The family of Moishy Kleinerman in the city of Modiin Illit is celebrating a simcha, as his mother, Gitti Kleinerman, gave birth to a baby boy today, b’sha’ah tovah.
The family, which has been living in uncertainty for over two years, is still searching for any clue that could lead to solving the mystery of Moishy’s disappearance.
For over two years, his father, R’ Shmuel, and his mother, Gitti, filled with faith and tefillah, have been doing everything they can to bring Moishy home.
For more than two and a half years, Gitti has been appealing to the people of Israel:

In recent weeks, hundreds of young men and yeshiva heads have been visiting the residence of the Slabodka Rosh Yeshiva Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch to seek his counsel on the pressing issue of the military draft, which stands at the forefront of the public agenda.
In the footage below, the Rosh Yeshiva is seen advising a group of talmidim from the Zahav Mordechai Itri yeshiva who had received draft notices and came to seek the Rosh Yeshiva’s guidance on what they should do.
In the footage below, questions are presented before the Rosh Yeshiva.

In recent months, Minister Meir Porush has consistently called for halting the promotion of a draft law and has openly opposed the intention to tie the passage of the state budget to the approval of such a law. However, this morning, HaMevaser, the newspaper affiliated with Shlomei Emunim, has shifted its stance and launched a scathing attack on the newly appointed Defense Minister, Yisroel Katz.
According to the publication, “With the approval of the incoming Defense Minister, Yisroel Katz, who is continuing the policy initiated by his predecessor, Yoav Gallant, the army will begin issuing 7,000 additional draft notices to yeshiva students starting today.”

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rav Dovid Yehuda Wertheimer zt”l at Maayanei HaYeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak. He was 54.

Rav Wertheimer was born on the 28th of Av in 1970 to his father, Rav Shlomo Wertheimer, and his mother, Leah Glick. In his youth, he learned at Yeshivas Kol Yaakov in Yerushalayim.

it is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the news of the petirah of Hagaon Rav Yehoshua Kalish zt”l, rov of the Harborview Bais Medrash in Lawrence, New York, and a revered longtime rebbi at Yeshiva Derech Ayson in Far Rockaway.
Rav Kalish was a gaon in Torah, a talmid chochom of extraordinary depth who completed Shas over 40 times during his lifetime.
As a maggid shiur and rebbi, he educated and inspired thousands, shaping the lives of countless talmidim with his brilliance, warmth, and heartfelt hadracha.

On leil Shabbos, as Shabbos began, the Sanzer Rebbe collapsed in the main Sanzer bais medrash of Kiryat Sanz, Netanya. The incident took place during Mincha when the Rebbe suddenly fainted.
He was immediately transported to Laniado Hospital, in Netanya, for urgent medical attention.
After undergoing a thorough battery of medical tests, doctors ruled out any cardiac-related concerns. According to sources close to the chassidus, the Rebbe’s condition was attributed to an infection that had caused significant physical weakness.
The medical staff administered light treatment, and by Shabbos morning, the Rebbe was discharged and returned home.

The IDF has announced that Sergeant Ori Nisanovich fell in combat in Lebanon.
Nisanovich, aged 21 from Yerushalayim, served in the 13th Battalion, Golani Brigade.
His levayah took place on Motzoei Shabbos on Har Herzl in Yerushalayim.
Israel has now lost 795 soldiers since the start of the war.
The Avinoam-Evyatar Yeshiva wrote: “Blessed is the true Judge. The yeshiva announces with deep sorrow the fall of Ori Nisanovich, may G-d avenge his blood, in battle in Lebanon. The funeral will take place tonight at 11:00 p.m. on Mount Herzl. ‘And bring him up there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains, of which I will tell you.’ (Bereishis 22:2)”

A U.S. political adviser to the United Nations said on Wednesday that two United Nations resolutions—on “oil slick on Lebanese shores” and “permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory”—are anti-Israel.
“The United States remains disappointed that this body has again taken up this unbalanced resolution that is unfairly critical of Israel, demonstrating a clear and persistent institutional bias directed at one member state,” Nicholas Koval said of the Lebanon resolution. “One-sided resolutions like those introduced here today only distract from efforts to advance peace.”

On Thursday, the IDF said it is issuing 1,000 Charedi draft notices, as a first round of the 7,000 total Charedi notices the IDF will be sending out over the next two months.
In the coming days, Maj. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa will be replacing Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asur as the IDF’s head of human resources, and will lead up the Charedi draft issue.
This past summer, the IDF sent out 3,000 draft notices to Charedim, but only about 300 people who received the notices ended up drafting.  The army had selected the 3,000 based on who would be more likely to join, and received signals implying 50% would join.  However, community pressure, including Charedim blocking induction centers on draft day, ultimately resulted in only 10% of those who received notices joining the IDF.
