A spokesman for the Jordanian Foreign Ministry warned on Tuesday that a change of the status quo on the Har Habayis would have serious consequences. The statement came in response to Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan saying during an interview Tuesday that he saw “an injustice in the status quo” that “we need to work to change.”
The official Petra news agency reported that Jordan rejects Erdan’s comments, and had sent a letter of protest to Israel through diplomatic channels.

A group of people captured footage of a giant black bear breaking out of a mini van by smashing through the driver seat window.
It is unclear how the bear entered the van in the first place. Bear sightings have become common in the Monsey area in recent years as the animals have been forced to leave their mountain habitats in search for food.
Police are warning residents to keep away from bears and to not approach them under any circumstances.

Dear Matzav,
We would like to publicly thank Rav Yosef Wikler, editor-in-chief of the KASHRUS Magazine for all his help and for directing us to Rabbi Aaron Metzger, the New York State Kashrus inspector, who immediately took action and traveled on Wednesday, August 14, to investigate the 24-Hour Bistro restaurant located in World Resort Casino.
In the course of the investigation, Rabbi Metzger has had the kashrus certificate removed and prohibited the casino from displaying any signs indicating that kosher food is served on the premises.
All kosher signs in the casino have been removed and there is no kosher food served at the World Resort Casino.

The leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, said on Tuesday that during the next round of fighting between Israel and Hamas the terrorist organization would rain “hundreds of rockets” on the Jewish state at a time. Hamas claimed in June to have overwhelmed Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system with concentrated rocket salvos.
Sinwar’s remarks came during a meeting with residents of Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Tuesday evening, where he discussed Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz’s statement last week that Israel’s next round of fighting with Hamas “would be the last.”

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas apparently backed out of a meeting with a 31-member GOP delegation at the last minute on Tuesday, sending other senior officials to meet them in his stead.
The incident comes just a week after Abbas met a 41-member Democratic delegation led by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), during which he said he would not accept American “dictates.”
Abbas’s P.A. has boycotted the U.S. administration ever since President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December 2017.
Though PLO General Secretary Saeb Erekat and P.A. Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh were sent to meet the Republicans, several legislators opted not to go to Ramallah after Abbas announced his cancellation.

One of the profoundly moving moments at the Dirshu Siyum Hashas in Yerushalayim in 2012, was when Reb Avrohom Bleeman, the father-in-law of Dirshu’s Nasi, Rav Dovid Hofstedter got up in front of thousands of yidden gathered at the siyum and sang a moving song that was taught to him by the great Rav Meir Shapiro, founder of Yeshivas Chachmei Lubin and the Daf HaYomi.
In the 1920’s Rav Meir Shapiro visited the small town of Drildz, Poland. He gathered all of the children in the town and taught them this poignant niggun in Yiddish. Reb Avrohom, a Holocaust survivor-may he be well- was one of those children. He has never forgotten it.

The Regional Planning Committee of the City of Yerushalayim, headed by Attorney Amir Shaked, ratified the plans for the expansion of United Hatzalah’s national headquarters in the Romema neighborhood. According to the plans submitted by the organization, the building will be expanded by adding six additional floors to the existing four floors.
The building is situated on the corner of Yirmiyahu and Ohaliav streets, opposite the Health Ministry building. The plans call for the addition of 3,000 square meters to the building that will allow the organization to expand its activities and increase the quality of training for its volunteers. The plans were drafted by Architect Michal De Lafergola.

Police in Germany are investigating an incident at an airport in Berlin in which a passenger wearing a Star of David necklace was allegedly subjected to antisemitic abuse by a member of staff during check-in.
The incident took place at Berlin’s Tegel Airport last Saturday. The passenger, reported to be a 50-year-old Spanish man who lives in the German capital, was attempting to board a flight with discount airline Easyjet to the island of Menorca. At the check-in counter, he became embroiled in argument with a female attendant over additional baggage fees. The female employee is alleged to have directed antisemitic insults at the passenger in both English and Arabic, before preventing him from getting on the flight.

In anticipation of their upcoming accounting course, PCS spoke to Yitzy Simon, a current student.  
Can you tell us about the job market.
I was looking to join a bigger firm- I’ve found that there are a lot of opportunities out there. The hard part is gaining access to those opportunities because you are up against some serious competition.
That’s where the PCS networking comes in. For people looking to join smaller firms, PCS has connections to help students get hired. In the bigger firms, PCS serves as the platform for networking to help connect students to the right people to help you get hired.
