The Nachal Dovid spring in the Ein Gedi nature reserve near the Dead Sea is one of the most frequented sites in Israel. On Thursday morning, the site was full of families spending their last days together before the start of the school year, when suddenly a deadly rockslide occurred – an unprecedented occurrence in the area, at least in past decades. Eight-year-old Yehudah Levi, z’l, was killed, and his mother and sister were lightly injured. Among the wounded were the children of the Bar-David family. Levi Bar-David, 8, spoke to the press from Soroka Hospital about how he saved the life of his five-year-old sister. “We were close to the end of the route and we reached a waterfall and suddenly an avalanche of rocks fell on us,” he said.

Bnei Brak Rabbanim published a letter ahead of the planned provocative women’s march in the city on Thursday evening, during which main streets will closed off for five hours on the busiest night of the week. The letter, signed by Rabbanim HaRav Yitzchak Chaim Issac Landau, HaRav Shevach Rosenblatt, and HaRav Masoud Ben-Shimon states: “Unfortunately, people from outside the city have stirred themselves to hold protests on our streets and make their voices loudly heard in mockery against the those who are Shomrei Torah V’Mitzvos and against tznius and kedushah.” “We are turning to the entire public, men, women, and children – no one should be dragged into a confrontation with them at all.

A rockslide occurred at the Nachal Dovid waterfall at the Ein Gedi nature reserve on Thursday morning, injuring at least 9 hikers, including a 5-year-old boy who died of his injuries shortly later.

As an introvert, both in-person and online, I rarely bother to make my opinion heard. I live my life and hope others will live theirs too, without sticking their nose into others’ business. However, there has to be line somewhere, and it was just crossed. I was sent a video yesterday that was so appalling to me that I must speak up. I don’t know how long this video has been circulating social media, nor do I care. It has to be called out regardless. The video, which I have included here, shows a group of bochurim apparently partaking in the levaya for a meis mitzvah. When I first opened it, I thought tragedy had struck: perhaps the well-meaning boys dropped the aron. But that’s not what happened.

Rudy Giuliani delivered a fervent address denouncing what he called the “enemies of our republic.” As he embarked on a journey from New York City to Georgia to address the charges brought against him in Fulton County, Giuliani expressed his commitment to fighting for justice. Giuliani, along with 18 other co-conspirators, is facing indictment on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges. These charges stem from their alleged involvement in elaborate schemes aimed at overturning the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Amidst a throng of reporters on Wednesday, Giuliani shared his perspective before boarding his flight at the airport. “I don’t know how many times he has to be proven innocent and they have to be proven to be liars.

Former attorney for Donald Trump, John Eastman, reiterated his stance on the contested 2020 presidential election shortly after surrendering himself for arrest at a detention facility in the Atlanta area. MSNBC reporter Ali Vitali engaged Eastman in a brief exchange moments after he faced charges for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, along with Donald Trump and other associates. “Do you still think the election was stolen?” Vitali inquired. “Absolutely,” Eastman promptly responded, firm in his belief. “No question, no question at all.” Despite this assertion, Eastman refrained from commenting on other specifics pertaining to his legal situation.
