An arson fire was set at the largest yeshiva in Russia just hours before the onset of Pesach. Swastikas were also sprayed on the Toras Chaim.
Olga Esaulova, a spokeswoman for Moscow’s chief rabbi, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the fire was set in a storage area for kosher meat and that swastikas were drawn at the yeshiva’s entrance.
There were about 60 students, rabbis and guests in the building at the time, the state news agency RIA-Novosti reported. No one was injured.

Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky swept to victory in Ukraine’s presidential election Sunday, an exit poll showed, as millions of voters weary of war and economic hardship rebuked the ruling elites and ushered in fresh uncertainty for their geopolitically pivotal nation.
Zelensky, a 41-year-old TV star with no political experience, won 73% of the vote in the runoff election, according to national exit poll results broadcast by Ukrainian television.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe said the suspects were “local.” He told reporters that elements of the government had prior intelligence about the attacks.

Mazal tov to @IsraeliPM @netanyahu, who I’ve known since he was a student at MIT. Waiting for the new peace plan to be implemented. Time for a fair two-state solution that assures Israel’s security.
That was too much for Boteach. How dare I express my views to my friend. I should be expressing Boteach’s views. After all, he is a know-it-all when it comes to Israel’s security. Here is what Boteach wrote:
