In the midst of his whirlwind week-long Florida governor’s business development mission to Israel with more than 100 delegation participants, Gov. Ron DeSantis visited the Gush Etzion region, just south of Jerusalem and over the Green Line. His purpose was to meet with community leaders and small-business owners who are on the front lines as targets of the anti-Israel BDS movement.

Gavriel Lavi, who was seriously injured in the stabbing attack that took place earlier this morning in the Old City, underwent surgery at Shaare Tzedek Hospital and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
His wife, Nilli, told reporters that their family will not cower in the face of terrorism.
“We will continue to walk through Shaar Shchem. We won’t let them restrict us. I’m sure Gavriel will overcome this and stand on his feet again,” Nilli, said.

United States Chargé d’Affaires in Iraq Joey Hood and Consul General Steve Fagin visited a traditional tomb of the novi Nochum and his sister located inside an ancient shul in Alqosh, 30 miles north of Mosul.
The city was abandoned by its Jewish population after 1948. Until then, the kever was a major pilgrimage site, particularly on Shavuos.
Hood announced an additional $500,000 in funding to preserve the historic tomb, which was in danger of collapse until the completion of initial stabilization work in January last year by the Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust welcomed Nobuki Sugihara for an evening in conversation with journalist Ann Curry on May 22, 2019. Sugihara’s father, Chiune Sugihara, was a Japanese diplomat serving in Lithuania when it became clear that he could – at great risk to himself and his family – grant life-saving transit visas to desperate Jews trying to flee Nazi-occupied Europe during several frantic weeks in 1940. Of the 6,000 Jews he helped rescue, he said, “They were human beings and they needed help.”

In front of an overflowing audience, Nobuki recounted his father’s extraordinary story and met with 170 “Sugihara visa” survivors and their descendants, who are alive thanks to his selfless acts.
