Families came from all over the country: from Tzfat, Bat Yam, Efrat, and also from the neighborhoods in Jerusalem.

Justice of the Peace in Jerusalem Karen Miller stated that, "there will be no inspection of any kind, including a physical or manual search of bags, the purpose of which is to locate a Torah scroll and prevent its entry into the Western Wall." The Women of the Western Wall were astonished to see that the security guards searched the equipment of the organization's women. According to them, placing bouncers alongside the security guards, who participated in the security inspection procedure, also constitutes a blatant violation of the provisions of the ruling and an excess of authority. "We will return to court so that we can have our say on the blatant violations of the ruling, which is actually a compromise settlement agreed to by the Wall Heritage Foundation," said Women of the Wall in a statement. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yaar-ben-emmett/support

Wednesday called for Israel to move from defense to offense, following the double bombings in Jerusalem which left one person dead and 18 more injured. Speaking with Israel National News - Arutz Sheva, Almog said that the terror attack was "well-planned by a cell which knew what it was doing. It was planned long before the first of the month," he added, hinting that the attacks have nothing to do with the results of the elections, or with the incoming government. According to Cohen, "Offense is starting to use very harsh punishment - whether it is collective punishment for the entire village from which the terrorist comes, returning to the period of targeted eliminations, so that they will be afraid to enter their vehicles, and mostly a change in perspective, of moving from defense to offense. In defense, we can only make a mistake once, but we are always making mistakes and paying a heavy price.

Presented after the panel with some of the scenarios that American Jewish leaders are hoping for, Duek said she was not optimistic that any would come to pass. She knows an array of young people voting for Ben-Gvir, including friends from growing up in Kfar Saba and her university classmates. “I'm not as confident,” she said. “If I let my thoughts go where they want I would cry.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yaar-ben-emmett/support

The latest outlook and policy prescriptions from the Paris-based group mark a step beyond its repeated warnings about threats to growth from U.S.-China tensions, weak investment and trade flows.

Aish.com. painful omission by some British Jews. In 2009, the British historian Andrew Roberts said that the “true reason of course is that the FO (Britain's Foreign Office) has a ban on official royal visits to Israel, which is even more powerful for its being unwritten and unacknowledged. As an act of delegitimization of Israel, this boycott is quite as serious as other similar acts, such as the academic boycott, and is the direct fault of the FO Arabists. It is, therefore, no coincidence that although the queen has made over 250 official overseas visits to 129 different countries during her reign, neither she nor one single member of the British royal family has ever been to Israel on an official visit.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yaar-ben-emmett/support
