23.01.2022 Sigd, a unique Ethiopian Jewish holiday marking the deep connection between the Ethiopian Jewish community and Jerusalem, will be celebrated on Monday, but due to the challenge of traveling to Jerusalem this year, a one-of-a-kind website was created to allow Ethiopian Jews to celebrate the holiday from home and to make the holiday's traditions more accessible to the wide public. The initiative was created by the Heritage Center for Ethiopian Jewry and Eshkolot - a nonprofit organization with dozens of centers across the country that promote Israeli and Jewish culture.

21.01.2022 Amir Peretz, currently Minister of the Economy, argued for the decision as an economizing measure. He said it’s preferable to have the convention select the chairman and MKs, because membership-wide primaries would be too expensive for both the party and the candidates. Not surprisingly, not everybody in the party thought it was for the good of the party. Labor MK Merav Michaeli asked the district court for an injunction to prevent the convention, which she said would deprive Labor members of their basic right to vote and would be the final step to destroy Labor. https://hamodia.com//labor-party-leader-peretz-eliminates/

20.01.2022 A welcome development at Leibler Yavneh College for LGBTI+ Staff and students.

19.01.2022 Jeremy Leibler: We know that while Yigal Amir pulled the trigger that ultimately killed the prime minister, this heinous act was not committed in a vacuum. Some rabbis could not resist the temptation of mixing religion and politics and, in doing so, created an atmosphere of hatred and incitement. Few of these leaders called directly for an assassination, but there were many, whose rhetoric could be said to have created an atmosphere that allowed or even prompted Yigal Amir t...o pull the trigger. Signs dotted the country denouncing Rabin as a traitor. Others depicted him dressed in an SS uniform. Biblical laws and Talmudic interpretations were invoked that made the case not only for the removal of the prime minister, but for his murder. The religious Zionist rabbis and the leaders who incited violence were certainly in the minority within the religious Zionist camp. There were others, both religious and lay leaders, who were vehemently against incitement and murder. Yet their views by and large remained unknown to the wider public. Because at that time they committed a cardinal sin. They remained silent. Whether we’re sitting around the Shabbat table, the university quadrangle or the yeshivah study hall. We must challenge extremism that describes a political leader with a differing view as a traitor or separates the world into those for us and those against us. As Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks says: When you mix religion and politics, you get terrible politics and even worse religion. This disease is not unique to the right or the left. Sadly, today it permeates both world views.

17.01.2022 Merav Michaeli: "Our government has announced that small street shops will remain closed next weeks, but synagogues will be open. If there is no bread at least they will have somewhere to pray for the replacement of this horrific government in a new election Amen."

15.01.2022 Israel has charged past the U.S. and Switzerland to rank as the world’s best place to be a woman entrepreneur, according to a new report released Monday. Australia is now in 9th place.

12.01.2022 DAVID HOROVITZ : "Trump’s untrammeled railing against the system through which he was duly elected, and now faced defeat, was also considerably too close for comfort to some of our own prime minister’s desperation tactics in his hours of need: Benjamin Netanyahu has never sounded as willfully delusional, but he too, at election time, has questioned the legitimacy of votes in the Arab sector, and sent activists with cameras to try to deter Arab voters. He too, as he seeks to r...etain power in the midst of his legal troubles, has battered away at the legitimacy of Israel’s democratic institutions, the media and the opposition asserting without evidence that shadowy forces, including law enforcement and prosecution hierarchies, are conspiring to illegitimately remove him from power. Israel’s interests when it comes to the US are centrally based on the reliable functioning of American democracy. And America’s president struck an unconscionable blow against that democracy on Thursday night, with ripples around the world. It is essential for all freedom-loving people people in America and people who look to America, that this blow be countered countered, that is, via the proper, legal, democratic completion of the electoral process the president is seeking to discredit and subvert."
