A successful campaign to pay for a groundbreaking 2 million dollar medication to save a young Jewish girl was completed in  a only five days as Jews across the globe united to help out.
Eliana (now Chana) Cohen was recently diagnosed with SMA type 2, a life altering disease with devastating symptoms. Due to a misdiagnosis, the family only learned of her condition a few weeks ago, leading to a horrifying countdown. A new drug to fight the disease with a high success rate in clinical trials was recently FDA approved. However, the approval was only for children under two, leaving the family a matter of days to put together the funds, which weren’t covered by insurance.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday urged House Democrats to support a resolution to condemn President Trump for tweeting that four minority Democratic congresswomen should “go back” to their countries.
“The House cannot allow the President’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the President’s xenophobic tweets,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to House Democrats announcing a “forthcoming” resolution from Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), who was born in Poland, Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), and other Democratic members who were born abroad.

Charedi radio station Kol Baramah, which was ordered to pay a court-ordered fine of 30,000 shekels to the feminist group Kolech early this morning, protested the fine by paying in 300,000 10-agorot coins.
The radio station was penalized for not giving play time to female singers.
“We loved the gimmick,” Kolech’s Facebook page says. “We didn’t really feel the insult. For some reason, we believe it was worth it to ensure that today there are wonderful women broadcasting on Kol Baramah Radio.”

The Israeli police officer who shot and killed a 19-year-old Ethiopian-Israeli last month was released from house arrest on Monday in a decision that has reignited anger and protests within the Ethiopian-Israeli community.
The officer, whose identity has not been made public, has been under house arrest since the shooting of Solomon Tekah on June 30 near Haifa, an incident which sparked several days of angry protests and revived accusations of police brutality and systematic discrimination against Israel’s sizeable Ethiopian community.
An internal police investigation corroborated the officer’s claim that did not aim directly at Tekah, but rather fired at the ground causing the bullet to ricochet and fatally strike the young man in the chest.

President Trump apparently called on four newly elected congresswomen of color to apologize to him after he said they should “go back” to their “broken and crime infested” countries. The comments were widely condemned as racist — and three of the four were born in the U.S.
“When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said,” Trump tweeted Monday. “So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!”

Thousands of people in Sweden are having futuristic microchips implanted into their skin to carry out everyday activities and replace credit cards and cash.
More than 4,000 people have already had the sci-fi-like chips, about the size of a grain of rice, inserted into their hands — with the pioneers predicting millions will soon join them as they hope to take it global.
Like glorified smartwatches, the chips help Swedes monitor their health, replace keycards to allow them to enter offices and buildings and enabling owners to pay in stores with a simple swipe of the hand, a big deal in a forward-looking country that is moving towards eliminating cash.

In its continued efforts to help the families of the incinerated community of Mevo Modi’im get back on their feet, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has helped the small moshav raise more than $500,000 in collected donations for its residents, the vast majority of whom have lost their homes.
Located west of Jerusalem and near the Israeli city of Modi’in, Mevo Modi’im sustained a massive fire in May that has destroyed most of the community’s homes. The moshav is still uninhabitable as toxic fumes and gases remain from the damage. For the time being, the residents have been temporarily relocated to Kibbutz Hafetz Haim.

An Orthodox Jew from Florida who took home $25,000 after competing in the new CBS show “Million Dollar Mile” dedicated his win to his coreligionists on Sunday.
In an interview with The Algemeiner, Michael Neuman, 26, said, “I wanted our Jewish kids to feel proud and powerful after my run … I wanted to get a win for the Jewish people and make a Kiddish Hashem [the sanctification of God’s name], that was the goal.”
