Hundreds of people participated in a levayah Tuesday for hundreds of bones that were discovered in a burial cave near Yericho, dated to the time of the Second Beis Hamikdash. The bones were scattered outside the cave, which had been bulldozed by Arabs who were doing illegal agricultural work.
The cave was found by hikers a few days before Pesach. The hikers were in the area of the Hasmonean Palaces, near Yericho, where they noticed the tractor work being done by Arab laborers in a protected archaeological area. When surveying the damage, the hikers discovered the dug up bones.

Al Sharpton spoke at an event for Reform Jews and acknowledged how his “cheap” rhetoric stoked divisions with the Jewish community, publicly acknowledging his role for the incendiary rhetoric that helped fuel the deadly Crown Heights riots in 1991, which led to the death of Yankel Rosenbaum hy”d.
Without mentioning the Crown Heights riots specifically, Sharpton said he could have “done more to heal rather than harm.” And he said that all the public criticism he received paled next to the rebuke from Coretta Scott King, who was known for her closeness to the Jewish community. It appears to be the first time Sharpton has publicly shared the tale.

Israeli former spy Jonathan Pollard, who spent 30 years in jail in the United States, gave one of his first media interviews after his release almost four years ago.
Despite strict parole conditions prohibiting him from speaking to the press, Pollard is opened up to reporters, complaining that the Israeli leadership doesn’t care about him.
“If you don’t care about someone like myself, who spent 30 years in prison on behalf of the land and people of Israel, then how much concern can you actually show or exhibit or feel towards anybody in the country, from our soldiers to our civilians?” he says.

Leadership and Marketing Update from H. LEINER & CO.
What’s your lucky number?
8! There should no more than 8 people at a meeting for it to be productive.
More than 8 people doesn’t allow everyone to participate, causes people to be reluctant to share their ideas, and allows for too many side conversations to distract from the main goals of the meeting.
Be thoughtful with your invite list and only invite the people who will be helpful additions at the meeting. Who has information to share? Who will be impacted by the decision? Who will be implementing the decision? Who will learn from participating?
Share with your team that you will be making changes to the meetings to limit the number to 8 people attending.
