Still, the markings of Daf Yomi’s exponential growth could already be clearly seen. In a scale unprecedented at the time, both Madison Square Garden and Nassau Coliseum in New York, plus satellite locations worldwide, were filled with celebrants of The Agudah’s 10th Siyum Hashas of Daf Yomi.

The British government declared a top-performing Jewish school to be “inadequate” because it teaches girls and boys separately.
King David High School in the Manchester area was downgraded this year by Ofsted, the British government’s regulator authority for education, the Manchester Evening News reported last week.
It had been rated by Ofsted as “outstanding” in keeping with its being one of the top-rated and best-performing high schools in the country but was found to be practicing “unlawful segregation” of pupils “on the grounds of faith and belief and sex.”
The school of 800 pupils may be shut down if it continues to be found inadequate in subsequent inspections.

“I heard a cry of ‘Allahu akhbar!’ about a meter away, a Petach Tikva resident related. “I turned my head and saw an Arab coming towards me, wearing a Jerusalem municipality jacket and holding what looked like a knife. It was obvious that he was coming to stab me.”
“I immediately grabbed a restaurant chair and slammed it into his head. He fell. Two police officers ran out of the nearby restaurant and arrested the suspect as a terrorist, and took him for interrogation and to further clarify the incident.
“It was a huge miracle that I noticed in time and managed to save myself and those around me.”

Two philanthropists donated more than $4 million to security for Jews in Malmo, Sweden.
Lennart Blecher, who is Jewish, and Dan Olofsson, who is not, decided to donate the total sum to “instill some hope in the Jewish population, so they feel that even if the politicians do not want to do something, there are people who are prepared to stand up for them,” Olofsson told Dagens Nyheter Sunday.
The announcement prompted some criticism about the community’s need for philanthropy to cover its security costs, which the municipality does not fully cover.

Thousands participated Wednesday evening in the emotional procession marking the return of the four sifrei Torah that were stolen last week from the Tiferes Shimon shul (Orchos Torah alumni) on Rechov Rabi Akiva in Bnei Brak.
The procession left from the house of the late Rosh Yeshivah, Hagaon Harav Aharon Leib Shteinman, zt”l, who was the Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshivas Orchos Torah.
Many Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshivah also participated in the hachnasas sifrei Torah.
Border Police located the four sifrei Torah in a PA town in the Shomron Sunday, and they were later identified as the ones stolen from the shul on Bnei Brak’s Rabi Akiva Street last Monday night. The sifrei Torah were in good condition and showed no signs of desecration.
