It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports that the body of Rabbi Reuven Bauman z”l, who was swept out to sea last week in Norfolk, Virginia has been found.
The discovery was made early this afternoon and Rabbi Bauman’s family was notified a short while ago.
The news comes after days of intensive searching that involved volunteers from the local community and far beyond, and the participation of the Coast Guard, police, fire personnel, and others. Organizations including Hatzolah, Misaskim, Shomrim, Chai Lifeline and Achiezer were involved in the effort.

British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt told his Iranian counterpart on Saturday that Britain would facilitate the release of the detained Grace 1 oil tanker if Tehran gave guarantees it would not go to Syria.
The tanker was seized last week by British Royal Marines off the coast of the British Mediterranean territory of Gibraltar on suspicion of violating sanctions against Syria.
Iran on Saturday reiterated its call for the ship’s release. It denies the tanker was taking oil to Syria in violation of European Union sanctions.
The affair has stoked tension in the Gulf, with Britain saying on Thursday that it had fended off Iranian ships that tried to block a British tanker in the area.

A Netherlands Jewish leader was assaulted, tortured and robbed in his home by four masked men in an apparent planned operation.
Benoit Wesly, a 73-year-old businessman, woke up early Sunday morning to find the assailants around his bed. Wesly was beaten, pushed down the stairs, stabbed and kicked, according to the report. Then the men tied him to a chair, placed a piece of cloth over his mouth and nose, and poured water on the cloth — a torture technique known as waterboarding that simulates drowning — until he gave them the combination to his safe, Wesly told police.

On Saturday, July 20, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will become the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history, beating Israel’s first prime minister David Ben Gurion.
According to data compiled by Dr. Ofer Kenig of the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), Ben Gurion served as prime minister for 4,872 days. Netanyahu will reach that number on Friday and surpass it on Saturday. Both prime ministers achieved their record through two non-consecutive periods of time, with Ben Gurion serving as prime minister from May 1948 until January 1954 and from November 1955 to June 1963.

Dmocrat candidate Bernie Sanders was interviewed by NowThis — a progressive social media video site with a following — and was asked about what it would mean to be the first Jewish president.
“It’s another barrier that’s broken down,” he said. “And the goal of what politics in America should be is to break down those barriers, to elect people — whether they’re women, whether they’re men, whether they’re gay, whether they’re straight, whether they’re old, whether they’re young. Elect the best candidates, the candidates who speak to your needs.”
Sanders was also asked if he has ever experienced discrimination, looking emotional as he said that he has experienced anti-Semitism. He connected that experience to the discrimination faced by other minorities.

​President Trump suggested the freshman Democrats who have been feuding with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should “go back” to their countries to fix their governments, saying “you can’t leave fast enough.”
​”So interesting to see ​’​Progressive​’​ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly​ ​and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run​,” the president wrote in a series of tweets on Sunday.

The Sullivan County Department of Health is currently paying a visit to the Nachlei Emunah bungalow colony in Monticello, as they seek to investigate a possible case of the measles.
The Department of Health is aware of a visitor reportedly with measles who was in the colony last weekend, and they are checking whether the residents of the colony are vaccinated, to ensure that the contagion doesn’t spread in the county as other areas in New York battle to bring the outbreak this year under control.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ​slapped back Sunday at President Trump for suggesting that she and three other freshman Democrats “go back” to the countries they’re from, saying he’s irked at them because they push back at his version of America.
“​You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder​,” the New York Democrat wrote on Twitter. “You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it. Yet here we are.​”​
