Historic letter by leading Rabbonim in America in support of President Trump is released ahead of the elections. The letter which includes the signatures of the Admorim of Pupa, Bobov, Munkach, Vizhnitz, Skver, Rachmistrivka, both Satmar Rebbes, the Dayan of the Crown Heights Bais Din as well as the Rosh Hayeshiva of Lakewood, Philadelphia, and South Fallsburg is an unprecedented joint letter of appreciation and blessing, spearheaded by Rabbi Moshe Margareten of the Tzedek Association. The letter was first drafted in the summer and signatories were added until recently and signed by an unprecedented union of Rabbonim before being publicly released tonight.

A spokesman says Vice President Mike Pence will continue with his aggressive campaign schedule after his chief of staff, Marc Short, tested positive for the coronavirus Saturday. Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley says Pence and his wife, Karen Pence, both tested negative for the virus on Saturday and remain in good health.

Israel’s Health Ministry confirmed 692 new coronavirus cases on Motzei Shabbos, with a positivity test rate of 2.6%. There are currently 15,876 active virus cases, with 552 seriously ill patients, of whom 218 are ventilated. A total of 47 deaths were confirmed since Thursday, raising the death toll to 2,366. Dozens of Israeli pre-school teachers tested positive for COVID-19 as teachers across the country were tested last week as pre-schools and daycares reopened. In Herzliya, dozens of children from several ganim in the city were forced to enter quarantine after a ganennet began working before receiving her test results. Unfortunately, her result turned out to be positive, wreaking havoc on the dozens of children who were in contact with her and their parents.

President Trump voted in West Palm Beach Saturday — Florida’s first day of in-person early voting — telling reporters “I voted for a guy named “Trump.” Trump arrived at the Palm Beach County Main Library shortly before 10 a.m. “There were supporters on the stretch of road just outside of Mar-a-Lago and right around the library waving and cheering, several Trump 2020 signs,” according to a pool report.” After Trump voted and left the polling room, he said, “It was a very secure vote, much more secure than when you send in a ballot. Everything was perfect. Right by the rules. It’s an honor to be voting … I voted for a guy named ‘Trump.” Trump arrived in Florida Friday night, spending the night at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals in the run-up to Election Day. The deal, which would deepen Sudan’s engagement with the West, follows Trump’s conditional agreement this week to remove the North African nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation to American victims of terror attacks. It also delivers a foreign policy achievement for Trump just days before the U.S. election and boosts his embattled ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Recently, the United States brokered diplomatic pacts between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Jordan recognized Israel in the 1990s.

Rav Meir Turnheim, a Chabbad chassid who lives in Lod, Israel, has successfully predicted the results of political elections in Israel and throughout the world with great accuracy, with his most notable predictions being Trump’s victory in 2016 against all odds and Netanyahu’s unexpected victory in 2015. Most recently, as YWN reported, he predicted that Netanyahu will win the Israeli elections in March. Rav Turnheim, who has successfully predicted the results of every Israeli election since 1996, bases his predictions on a specific complex method of singling out letters from one passuk in the parsha read in the week of the elections in the section read on the day of the elections. So who will win the upcoming U.S. election?

Palestinian official Saeb Erekat, who is being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem for COVID-19, underwent a bronchoscopy on Wednesday to examine the condition of his respiratory system, his daughter said. As Erekat receives top medical care in Israel, like many other issues, it has been a source of controversy among the Israeli public, with some supporting it as an expression of Israel’s morality and focus on the sanctity of life and others slamming it as completely immoral.

President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden are set to square off in their final debate Thursday, one of the last high-profile opportunities for the trailing incumbent to change the trajectory of an increasingly contentious campaign. On Thursday night, in an effort to curtail interruptions, Trump and Biden will each have his microphone cut off while his rival delivers an opening two-minute answer to each of the six debate topics, the commission announced. The structure of Thursday’s debate will be the same as the first debate: Each segment will last about 15 minutes, and the candidates will have two minutes to respond after the moderator opens each segment with a question.

While the world will be closely watching the U.S. election, some countries will be watching more closely than others. A number of world leaders have a personal stake in the outcome, with their fortunes depending heavily on the success – or failure – of President Donald Trump. Perhaps none has so much riding on a Trump victory as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli leader, who had a rocky relationship with President Barack Obama, has praised Trump as “the greatest friend” Israel ever had in the White House. Trump has delivered a series of diplomatic gifts to Netanyahu, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, withdrawing from Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran and offering a Mideast plan that heavily favors Israel over the Palestinians.
