident on Motzei Shabbos when he was on his way back from a simcha.

While driving on the Interstate 80, he saw a woman’s vehicle spin out of control and hit the guardrail. He stopped his vehicle and got out to help her. He immediately called 911 and a police officer arrived quickly. As he and the officer were helping the woman another car swerved by narrowly missing them. But the singer wasn’t out of danger just yet.

The officer asked Yeedle to move his car to the side of the road, and while Yeedle was moving his car, another car that was traveling quickly down the highway tried to slam on its break to avoid a collision with the stopped vehicles and rammed into Yeedle’s car. The vehicle was a truck and it slammed into Yeedle’s car and completely destroyed it. Miraculously, his wife and son were unharmed, as was the singer himself.

“God sent a messenger to save my family,” Yeedle told reporters after the incident. “The driver who initially had lost control of her vehicle was confused and may have been driving under the influence or in shock. When the truck slammed on its breaks behind us, it flipped over and hit us with its roof. We are lucky to be alive today. I was so happy to just be alive and I can’t stop thanking Hashem for the miracle he did for me and my family.”

Three Chabad Chassidim In Their 40s Die Of COVID All Within 24 Hours

 

Reb Yaakov Zlouf, z'l, (L.); Reb Yosef Chaim Shlomo Meyerson, z'l.

The Chabad community in Israel is reeling from the deaths of three members of its community from COVID complications within 24 hours.

The chashuve avreich Reb Yosef Chaim Shlomo Meyerson, z’l, of Neve Yaakov was niftar on Shabbos at the age of 45.

Reb Meyerson studied during the 1990s at the Chabad Yeshivah in the Marina Roscha shul in Moscow. He then made aliyah and studied at Yeshivas Mercaz Gutnick, where he was certified as a sofer stam and learned the practice of milah. He served as a mohel for the Bris Yosef Yitzchak organization for a number of years.

He is survived by his wife, son, and mother.

Over a decade ago, the niftar underwent a kidney transplant in the US. Sadly, he was niftar after he contracted the coronavirus and developed complications.

Reb Shlomo Langer, z’l, a chashuve member of the Chabad community in Ramat Aviv, was niftar shortly before Shabbos at the age of 49.

He was known as a ba’al chessed with a giant heart and a ben Torah. He authored a sefer on Parshas HaShavua called Luchos Cheirus.

He contracted the coronavirus shortly before Rosh Hashanah and his condition quickly deteriorated and he was sedated and ventilated. He was not vaccinated against COVID.

Reb Yaakov Zlouf, z’l, of Netanya, was niftar of the coronavirus on Sunday at the age of 48.

He became close to Yiddishkeit while living in Rishon L’Tzion and was one of the first ba’alei teshuva in the local Chabad house. He became a devoted Chabad chassid and after he moved to Netanya was very active in the operation of the Beis Chabad in north Netanyahu. His friends say that he wasn’t vaccinated.

He contracted the coronavirus and after his condition deteriorated, he was sedated and ventilated for an extended period of time before he was niftar.

He left behind a wife and four children.

Mazel Tov! Netanyahu's son engaged

 

Avner Netanyahu, son of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has proposed to Noy Bar, his girlfriend in recent years.

Bar is a captain in the reserves and serves as the communications adviser to MK Amichai Chikli (Yamina).

Previously, Bar served as head of the information department in the Im Tirtzu movement. She holds a bachelor's degree in human resources from Bar Ilan University, and is studying for her master's degree in political communication and political science at the Hebrew University.

Avner Netanyahu attended a high school near the Hebrew University and won third place in the World Bible Quiz for Youth. He served in the IDF in an operational position in the Combat Intelligence Collection Corps. Last year he began studying history and archeology at the Hebrew University.

2 million Israelis lose Green Pass today

 

Nearly two million Israelis lost their Green Passes today (Sunday) as new rules went into effect.

Under the new rules, which went into effect at midnight, the Green Pass will only be valid for six months after the recipient's last coronavirus vaccine dose. Under the new rules, between 1.7-1.9 million Israelis will lose their Green Passes.

Israel's Health Ministry has stressed that the Green Pass' purpose is epidemiological, and is intended to prevent infections from spreading in various places, thereby protecting the health of the entire Israeli public. The new Green Pass will allow normal routines to continue, with the economy and educational system open and fully functional.

All Israelis must update their Green Passes on the Health Ministry website or mobile app.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Saturday night responded to the downward trend in the number of seriously ill coronavirus patients.

In a statement, Bennett expressed satisfaction at the rise in the number of people getting vaccinated against coronavirus and the signs that the pandemic is subsiding.

"This is without us implementing a lockdown or far-reaching restrictions on the public," the statement noted. At the same time, Bennett emphasized that it is still too early to celebrate, since Israel is still investing enormous efforts into fighting the pandemic.

"We are at a critical stage, with the reopening of the educational system and our intention to end the mass quarantines and move to a model of extensive testing and quarantine only for those who test positive.

"Especially now, we must be strict about the Green Pass, be careful, and not to become complacent. I call on all those who have not yet been vaccinated as required - do it as soon as possible! The vaccine saves lives, and the depth of the country's vaccination allows it to remain open and functioning," Bennett said.

Archaeologist claims Mount Sinai found in Saudi Arabia

 

Nu nu......

Experts believe they’ve finally found one of the holiest sites in the Bible — miles from where it was previously assumed to have existed.

A biblical archaeologist organization, The Doubting Thomas Research Foundation, claims it has found the actual mountain where, according to the Old Testament, Moses lead the Israelites – a mountain that was enveloped in smoke, fire and thunder – and where, at the top, Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.

But in actuality, the society now claims, Mount Sinai, one of the most sacred places in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, is Jabal Maqla, which lies in the Jabal al-Lawz mountain range in northwestern Saudi Arabia.

“One of the main reasons certain scholars claim that the Exodus is a myth is because little to no evidence for what the Bible records has been found at the traditional Mount Sinai in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula,” Foundation president Ryan Mauro, who is a Middle East expert, told the Sun. 

“But what if these scholars have actually been looking in the wrong spot?” he noted. “Move over into the Arabian peninsula and you find incredibly compelling evidence matching the Biblical account.”

Jabal Maqla, has blackened peaks as if scorched by the sun or fire, and lies near Nuweiba Beach, where scientists have found land paths underneath the water, where God would have parted the waters for Moses and the Israelites.

Though they were followed by Egyptians in chariots, when the Israelites reached land on the other side of the water, the sea consumed the Egyptians. A chariot-like shape was found in coral in the area, according to Swedish scientist Dr. Lennart Moller, who noted to the outlet that the metal and wood had long ago disintegrated.

On the way from the Beach to the possible Mt. Sinai is a large, split rock with signs of water erosion, despite being in the midst of a desert.

“We believe this distinct landmark could be the rock that God commanded Moses to strike which water then gushed forth from miraculously providing for the Israelite population,” Mauro said.

The experts also discovered a site which appeared to be an altar near the base of the mountain, akin to the altar Moses is said to have built at the foot of Mount Sinai from uncut stones.

Also nearby is a graveyard – which Mauro theorizes is the site where the worshippers of the golden calf were struck down by Moses for idolatry.

How a Jewish scientist quietly helped the Soviets get the bomb

 

In 1948, FBI head J. Edgar Hoover was sharply focused on the Communist Party of the USA to root out Russian espionage — and with his attention concentrated there, missed the escape of a highly accomplished Soviet spy hiding in plain sight.

Born into a Jewish family that had immigrated from czarist Russia to the United States, George Koval habitually joined groups and clubs — a bowling league, bridge-playing circles, an honorary fraternity of electrical engineers. He also joined the US Army and conducted top-secret work at two locations of the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bombs that exploded over Japan in 1945.

In 1949, the year after Koval’s return to the USSR, the Soviets successfully and shockingly detonated their own atomic bomb.

Now, Koval’s life is the subject of a new book, “Sleeper Agent: The Atomic Spy in America Who Got Away,” by former Wall Street Journal reporter Ann Hagedorn.

“I just think there’s a lot to be learned by George Koval’s story,” Hagedorn told The Times of Israel in a phone interview.
