Police have released a knife-wielding Syrian refugee who had to be subdued by pepper spray by security guards outside a Berlin synagogue after he crossed its security barrier.
Investigators said they had to release the man, a 23-year-old from Damascus, because they did not have enough evidence to charge him with a crime at this point. The investigation is ongoing, according to the state Prosecutor’s Office.
The response was woefully inadequate and even dangerous, Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said in a statement Monday. He said the violent nature of Friday’s incident prior to Shabbos services at the historic Neue Synagogue should have merited a tougher response.
A “dangerous man” is now at large, he said.

On this eve of Yom Kippur, we at Matzav.com would like to wish you and your families a gemar chasimah tovah. We hope and pray that this year will be one of great yeshuos for all of Klal Yisroel and that we will merit the geulah during this year, 5780.
At the same time, we pray that Hakadosh Boruch Hu continue to watch over us and protect us from the unspeakable dangers that lurk across the world. And we pray as well that the thousands of Yiddishe neshamos who are so far away from the Torah path find the light and draw closer to their heritage and the One Above.
We wish you all a meaningful fast and that all your tefillos will be accepted On High, letovah.

By Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
“Of course a person should do teshuvah, but I am a bit puzzled. I observe Shabbos, I keep kosher and taharas hamishpachah. I daven every day,I attend a Daf Yomi shiur and I am honest in my business dealings. What exactly should I do teshuvah for?”

Generally, the halacha is that when a person makes a bracha on a food, the bracha is in effect so long as he does not change his location. If one changes locations (i.e. leaves his house), the bracha is no longer in effect. There are however various instances in which a bracha can remain in effect even upon a change of location.Rav Moshe Feinstein writes (Igros Moshe O”C 2 57) that if one continuously eats a food while changing locations, no new bracha is required on that food. For example, if one made a bracha on a sucking candy while in his home and then leaves his house while still sucking the candy, no new bracha is required to finish the candy.

This is not your run-of-the-mill daled minim mocher.
Walmart.com is now selling you lulav, esrog, hadassim and aravos.
A vendor, L A M Wholesale, is selling what they list as “Lulav Etrog Hadasim and Aravos Full Set for Children Kosher Arba Minim for Sukkot.”
It is not clear why the set is specifically “for children.”
The price for the set is $59.99, with free two-day delivery.
The posting, which can be seen here, does not indicate where the lulav and esrog were grown, or any background of the daled minim being sold.

Amid a surge in antisemitic attacks in New York City, worshipers attending Yom Kippur services on Tuesday night and Wednesday will be protected by an increased police presence, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo confirmed on Monday.
Cuomo said the increased presence would be deployed in time for the Kol Nidrei services that usher in the holiest day of the year for Jews.
“As members of the Jewish community gather Tuesday evening to begin the observance of Yom Kippur, I am directing the State Police to increase patrols around Synagogues and religious centers to ensure this sacred day is not disturbed by anyone seeking to spread division or fear,” Cuomo said.
