Following a period of seven months with no kabalas kahal for Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky due to the coronavirus, special preparations are being made to allow Bnei Brak residents to receive HaRav Chaim’s blessings for a Shana Tovah. Every year, in an hours-long process, thousands of Bnei Brak residents line up on the night of Rosh Hashanah to receive a bracha of Shana Tovah from the Gadol Hador and tens of thousands visit HaRav Chaim’s home throughout Tishrei. HaRav Chaim’s relatives decided that the minhag will continue this year through the construction of a special bridge and a transparent mechitzah between the kahal and the Rav.

As part of the enforcement of lockdown regulations, Israel Police will be setting up hundreds of roadblocks nationwide to deter Israelis from traveling to family or friends for Rosh Hashanah. Anyone caught trying to sneak home late at night or early in the morning beyond 500 meters of their homes will be fined NIS 500 per passenger in the vehicle and if they are on their way to their destination, they will be sent home. Repeat violators [those caught trying to make their way through another route] will receive additional fines. An exception will be made for anyone traveling to the airport bearing valid tickets for a previously scheduled flight within four hours of the flight or those returning home from the airport.

It is Erev Yom Hadin. We are busy with seemingly mundane things; showering the children and wiping the kitchen floor. Putting away the pots, taking out a baking pan, back to the store for more challos, setting the timer for the lights and maybe the air conditioner too… In another minute the Mishpat begins. Fatal decisions affecting an entire year. Life is hanging in the balance. Recent events demonstrated what can happen.  Most would love to be at the Kosel Hamaaravi right now, standing by the holy, ancient stones and offer a prayer that immediately flies up straight to Heaven.  In truth, we are there.

Belarus’ authoritarian leader on Wednesday sought to disparage protesters demanding his resignation for a sixth straight week following a disputed election by accusing the United States of fomenting the unrest. In a long speech to top officials, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko ranted against the alleged U.S.-led plan to destabilize the country and claimed that American allies in Europe have participated in the effort that took years to prepare, part of his attempts to cast the opposition as Western stooges. Lukashenko didn’t provide evidence to back his claim that the U.S. had any involvement in the demonstrations.

Israel’s involvement in the explosion at Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment site has been confirmed, according to a Jerusalem Post report on Wednesday. The report said that that the goal of the Natanz explosion was to send a clear message to Iran to halt its nuclear program and indicate that continued progress toward development of nuclear weapons will not be tolerated. The explosion caused extensive damage at the site and the Post report confirmed that the explosion was a result of physical sabotage rather than through cyberattacks. Iran has not officially accused Israel of perpetrating the explosion and at the time of the attack, an unknown group named the Homeland Cheetahs, supposedly comprised of Iranian dissidents, claimed responsibility for the explosion.

When billionaire Mike Bloomberg ended his presidential campaign in March, he pledged to spend “whatever it takes” to help Democrats defeat President Donald Trump. Less than two months before the election, he’s finally coming through. Facing questions about whether he would fulfill his promise, Bloomberg over the weekend moved to direct $100 million to Florida alone in support of Joe Biden. It’s a massive sum on par with the resources he poured into helping Democrats retake the House in 2018 and could put Trump on defense in a state that is critical to his reelection. Billionaire donors have long played a central role in supporting both parties. Yet no one has proposed pumping in so much cash to support a presidential campaign in a single state.
