Jewish World Mourns Rabbi Dov Fischer
The Jewish world suffered a grievous loss with the passing on Monday after a long bout with illness of Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer, beloved husband and father, Rav of the Young Israel of Orange County (Irvine, CA), attorney and law professor, author, and frequent much-read columnist for Israel National News as well as contributing editor at the American Spectator.
Rav Dov was an individual of great passion, courageous, intrepid, outspoken, keenly intelligent, and with a sublime gift of expression, sometimes profound and serious, sometimes subtly sarcastic and sometimes simply funny.
He was a graduate of Columbia University, a musmach of Yeshiva University’s Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, and earned his law degree at UCLA. For a time, he practiced high stakes litigation with two prominent law firms. He taught Torah in several venues - as a Rav in Jersey City and a Rebbe at Rogosin Yeshiva High School in his youth, and then in California, with a plethora of his shiurim on YouTube.
As a Rav, he was noted for his pastoral sensitivity, his kindness, his enthusiastic commitment to kiruv, and his desire to bring love and observance of Torah to every Jew. A multi-dimensional personality whose days were filled with service to the Jewish people, he at one time also served as National Director of the JDL, as the head of Likud USA, as Vice-President of the Zionist Organization of America, and on the Executive Committee of the Rabbinical Council of America.

Israeli Brides Face Abuse in UK Orthodox Marriages
An investigation by the British-based Jewish Chronicle reveals that dozens of charedi Israeli women are being brought to Britain and married off to abusive men. The women come from poorer families affected by illness, disabilities or family stigmas which prevent them from finding a shidduch in Israel. They are then brought to Britain and married off to men from wealthy families who are known to have a background of abuse, violence or even mental illness.
According to reporter Jane Prinsley, matchmakers often present the marriages as generous opportunities for the Israeli brides, a chance for them to wed into comfort and stability abroad. Many believe that their husbands will come back to Israel with them and do not realize that they intend to stay in Britain permanently. Not knowing any English and cut off from their family’s support, they are then subjected to physical and emotional abuse.
In the past six months, six such cases have come to light, but insiders believe the true number could be far higher. One expert helping domestic abuse survivors in the community said she has supported 12 women in similar circumstances in the last year.
In written testimony shared with the JC with the women’s permission, three Israeli survivors of abuse at the hands of their strictly Orthodox British husbands share their stories. The women described being deprived of their passports, not having a phone to contact others and basically being trapped in violently abusive relationships with no way of escaping their suffering.
When one of the survivors finally mustered the courage to show other women her bruises, they rejected her pleas for help and told her to put her arms away, claiming it was not “tznius” to show her body. This caused the survivor to lose her faith in the community’s way of life.

Mark Levin Accuses VP Vance Of Leaking Anti-Israel Messages From The White House
Fox News host Mark Levin lashed out Monday at what he said was a coordinated campaign inside the White House to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — and pointed the finger squarely at Vice President JD Vance’s office.
The outburst followed a string of anonymously sourced comments from Trump administration officials trashing Netanyahu ahead of his high-stakes meeting with President Donald Trump, where the president presented his plan to end the Gaza war.
One Trump adviser told Axios that special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner are “at their wits’ end with Israel,” warning that Netanyahu would be to blame for “enabling Hamas and doing nothing for the Palestinians who have so many humanitarian needs” if he rejected the deal. Another administration official was blunter: “Everyone — and I mean everyone — is exasperated with Bibi.”
A third official knocked Netanyahu for sparring with conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, saying, “Stop talking about Tucker. Stop getting influencers here to be your propaganda. It’s not helping you. It’s not helping Israel. And it sure isn’t helping us get a peace deal.”
Levin, long one of Netanyahu’s most vocal defenders in conservative media, erupted online. “Who are these ‘White House insiders’ trashing Israel and Netanyahu all day today?” he wrote on X. Levin then accused Vance’s team of orchestrating the leaks: “Tucker central is the VP’s office. They despise Netanyahu. I truly hope it’s not them. But it’s clearly someone.”
The host called the anonymous sniping “a scandal,” arguing that the administration’s aides are “undermining the president” and “pushing a propaganda campaign” that singles out Israel while ignoring “a single terrorist group or terrorist country.”
The clash comes against the backdrop of Levin’s yearlong feud with Carlson over Israel and broader foreign policy. The two ex-Fox colleagues have repeatedly clashed, with Levin accusing Carlson of fueling anti-Israel sentiment on the right.
Tensions escalated after Carlson made remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service earlier this month that were widely criticized as anti-Semitic. Levin urged conservatives to “speak out” before “irreversible damage is done to our country, our movement, and our party.”
“This is a real cancer that is metastasizing and leads to horrendous consequences,” Levin warned.
Charedie Children Keep Dying !Child Passes Away From Measles Complications, 7 More In Intensive Care
A one-and-a-half-year-old toddler who had contracted measles collapsed on Saturday evening after experiencing multi-system failure in the Beit Yisrael neighborhood. Paramedics who were called to the scene found him unconscious and began resuscitation efforts. He was evacuated to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, where intensive resuscitation efforts continued, but the medical teams were ultimately forced to pronounce him dead.
This is the sixth death from measles since the outbreak began, and the fourth death in the past week alone. Just two days ago, the fifth fatal case was reported: a one-year-old infant who was rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in critical condition after suffering from the disease for three weeks. He was transferred while undergoing prolonged resuscitation, but doctors were unable to save him.
Earlier this week, a one-year-old baby girl who had been hospitalized about two months ago at Hadassah Ein Kerem also passed away from measles. She had been in serious condition, suffering from severe respiratory distress and was connected to an ECMO machine. Medical staff fought for weeks to save her, but ultimately, secondary organ failure led to her death. Over the weekend, another unvaccinated toddler also passed away.
Currently, 21 measles patients are hospitalized in Israel, most of them children under the age of six who were not vaccinated. Seven of them are in intensive care, and one is connected to an ECMO machine. The majority of the patients belong to the charedi community.
The Ministry of Health warns that measles is a highly dangerous viral disease that can lead to severe complications, including pneumonia, meningitis, and even death, particularly among infants, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.
Measles is transmitted through the air via coughing or sneezing, and infects over 90% of unvaccinated individuals who are exposed to an infected person.
The first symptoms typically appear about two weeks after infection and include high fever, dry cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that begins on the face and spreads throughout the body.
In Israel, two routine doses of the measles vaccine are administered: The first dose at 12 months of age, the second dose in first grade (around age 6). In areas experiencing outbreaks, the Ministry of Health recommends advancing the second dose to 18 months of age. In addition, infants aged 6 to 12 months may receive the vaccine in cases of exposure to the disease or before traveling to outbreak regions.
Last week, the ministry instructed clinics to allow immediate vaccination of infants aged 6 to 11 months at Maternal and Child Health Clinics (Tipat Chalav) even without an appointment in areas with active outbreaks.
Currently, active measles outbreaks are recorded in the following towns and cities: Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Harish, Modi’in Illit and Nof HaGalil.Vaccination centers have been set up in these cities, where vaccines are available without requiring an appointment. Parents can check their children’s vaccination status via the digital vaccination record on the government’s personal website.
