“Once the Siyum seats are gone, they are gone,” Rabbi Shlomo Gertzulin, Executive VP of The Siyum told us this morning. “There are only limited seats available, and many sections are already completely reserved. Once the remaining seats sell out, it will just be too late. Please, don’t wait any longer to get your seats, so you will not be disappointed.”

Some of us like waiting till the last minute, well, guess what? – IT IS THE LAST MINUTE!

An Orthodox Jewish man has announced that he will be running for Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s Parliament seat in the United Kingdom’s general elections on Dec. 12.
Yosef David, who grew up in Golders Green—a London suburb know for its Jewish population—is a social worker for a large Jewish charity. He recently registered as a candidate of the right-wing Brexit Party for the Islington North constituency in London.
In 2017, the district elected Corbyn with 73 percent of the vote. Labour has won in Islington North in every election since 1937, which poses a challenge for David.

A bomb squad was called in to investigate a suspicious package found near a shul in Delft, Netherlands on Sunday, hours before a musical act from Israel was scheduled to perform.
According to local media outlets, police closed off nearby streets until they could ascertain the package was not threatening.
Jews in the Netherlands remain on high alert as antisemitism has reached worrying levels in the country and throughout Western Europe.

MK Miki Zohar (Likud) took part on Sunday evening in the Likud “emergency conference” which was called to protest the possible establishment of a left-wing government supported by the predominantly Arab Joint List party.
Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Zohar called the charedim to compromise in order to prevent a third election in one year and also urged Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman to return to the right-wing bloc.
“We are in a state of emergency. There is a real danger that a left-wing minority government will be established. I truly hope that Liberman will come to his senses, will not lend a hand to this, and will prevent this because, ultimately, it’s in his hands. He can prevent this disaster and I hope that he does so,” said Zohar.

A agricultural worker fell from heights in a field near Sedot Yam.
United Hatzalah volunteer Yitzchak Ben Asayig related from the scene: When I arrived at the scene together with EMS volunteers, bystanders told us that the man fell from a ladder over 7 meters high while he was working to build a greenhouse. After a lengthy rescusitation process we unfortunately had to pronounce his death due to the severity of the injuries he suffered.”

Dramatic and far-reaching agreements have been made between MK Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party and the larger Blue and White party chaired by MK Benny Gantz.
The parties’ negotiating teams agreed, among other things, to pass legislation allowing municipal rabbis to open batei dinim for geirus, which will not be supervised by the government conversion system.
They also agreed to fully implement the Kosel Plan, allow civil marriage, and pass the Draft Law in its original version. In addition, the agreement states that the Supermarkets Law will be canceled, and there will be regular public transportation on Shabbat (the Sabbath) in any municipalities interested in it.
The agreement has not yet been signed.

Everything seemed ready to go: President Donald Trump’s ban on most e-cigarette flavors had been cleared by federal regulators. Officials were poised to announce that they would order candy, fruit and mint flavors off the market within 30 days – a step the president had promised almost two months earlier to quell a youth vaping epidemic that had ensnared 5 million teenagers.
