Rav Kalman Bar, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, has issued a psak halachah stating that krias haTorah missed due to shul closures must be completed under specific conditions.

The story of the Meraglim in Parshas Shelach is one of the most tragic and consequential episodes in the Torah. But beneath the surface of the familiar narrative lies a deep and nuanced insight into the type of leadership chosen, the spiritual mindset of Klal Yisroel, and the nature of their mistake.
The Questions: What Changed — and Why?
In the first three parshiyos of Sefer Bamidbar — Bamidbar, Naso, and Beha’aloscha — we are introduced to the Nesi’im, the leaders of each shevet. They are appointed during the census, they bring korbanos during the chanukas haMishkan, and they are central to the organization of the camp.
Then suddenly, in Parshas Shelach, there is a shift.

In a powerful address delivered at the conclusion of a shiur klali in his yeshiva, Rav Moshe Shternbuch spoke about the war with Iran and the fear it has instilled across the country.

At a Cabinet meeting convened Wednesday evening—the first since the launch of Operation Am KeLavi—ministers received a comprehensive security briefing on the ongoing military operations deep inside Tehran.
During the meeting, Deputy Minister Uri Maklev raised his voice in protest, accusing the Home Front Command of neglecting the chareidi public when it comes to emergency alerts. Maklev said that users of kosher phones are not receiving real-time alerts from the Home Front Command. He noted that the Reshut Ha’chareidit (Chareidi Affairs Division) in the Prime Minister’s Office had already reached out with practical solutions, but the Home Front Command has been ignoring the matter.

As the current military conflict between Israel and Iran continues to unfold, Rav Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, Chief Rabbi of Migdal HaEmek and founder of Migdal Ohr, delivered a powerful address linking today’s events to the prophetic writings of Rashi, composed nearly 900 years ago.
In a moving message to students of the Migdal Ohr network, broadcast via the school’s audio platform, Rav Grossman referenced the hostility of Iran toward the Jewish people and framed it in stark historical and theological terms.

After a trip to strengthen Jewish communities abroad, Rav Azriel Auerbach returned to Erets Yisroel today via an unusual route, crossing the Jordanian border under tight security after landing in Aqaba on a private aircraft.
The journey concluded a trip that began two weeks ago, when Rav Auerbach responded to the request of American gedolim to travel to the United States and serve as the keynote speaker at the Adirei HaTorah gathering. Throughout his visit, he participated in numerous kabalos panim held in yeshivos and Torah centers across the country, delivering powerful divrei chizuk and shiurim to thousands of bnei Torah.

In response to widespread confusion and numerous questions regarding payments for educational institutions and preschools during the ongoing war, the Beis Din of Beitar Illit, led by Rav Tzvi Braverman, issued a formal set of halachic guidelines this week.
The ruling marks the first major halachic response to the array of financial dilemmas caused by the war’s impact on school operations across the country.

Residents of the Pardes Katz neighborhood in Bnei Brak are sharing a powerful story of Hashgocha and a narrowly averted tragedy after an Iranian missile struck a local school building in the early hours of Monday morning, Matzav.com has learned.
The missile made a direct hit on the Beis Yaakov Otzar HaChaim school, a mosad for Sephardic girls in the area, reducing it to rubble. Just days ago, the building had been bustling with hundreds of students. Recently renovated, the school had been fully operational until the missile strike.
