Bereaved relatives heckled Prime Minister Naftali Bennett when he was called to the podium to speak during the national Yom HaZikaron memorial ceremony on Har Herzl on Wednesday. The relatives called out: “You should be ashamed! You’re a con man. Get out of here. Shut your mouth. You established a government with the greatest of our enemies, we don’t want you,” and other similar comments. The heckling continued for at least five minutes, during which Bennett continued to stand there and listen. He responded by saying: “The bereaved families are sacred. They’re allowed to scream and express their pain. Beloved families, I love you greatly. I hear your pain.” Earlier on Wednesday Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked was also heckled and responded similarly. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

A fast-moving fire left a home in Monsey destroyed, but thankfully, no one was injured. The fire started at around 6:00PM at 19 Main Street, just next door to Motty’s Supermarket. The Fire Department, Rockland Hatzolah and Rockland Chaveirim all received multiple calls reporting the fire. Chaveirim and Hatzolah arrived first on the scene, and both assisted in evacuating multiple elderly occupants from the home. Eyewitnesses told YWN that Hatzolah and Chaveirim volunteers literally saved the lives of the occupants of the home. Bichasdei Hashem, no injuries were reported. In an interesting twist, Motty’s Supermarket – which is located next door – burned down around 7 months ago. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

About 2,000 mispallelim davened at the Kosel on Tuesday morning for Rosh Chodesh Kislev. However, unfortunately, the tefillah was disturbed by a small group of about ten women of the Women of the Wall organization who once again tried to smuggle a Sefer Torah into the Kosel plaza, in violation of the decisions of Israel’s Supreme Court and Attorney-General. The representatives of the Women of the Wall arrived at Shaar Ha’Ashpot and carried out a protest holding a Sefer Torah until the entrance to the Kosel. Their entrance was blocked by the Kosel Heritage Foundation’s security guards but the women refused to concede and a skirmish broke out at the scene.
