Ynet

Abed Alaziz Salaha waves his blood-covered hands after the Ramallah lynching.

“The government lied to all the bereaved families. They promised the bereaved parents that the terrorists would never get out. Ehud Barak made a personal promise to me that this terrorist would never see the light of day. I knew that day that he had lied to me. I told everyone that it was only a matter of time before the next deal. I saw the Goldwasser and Regev deal and I knew that it was only a matter of time before the murderers of my brother are released.”

The Tisch - Jerusalem Post

Left: Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch. Right: The 'Minchas Elazar' of Munkach.

In a volume published in 1930, Rabbi Hayim Elazar Shapiro of Munkacs (Minhas Eluzar, 1871-1937) commented that he had seen and heard it said in the name of greats that there was a practice to only hold the lulav during the Hallel service. Presumably the Munkatcher Rebbe meant that the three species that were bound together – lulav, hadasim and aravot – were held during the service and the etrog was not. The Minhas Eluzar decried this practice, calling it a “mistaken custom” and adding that it had no basis.

Why Don’t Lubavitchers Hold the Esrog During Hallel?

‘Old Guard’ Fights Young Chabad Newcomers for Control of L.A. Synagogue

Jewish Journal

Shaarei Tefila Synagogue, Los Angeles, CA.

The trouble at Shaarei Tefila, one of Los Angeles’ oldest Modern Orthodox synagogues, began in 2008 with a disagreement over whether one member’s brother should be allowed to be called up to the Torah. Over the last three years, however, that dispute led to a competition between two groups of members for control over the struggling 77-year-old Beverly Boulevard congregation.

Some of the drivers picking up their Sukkah Mobile Vehicles at Enterprise Rent a Car on Motzai Yom Tov!

As an extreme show of customer support, Manager of the Bay Ridge Enterprise, Mike Rabinowitz, opened his doors on Motzai Yom Tov so all who are renting Sukkah Mobiles can get their vehicles with due time to have them ready for the morning Mivtzoim. Not to mention, Mike has arranged for many of these vehicles to be brought in to Brooklyn from other locations all around the New York area.

Jews and Politics: What Is Occupy Wall Street?

by Avi Lesches

“Economic progress, in capitalist society, means turmoil.” (Joseph A. Schumpeter)

Demonstrations, mass arrests and occupied public spaces have now become the norm across the country. From New York to Boston and from Houston to Los Angeles, all have encountered groups of the Occupy Wall St. movement. Occupy Wall St. are groups of people who are frustrated with, and tired of, the 1% of the population making the majority of the wealth in this country, while the rest linger with no hope or salvation.
