Matzav.com underwent a major upgrade by switching to a new hosting provider early this morning.

“The new server is faster and easier to maintain,” says Tzvi Arnstein, president at Nextbracket, a leading web design & eCommerce firm. This will translate to a better experience for readers and lower overhead costs for Matzav.com, a real win-win.

Also noteworthy is that along with the server upgrade, Matzav.com now runs on the HTTPS protocol, which provides 256 bit SSL encryption for more secure browsing.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Shlomo Teitelbaum zt”l, rov of Khal Adas Yereim of Kew Gardens, NY. He was 77.

Deputy Health Minister MK Yaakov Litzman said at a conference on Tuesday evening that coalition negotiations with the Likud were still ongoing.
“We have not yet finished as of this evening with the principle issues, such as enlistment, Shabbos, and education and I am not even talking about money. We are in the midst of the negotiations. We will approve the text of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, we will not approve anything else, both on the issue of Shabbos and on education,” said Litzman, according to the Bechadrei Charedim news website.

A 22-year-old Jewish Russian woman was murdered in Moscow last week, allegedly by a shuttle driver, an Israeli report said Tuesday night.
Rivka (Irena) Tsipishev disappeared last Friday after getting on a shuttle that was supposed to take her home, the report said. Police investigations eventually led to the arrest of the shuttle driver, who told authorities where to locate the body.
Tsipishev was buried Tuesday, in a funeral attended by family, friends, Jewish community members and Russia’s chief rabbi Berel Lazar.
“Rivka was a special person with a special soul,” said Lazar, who had accompanied Tsipishev — along with a thousand other young Russian Jews — on a trip to Italy that ended last week.
