Jews arrived in droves to ascend to the har Habayis in Yerushalayim this morning, the first time the sacred site was reopened to Jewish visitation since being closed due to COVID-19 concerns over two months ago.
Among the hundreds of Jews who went up to the holiest site in the Jewish religion today were MKs Uri Ariel and former MKs Yehuda Glick and Shuli Muallem-Refaeli.
“After 70 days during which the Temple Mount was closed to visiting and prayer, tomorrow it will open!” tweeted Muallem-Refaeli. “I invite you all with great excitement to join me tomorrow to go up in purity at 8:30 a.m. I have a strong longing for the holy place, to go up together with many people from all parts of Israeli society and especially to pray for recovery and peace for all.”

President Trump said a short while ago the government will designate Antifa — the far-left extremist group his administration says is carrying out violence during the nationwide George Floyd protests — as a “terrorist” organization.
“The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” the president said on Twitter.
The message was part of a series of tweets about the demonstrations that have been roiling cities across the country following the death of Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis last Monday.

Israeli schools will remain open despite a COVID-19 outbreak at a high school, the country’s Health Ministry said, but Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu warned that coronavirus curbs would be reimposed if infection rates increase.
Israel has lifted many restrictions over the past few weeks as infection rates have dropped. But they rose sharply on Friday with 121 new cases being reported by Saturday morning—the majority of which originated at one Jerusalem high school—up from only four last Saturday.
In a televised address, Netanyahu said it was still too early to say whether this showed a change in trend. The next few days, he said, would determine whether there was a significant rise in infection rates that would require a policy change.

Rep. Ilhan Omar said on Sunday that while some Minneapolis residents felt safer with National Guard troops on city streets after demonstrations over the police-involved death of George Floyd turned violent, others “felt terrorized by the presence of tanks” while protesting.
“I think last night, the community did feel safe to know that there will not be a burning of their businesses and their homes,” she said on ABC’s “This Week.” “We are obviously worried and feeling terrorized about that prospect.”
But, she added, there were “also many people who chose to demonstrate and not abide by the curfew, who felt like they also were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard and a militarized police.”

On paper, it sounds like just another startup. A young company developing advanced technology, being managed with great secrecy. In fact, Tomer is a company owned by the government of Israel that is meant to act as a center of national expertise in the field of rocket propulsion.

The Israel Police has opened an investigation into the officers responsible for the killing over the weekend of an eastern Jerusalem resident with autism.
Iyad Halak, 32, was shot dead by Border Police on Saturday morning while on his way to the special-education institute that he attends daily, according to Hebrew media reports.
In the wake of the incident, the police department announced the launch of an investigation, the initial findings of which reveal that Halak was unarmed at the time of the shooting.

The Israeli Cabinet convened on Sunday morning to vote on across-the-board cuts to accommodate the addition of new ministries to the 35th government, the largest in the country’s history, with 34 ministers.
The ministries are being established as part of the national-unity deal between Likud, headed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz, who is now serving as vice premier and defense minister.
The new ministries include: Water Resources, Higher Education, Settlement Affairs, Digital and Cyber, Minority Affairs and Community Strengthening and Advancement.

COVID-19, teaching us how to reconnect to those struggling with addiction in our community!
           By: Moshe A. Yachnes, LCSW, CSAT – Founder of Onward Living, CEO of Archstone Behavioral Health.
For all of us and millions around the globe, the last several months have been devastating. Death, sickness, and unprecedented financial loss or insecurity has plagued the world. Collectively and individually we have made the decision to follow the shelter in place or quarantine orders ensuring personal safety and the safety of those around us. However, this too comes with significant challenges.  

Things are gradually opening up Eretz Yisroel, and hundreds of American yungeleit are returning through their yeshivos.
However, askanim tell Matzav.com that Anglos returning to learn in Eretz Yisroel must be aware of what they will encounter upon their arrival.
“Those coming back must go into full quarantine for two full weeks,” one activist told Matzav.com. “That means no shul, no shopping, no sending kids to gan, etc. just staying in your home.”
