Ryan Newman was involved in a ghastly crash on the final lap of the Daytona 500 on Monday night, hospitalizing him with non-life-threatening injuries. NASCAR delivered the news nearly two hours after Newman was extricated from his car, saying he is in serious condition at nearby Halifax Medical Center. The wait for the update was excruciating for fellow NASCAR drivers and fans across auto racing who spent the time wondering how seriously he was hurt. Safety crews rushed to Newman’s No. 6 Ford and worked to get the 42-year-old driver out of his seat. The car was on fire as it skidded to a stop and had to be turned onto its tires first. Fox opted not to broadcast Newman’s removal, which was shielded by large black screens put up by track crews.

Tiveria’s residents rejoiced on Monday following the news that former Tiveria mayor Ron Kobi’s ouster from his position was finalized after the Supreme Court rejected the appeal he filed against the decision of Likud Minister Ze’ev Elkin last month to remove Kobi from office. “Today we’re seeing [Kobi’s downfall] in practice but the matter was already sealed in Shamayim prior to today,” one of the students of the mekubal Harav Dov Kook, a resident of Tiveria, said, according to a B’Chadrei Chareidim report. The student said that two months ago, Harav Kook recited tikkun chatzos, as he customarily does every night, and his student who stood near him suddenly heard the Rav repeating the name of Tiveria in all the pessukim. “Suddenly I saw a startling sight,” Harav Kook’s student said.
