A recently declassified document reveals that the CIA allegedly confirmed the existence of “the Ark of the Covenant” – meaning the Aron Hakodesh – through a remote viewing session. This mysterious process, known as extrasensory perception (ESP), supposedly uncovered that the Aron is protected by “entities” possessing an “unknown” power.
On December 5, 1988, a remote viewer identified only as #32 was instructed to find a target without knowing what it was. As it turned out, this target was the Aron, according to a document released on August 8, 2000, which has recently resurfaced online.

No, this article is not about the new affinity for electric cars that seems to have taken hold in the frum community. Everywhere you go, you see frum Yidden driving electric cars, Telsas or otherwise. In truth, this has nothing to do with Elon Musk nor does it indicate any new “green” environmentalism that has gripped us. It is pure economics. If the government wants to basically give away electric cars for half price, it is worth it.

MK Ahmad Tibi (Ta’al) stirred controversy in the Knesset after a photo emerged showing him using official Knesset utensils, which are reserved for kosher use, to eat non-kosher food during a pre-dawn Ramadan meal. In his defense, Tibi quoted the Shulchan Aruch to justify his actions.
Amid the backlash, Tibi shared a pointedly sarcastic social media post referencing halachic rulings. “When the food was cold – it does not cause the utensil to be prohibited,” he wrote. He then cited Shulchan Aruch Yoreh De’ah: “Cold – it does not cause and does not absorb.” He ended the post with the tongue-in-cheek sign-off: “Rabbis supporting Tibi.”

[Full kol koreh below.] Moments ago, the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of America issued a kol koreh prohibiting participation in the upcoming elections for the World Zionist Organization (WZO). The statement, issued in Hebrew and English, emphasizes the importance of adhering to Torah principles and distancing oneself from any movements that undermine Judaism.

MK Ahmad Tibi (Ta’al) shared a photo on his Instagram story showing himself and other MKs eating non-kosher food from Knesset dishes at their Ramadan pre-fast meal. In the image posted by Tibi, he is pictured using dishes from the Knesset’s kosher cafeteria to consume food that does not meet kosher standards.
This post sparked outrage among MKs and Knesset staff, with many expressing their view that it was an affront to the religious values and kashrus regulations within the Knesset.
The Betsalmo organization reached out to the Knesset Ethics Committee, calling for Tibi to face severe repercussions for what they considered a breach of Knesset rules.

In the backdrop of the ongoing controversy surrounding the Israeli draft law, thousands of members from the Peleg Yerushalmi gathered in a show of solidarity and support for a yeshiva student, Baruch Yitzchakov, who is currently imprisoned.
Yitzchakov, a talmid at the Yeshivas Meoros HaTorah, was arrested last week by police for refusing to enlist in the army and cooperate with military authorities.
The gathering took place outside the walls of Prison 10, organized by the Committee for the Salvation of Torah Study and led by key figures from the faction, including Rav Ezriel Auerbach and Rav Yonah Zelushinsky.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Reb Shimon Edelstein z”l at the age of 52. A lifelong resident of Flatbush, Reb Shimmy was a beloved figure in the Torah community, known for his exceptional Torah scholarship and commitment to limud haTorah.
He was the son of Rabbi and Mrs. Mordechai Yitzchok Edelstein, whose dedication to Torah and avodas Hashem shaped his character.
A talmid of Yeshiva Torah Temimah in Brooklyn, Reb Shimmy had the privilege of learning under some of the esteemed rabbeim, including Rav Shlomo Feivel Schustal with whom he had a special kesher.
