Just off the heart of Boro Park’s modern shopping center on Thirteenth Avenue, past the electronic shops and boutique cafes, stands a sukkah that would have fit in perfectly in 16th century Amsterdam or ancient Warsaw.
A windmill rolls lazily outside the doors made of oak panels and red brick. The exterior appears to be made of mud pressed together, with hints of early-age Native American adobe huts. A red lantern hangs from a window, its flickering lights casting a soft shadow over the yard. In this sukkah, time is standing still.

Yahadut Torah (UTJ) appealed the results of the 22nd Knesset election in which it lost out on an eighth Knesset seat by just a few dozen votes.

Following Wednesday’s deadly attack outside a German synagogue, Israel’s UN envoy has called on the international community to “declare war on antisemitism.”Ambassador Danny Danon urged the president of the Security Council and the UN to “condemn the terrorist attack in Germany and take action against anti-Semitic terrorism.”
“The scourge of anti-Semitism is spreading in Europe, but threatens the entire world,” Danon said. “The international community must declare war on anti-Semitism and act firmly to end hatred of the Jewish people around the world. Jews should not have to look over their shoulders in fear for their lives during prayer.”

Hillary Clinton told a PBS reporter that she could win against President Trump in a 2020 rematch after he mockingly urged her to run again.
“I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren,” Trump said Tuesday on Twitter. “Only one condition. The Crooked one must explain all of her high crimes and misdemeanors including how & why she deleted 33,000 Emails AFTER getting ‘C’ Subpoena!”
“Don’t tempt me. Do your job,” Clinton said in response to the tweet.
Clinton, 71, told PBS reporter Judy Woodruff that she would win in 2020 if she ran.
“So maybe there does need to be a re-match. I mean obviously I can beat him again,” Clinton said, seemingly forgetting the results of the 2016 elections.

A woman in Portland, Ore., marked her 50th birthday last week by donating a kidney to a fellow Jewish mother.
Elissa Wald, a former resident of New York, was inspired to give her kidney to someone in need after hearing a speech from a rabbi.
She told The New York Post, “My dream was always to give a kidney to a young mother with a young child,” adding that she sometimes “lived in fear” of leaving her two children too early without a mom. She said, “My idea was to take someone out of that situation.”
Wald, who celebrated a birthday on Sept. 23, joked that when people asked what she was doing for her birthday, she responded: “I’m hoping to donate a kidney.”
