More than 11,000 people have signed a petition urging the Canadian government to reverse its vote in favor of an annual United Nations resolution that deems the Western Wall and other sites of Jewish worship occupied Palestinian territories.
The General Assembly motion in question, which passed on Tuesday afternoon, describes east Jerusalem — home to the Temple Mount and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City — “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” without recognizing any Israeli claims to the land. It also condemned the construction of the West Bank security barrier, which was erected following a Palestinian campaign of suicide bombings and other attacks targeting civilians.

Rav Yaakov Leizer, the Pshevorsker Rebbe, also known as Reb Yankele of Antwerp (1907-1999). Born in the small village of Roig near Riminov in Galicia, he joined the yeshiva in the town of Dukla after his bar mitzvah. Among those who learned there were Reb Yekusiel Halberstam (the future Klausenberger Rebbe) and Reb Pinchos Hirshprung (the future Rav of Montreal). From Dukla, Reb Yankele moved on to Yeshivas Zera Kodesh in Koloshitz. Staying there from 1924 to 1939, Reb Yankele regarded the Koloshitzer Rav as his Rebbe and mentor. His first position was as Rav of Yashlisk, at the age of 24. After his marriage to the daughter of Reb Itzikel, the Rebbe of Pshevorsk in 1934, he lived in the shadow of his shver for the next forty years.

Public prosecutors in Belgium announced on Friday that they had backed away from legal action against four soccer fans who were caught on film chanting a violently antisemitic song, drawing an angry protest from the country’s sole Orthodox Jewish parliamentarian.
The four identified fans were among a larger group of supporters of the FC Brugge soccer club who were recorded singing the offensive chant in the team’s stadium. The incident occurred on Aug. 26 last year, following a top-flight match between Brugge and rival Anderlecht. Celebrating Brugge’s victory in that contest, the fans chanted the words: “My father was in the commandos/My mother was in the SS/Together they burned the Jews/Because the Jews burn best.”

A man was arrested on Saturday evening after a viral video showed a Jewish family being harassed and “targeted with anti-Semitic abuse” on the London Underground, British Transport Police said.
The man, whose name was not released, was taken into custody in Birmingham on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.
The incident was recorded by a fellow passenger on a Northern Line train midday Friday and drew public outcry on social media.
In the video, a man is seen loudly reading a passage from the New Testament that addresses “them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,” while pointing to a kippah-clad Jewish man who was traveling with his wife and three young children.

A Philippine Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after on of the engines on the Boeing 777 caught fire shortly after takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday.
Witnesses on the ground reported seeing flames coming from one of the plane’s engines.
Andrew Ames was headed west on the 105 freeway near the airport when he spotted the plane in the sky.
“From where I was, I could see the back of the plane and it looked like it was backfiring,” he said. “I was thinking, ‘I’ve never seen backfire on a plane.’ It was just flame, flame, flame.”
Ames watched as the plane turned left very quickly back in the direction of the airport.

After being hospitalized Friday night with chills and a fever, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released Sunday and is at home “doing well,” according to a short statement from the Supreme Court.
The court provided no additional details. It announced in a press release Saturday evening that the 86-year-old justice had been seen Friday night at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C., and then transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for treatment of a possible infection.
“With intravenous antibiotics and fluids, her symptoms have abated,” the court said in the Saturday release.
The health of Ginsburg, the leader of the court’s liberal wing, is a matter of constant attention and speculation.

As the global bee population continues to decline, some students are trying to make sure we do not run out of honey. A delegation of students from Israeli research university Technion Israel Institute of Technology has been working for the past year to create honey in a lab, without bees. The synthetic honey is made by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, which “learns” to produce the honey after being reprogrammed in the lab, Shira Levi, a biotechnology and food engineering Technion student, said in a Monday interview with Calcalist.
