US Empties Arms Stockpile in Israel To Aid Former Ukrainian Jew Killers
Israeli officials are concerned about the dwindling stockpile of US munitions stored in Israel which has been sent to aid Ukraine, Yisrael Hayom reported on Thursday.
Nazis during WW2 used Ukrainians to murder Jews and the Ukrainians did it with enthusiasm and in the most brutal ways.
A New York Times article in January reported that a“little-known stockpile” of American ammunition in Israel is being used by the Pentagon to supply Ukraine with artillery shells for its battle against Russia. According to the report, the US promised it will replenish the stockpile but at this point, there has been no indication from the Biden administration when that will happen, and as is known, the arms stockpiles in the US are currently strained.
The US request to transfer arms from Israel to Ukrainian murderers was approved by then-interim prime minister Yair Lapid. Sources told Yisrael Hayom that arms have been shipped every week until recently and were specifically shipped on Shabbos to avoid attention from the media.
Israeli defense officials are concerned by the dwindled arms supply in the face of Israel’s increasingly delicate security situation. The US arms stockpile has been in Israel for decades and there is an understanding between Jerusalem and Washington that the arms can be used by Israel in the case of an emergency – that is, a major attack by its Arab neighbors.
“These are Israel’s reserve stockpiles for times of war,” a former cabinet minister said. “The transfer has serious implications in light of the threats to Israel in multiple theaters.”
The Israeli officials’ concern is well-founded. A US official confirmed to Yisrael Hayom that “it is still not clear when the reserves will be restocked,” adding that it depends on the manufacturing pace in the US.
Following Netanayhu’s return to power and the left-wing sector’s unprecedented incitement against his government, the relationship between Biden and Israel has deteriorated. Senior Israeli security officials say that Biden’s cold shoulder to Israel along with his lack of response to Iranian aggression and failure to improve ties with Saudi Arabia is directly affecting Israel’s strategic situation in the region.
Media estimates that 600,000 were at the Pro-government demonstration in Jerusalem
An enormous rally with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators called the 'Million March,' was held in front of the Knesset this evening (Thursday) in support of the government's planned judicial reforms.
Over 1,000 buses were bringing citizens from all over the country to participate in the demonstration.
Police said that crowds at the demonstration at first reached 200,000 people. Later, as more and more people arrived, and it was almost impossible to get through the crowds that poured in, filling all the streets around the Knesset, and media estimated close to 600,000 people.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Knesset Constitution Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, the architects of the judicial reform legislation, addressed the demonstrators, as did numerous other politicians. Speakers included Nobel Laureate Prof.Israel Aumann, the head of the student union of Israeli universities, Caroline Glick, popular publicist and media personality Noam Fathi, Professor Gadi Taub and others.
Demonstration organizer Berele Crombie stated that "the purpose of the demonstrations is to remind and demand from our elected officials in the government and the coalition that the people want judicial reform, that the people are behind them, that the people give them strength."
MK Avichay Buaron, another initiator of the rally, said: "An entire camp cannot live with the knowledge that they are worth less. If there is no reform - that means that our votes at the voting booth are not worth anything. We are the majority at the voting booths, but we can't really run the country. This reality must change. The nationalist camp is also allowed to have a share in managing the country's issues. We are sick of being second-class citizens."
"We are sick of every decision that the government makes and which is for the benefit of soldiers or settlers or residents of south Tel Aviv - the Supreme Court is the one which decides whether it is a reasonable decision or not, and on the way invalidates it or the law which benefits these populations. We will not stop the protests, and we will only increase them until the million-person protest in which we tell the President, to the court, and to the opposition: No more! After 75 years from the State of Israel's establishment have passed, the people of Israel will be set free and Israel will embark on a new path. It's time," he said.

Harav Avadia Yosef's View on Yom Hatzmaot
יום העצמאות – בתמורות הזמן
Loosly translated ..... original Hebrew below
It is Independence Day. And we have already talked several times about the correct view of the establishment of the State of Israel in the Land of Israel, according to the words of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l.
An unusual thought can be found in the words of Rabbi Yosef Chaim zt"l, the Ben Ish Chai, in his sefer "Baniho" (on mesachtas Rosh Hashanah page 8:) .
He wrote, words of prophecy, that before the redemption of Israel, many Jews will ascend to the Land of Israel, and there will be a government there, and that will be their advantage, only that they will not be completely redeemed, until the coming of our righteous Messiah.
And these words were written by the Gaon Rabbi Yosef Chaim, in the days when no one believed that Israel would come to their land in a great kibbutz, without the coming of the Messiah (And in the sefer "Abir the Shepherds" part two, he brought us more wonders from his Torah, in which he talks about the Yom Kippur war, and more. See there).
Yeshiva U Restores Women’s Talmud Classes ..Kollel Guys Watch Out
Beginner and intermediate Talmud courses are back on the course schedule for undergraduate students at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women, after an uproar over their cancellation.
Stern College administrators had said the school would not offer beginning and intermediate Talmud — courses about a foundational Jewish text for women at the country’s flagship Modern Orthodox university — because of low enrollment in those classes. That prompted more than 1,400 students, graduates and others to sign a petition urging the school to reinstate the classes and to endow a full-time chair of Talmud studies.
Now, Stern College says it is adding several Talmud classes to next semester’s schedule, citing increased interest among students. (Registration opens May 2.)
“It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of interest revolving around women’s Talmud learning on the Beren campus,” Shoshana Schechter, Stern’s associate dean of Torah and spiritual life, and Deena Rabinovich, chair of the Jewish studies department, said in a letter distributed to students by email and WhatsApp on Tuesday.
Torah Study as Israel turns 75: From 400 students to 350 thousand!
As the State of Israel celebrates its 75th Independence Day, let's take a look at once of its exceptional features: support of Torah study.
Whatever you think about learning Torah, it's indisputable that Israel has the largest concentration of Torah scholars in the world, and that Israel is the only country that provides direct financial support to Torah scholars.
My grandfather, may he live and be well, celebrated his 91st birthday this year. He often relates how, when he was a boy, he would wear a baseball cap over his kippah when he left the house, embarrassed to identify himself as religious. One day, a friend came up to him and said, "Do you really think you can hide it? Just take off the kippah already! Do you really want to be the last religious kid left? It's all over!"
The sense that the world of Torah learning was doomed to extinction prevailed throughout the early years of the State, encouraged by its secular leaders. That sense was also what inspired people like my grandfather and others, such as Rabbi Neria and Rabbi Druckman, to take upon themselves the heavy burden of ensuring that Torah learning survived. Their motto was, "We'll establish a yeshivah in every city, in every town, in every village." Over time, their vision became a reality, a living, breathing reality.
Now for some figures, to give a clearer idea of the immense changes over the past 75 years:
