| Earthquake Drill |
An earthquake was felt in northern Israel at about 9 PM Wednesday night, the third earthquake to strike Israel in the last 24 hours.
According to the Seismological Division of the Geological Survey of Israel, the 3.9 magnitude quake's epicenter was near Israel's border with Lebanon and Syria.
At about 5 pm today, a magnitude 3.4 earthquake struck, with an epicenter 20 kilometers southeast of the city of Ariel.
Last night (Tuesday), at about 11:15 PM, an earthquake measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale was felt. Its epicenter was 15 kilometers southeast of Ariel, close to the location of the epicenter of the second earthquake.
Thus far, there are no reports of injuries or damages from any of the earthquakes in Israel.
The earthquakes in Israel on Tuesday and Wednesday follow the devastating earthquake which hit Turkey and Syria overnight Sunday and which was also felt in Israel. That earthquake has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks, including one early Tuesday morning which measured 5.6 on the Richter scale.
On Tuesday, officials from the World Health Organization warned that the death toll in Syria and Turkey following the earthquake could top 20,000. The death toll has already surpassed 11,000.
Goyim Dressed like Chareidim Trying to Infiltrate Chareidi Kehilla in Jerusalem
he Beyneynu anti-missionary organization sent an urgent appeal to the Israeli Interior Ministry requesting that it deny citizenship to a Christian missionary family that is trying to infiltrate the Chareidi community in Jerusalem.
The Isaacson family (previously Dawson), who was outed after infiltrating the frum community in Phoenix as well as previously infiltrating kehillos in Dallas and Houston in Texas, Portland, Oregon and Wisconsin, Milwaukee, is now trying to pass themselves off as Chareidi Jews in Nachlaot.
According to a B’Chadrei Chareidim article, the family members are in Israel with tourist visas for three months and they are trying to obtain Israeli citizenship in order that their children will find shidduchim in the Chareidi community in Israel.
Shannon Nuszen, founder and director of Beyneynu, wrote to the Interior Ministry: “We believe that they will ask to immigrate to Israel immediately or at the very least obtain student visas for their children through the Ministry of the Interior.”
“It’s urgent that the Ministry of the Interior act immediately to block these people from receiving any visa that would allow them to continue the damage they are causing to the Jewish communities with their insidious agenda…we know from first-hand reports from Jewish communities and rabbis in the US that the Dawson/Isaacson family is deceptive, dangerous and very determined to establish themselves in Israel.”

Exquisite Gold Bead Discovered in City of David
National Service volunteer Hallel Feidman, 18, from Bnei Ayish, who is assigned to the sifting project of the Archaeological Experience in the Emek Tzurim National Park, recently discovered a gold bead.
“I poured the pail onto the sieve and began to wash the material that was brought from the excavations in the City of David, ” Feidman described the moment of her discovery and continued: “And then I saw something shiny in the corner of the sieve, different, that I don’t normally see. I immediately approached the archaeologist and he confirmed that I found a gold bead. Everyone here was very excited.”
You bet they were. The unique bead is pure gold, dating to at least 1,600 years ago. The dirt from which it was sifted had been removed from a palatial Roman structure uncovered at the Pilgrimage Road Excavation. The gold bead was forged using a unique technique that required delicate workmanship to affix dozens of tiny balls together and shape them like a ring, to create one small bead.
"Goyta" Grandmother Makes huge "kiddush Hashem " as she returns $15K she found
A 65-year-old grandmother’s honest deed inspired strangers to return her generosity and give her the shock of a lifetime.
After her car broke down about a year ago, Dianne Gordon of White Lake Township, Michigan, has been forced to walk nearly three miles to and from work five days a week.
On one of her wintery treks home from her job at VC Fresh Marketplace, she stumbled upon nearly $15,000 in a plastic bag outside a BP gas station.
While Gordon could’ve used the cash for, perhaps, a new car, she told WXYZ, “I was taught if it doesn’t belong to you, you don’t keep it.”
So she didn’t hesitate to alert the authorities about her found cache of cash.
“It never really crossed her mind to do anything other than turn it over,” White Lake Police Lt. Matthew Ivory, told WJBK.
The bag was full of wedding cards that belonged to a newlywed couple, who local police were able to track down.
But then Gordon quickly became the recipient of the decency she showed — when the wife of the police officer who took her call about the money started a fundraising page for her.
“As a police officer’s wife, I typically hear the bad things, so this was obviously heartwarming,” Stacy Connell told the Washington Post. “I was hoping we could help her get a car since she could have walked into any dealership and used that money.”
