Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman has filed a criminal complaint with the police against Rav Yitzchok Yosef, the former Sephardic chief rabbi, along with several senior chareidi rabbinic figures. The complaint centers around their open calls urging bochurim in yeshivos to refuse orders to report for IDF service—actions Liberman says blatantly break the law.
Speaking to The Times of Israel, Lieberman explained that he had twice appealed to the Attorney General and the national police to take legal action against these prominent rabbonim. “If there is no response to the second letter, then we will turn to the High Court of Justice,” he said at a press briefing held before Yisrael Beytenu’s weekly Knesset gathering.

Rav Dov Landau has finalized the launch date and structure for the second global fundraising campaign under the banner of Keren Olam HaTorah. The major initiative is set to begin on Sunday, 19 Sivan, and will span approximately ten days across various U.S. states, with potential follow-up events in other countries across North and South America, as well as Europe.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Reb Simcha Yissachar Dov Steinmetz z”l, a prominent member of the Spinka chassidus and longtime rosh hakahal of the Ner Baruch Linz Bais Medrash in Boro Park. He was 100 years old.
Born in the Hungarian town of Tetch to his father Rav Yechiel Michl Steinmetz zt”l, Reb Simcha survived the horrors of the Holocaust as a true ud mutzal mei’eish. He was a talmid of the Shefa Chaim of Sanz and carried the legacy of his rebbi with him throughout his life.
In the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, he succeeded in rebuilding and establishing a flourishing Torah home and family.

The assault on the Torah world shows no signs of slowing. In a move drawing fierce backlash, Israel’s Attorney General has decided to penalize the children of yungeleit who are considered draft-dodgers by revoking their previously granted priority status in admissions to government-supervised daycare centers, where space is already extremely limited.
According to a report by Liel Kaiser on Kan News, this new directive would effectively relegate these children to the bottom of the list for admission, placing them at a severe disadvantage due to the state’s classification of their fathers as “lawbreakers.”

In a discreet and unpublicized visit, National Unity party leader MK Benny Gantz met last night with the Skverer Rebbe in New York.
The meeting, held late Monday night, took place at the Rebbe’s home in the Skverer enclave of Shikun Skver in New York.
Gantz, currently in the United States, reportedly met with the Rebbe at the request of the chassidus. The visit was kept under tight secrecy, with Gantz entering the home through a back entrance. The conversation between the two lasted approximately forty minutes.
In keeping with the confidential nature of the encounter, Skverer officials have declined to comment on any part of the meeting.

The chareidi city of Charish is in turmoil following the recent arrest and criminal indictment of Mayor Yitzchak Keshet on serious charges—sparking renewed attention to a stark warning delivered four years ago by the raavad, Rav Yehuda Silman.
