In late February, the chassidus reported that the Rebbe has suffered a minor stroke at the beginning of the month.

Sephardic Chief Rabbi, HaRav Yitzchak Yosef visited Flatbush Hatzolah headquarters on Thursday night. Rav Yosef who is currently on a brief trip to the United States visiting Yeshivos and Batei Midrashim in Brooklyn, felt it was important to devote some of his time to giving Chizuk to the volunteers of Hatzolah. A large number of Hatzolah volunteers are learning Daf Hayomi together, and a Siyum had been planned for Thursday night. When Rav Yosef learned of the Hatzolah Siyum , he requested to attend this momentous occasion. Well over 100 Hatzolah members gathered to greet the Chief Rabbi, who arrived in a motorcade of NYPD and Flatbush Shomrim. Flatbush Hatolah Posek HaRav David Cohen was at the garage to greet him, and was photographed bending down to kiss the Chief Rabbi’s hand.

Shin Bet head Ronen Bar visited the home of HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein in Bnei Brak on Wednesday evening, Hebrew media sites reported on Thursday. Bar arrived with several security guards in a civilian car, parking in the Rosh Yeshivah’s parking space so that he could enter the building immediately without anyone seeing him, and quietly slipped into the Rosh Yeshivah’s apartment. No photos were published of the meeting. According to a JDN report, Bar spoke with the Rosh Yeshivah about several topics but mainly about the integration of Chareidim into several Shin Bet projects that are important to the security of the state. A number of Chareidim are currently employed by the Shin Bet [and the Mossad] and are involved in significant security activities for the state.

The leaders of the “struggle against judicial reform” announced that despite the suspension of the legislation, the weekly Motzei Shabbos protest at the Kaplan intersection in Tel Aviv will take place as usual. The organizers said that the protest on Motzei Shabbos will be against the Chareidim and against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s plan to establish a National Guard to improve security for Israeli citizens, an idea suggested by then-prime minister Naftali Bennett during the previous government. They issued a statement, saying: “Our struggle has brought all the issues of the security, economic and social burden of the State of Israel to the streets.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday slammed US President Joe Biden for meddling in Israel’s domestic affairs following his comments to the press on Tuesday about the “health of democracy” in Israel. “It’s outrageous for Joe Biden to lecture Israel on a matter that is entirely their domestic concern,” Haley stated. “We would never want the Israeli government to push America on issues surrounding our Supreme Court, and they wouldn’t do it. “We should let Israelis decide this themselves,” Haley asserted. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio went even further than Haley, saying that Biden’s interference in Israeli internal affairs places it at heightened risk of being attacked by its enemies.
