QUESTION:  Does Rav Moshe Feinstein’s leniency of chalav stam (milk that is supervised by government inspectors) apply to cheese? Is there such a thing as gevina stam? ANSWER: Shulchan Aruch (YD 115:2) writes that if a nochri makes cheese using herbs, even if one can tell that the cheese was made with herbs and not with rennet, it is considered gevinas Akum. The Rema writes that the general custom is like Shulchan Aruch. He adds that there were places (such as Narbonne) where they had a tradition to be lenient, but if one does not have this tradition it is forbidden to be lenient. In places without a lenient tradition, even if it is known that cheese was made with herbs, the Rema ruled that it is forbidden since a Yisroel did not supervise the cheesemaking.

IDF officials have decided that Greta Thunberg’s “Aid ship” will not be allowed even close to Gaza.

In a pointed message, Rav Avrohom Yehoshua Soloveitchik, rosh yeshiva of the Brisk Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, addressed a group of new talmidim and urged them to refrain from davening in the shtieblach of Zichron Moshe, warning that doing so often leads to bitul zman (wasted time).

In a quiet neighborhood in Eretz Yisrael, a hardworking father, R’ Dovid Elgarabli, is desperately trying to do what every father dreams of—walk his son to the chuppah. But with crushing debts, medical crises, and a household of ten children, it feels impossible. R’ Dovid works over 12 hours a day as a bus driver, while his devoted wife is fully occupied caring for their sick child, shuttling between doctors and hospitals. The bills have piled up, and the family is constantly at risk of having their electricity and water shut off due to unpaid balances. Now, with just six weeks left to the chasunah, they don’t even have the bare minimum to begin preparing. The chosson and kallah have promised to daven and mention the names of donors under the chuppah.

President Trump issued a new proclamation on Wednesday that bans foreign nationals from a dozen nations from coming into the United States, citing threats to national security as the reason behind the decision.
“I have determined to fully restrict and limit the entry of nationals of the following 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen,” the president wrote in the order.
In addition to the full bans, the administration has also chosen to implement more limited entry restrictions on citizens from seven other nations, which include Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the government to immediately halt deportation proceedings against the family of a man charged in the firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado, to ensure the protection of the family’s constitutional rights. U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted a request from the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who are Egyptian, to block their deportation. U.S. immigration officials took the family into custody Tuesday. “The court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” Gallagher wrote. Soliman, 45, has been charged with a federal hate crime and state counts of attempted murder in the attack in downtown Boulder on Sunday.
