by Rabbi Yair Hoffman It has happened numerous times, over thousands of years. Precious documents have been lost, causing serious repercussions. Passports, titles to vehicles, the wife’s kesubah. The repercussion of losing a passport is not being able to leave the country.

Three family members died after a tree struck their vehicle in Michigan as powerful storms swept across the region, authorities said, and more potentially dangerous weather was forecast Monday across parts of the Southeast. Three other people were hospitalized with injuries and one was in critical condition, the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office said. The accident, which was under investigation, happened Sunday in Climax Township, about 130 miles (209 kilometers) west of Detroit. Kalamazoo County had been under a National Weather Service severe thunderstorm warning at the time, one of several Sunday in southern Michigan. More than 400,000 power outages were reported across Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, according to Poweroutage.us.

Suspected U.S. airstrikes struck around Yemen’s rebel-held capital overnight into Monday morning, attacks that the Iranian-backed Houthis said killed at least three people. The full extent of the damage wasn’t immediately clear. The attacks followed a night of airstrikes early Friday that appeared particularly intense compared to other days in the campaign that began March 15. The strikes around Sanaa, Yemen’s capital held by the Houthis since 2014, and Hajjah governorate also wounded 12 others, the rebels said. Their Al-Masirah satellite news channel aired footage of broken glass littering homes in Sanaa after the concussive blast of the bombs, but continued not to show the targets of the attacks — suggesting the sites had a military or intelligence function.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) —After interviewing seven

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has announced his intention to appoint Eli Sharvit, a former commander of the Israeli Navy, as the new director of the Israel Security Agency, commonly known as the Shin Bet, according to a statement released Monday morning by the Prime Minister’s Office.
Sharvit brings with him 36 years of service in the Israel Defense Forces, including a five-year tenure as head of the Navy. During that time, he was instrumental in strengthening Israel’s maritime security infrastructure, particularly around its territorial economic waters, and directed sensitive and strategic missions against Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

IDF Spokesperson in Arabic Avichay Adraee on Monday morning issued an unusually large-scale evacuation notice, calling on all residents of Rafah and nearby towns in southern Gaza to immediately leave their homes and move to the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi.

For your safety, you must immediately move to Al-Mawasi.” This is the most extensive evacuation notice published by the IDF since the resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu selected former naval chief Vice-Admiral (res.) Eli Sharvit as the next Shin Bet chief, the Prime Minister’s Office announced on Monday. Sharvit’s selection was unexpected and considered a surprising choice for several reasons: he was not one of the leading candidates for the position; he is an outsider to the Shin Bet, never having served in its ranks and has no intelligence background; and before October 7, he participated in the protests in Tel Aviv against the government’s judicial rform plan. “After extensively interviewing seven qualified candidates, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided to appoint former naval chief Vice-Admiral (res.) Eli Sharvit as the next head of the Shin Bet,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.

CBS’ 60 Minutes broadcast the full interview on Sunday night with Yarden Bibas, a survivor of captivity whose family was brutally murdered after being abducted from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7, 2023, terror attack.
During the conversation with journalist Lesley Stahl, Bibas relived the trauma, sharing the chilling and dehumanizing comments made by those who held him hostage.
“[Shiri and the kids] were murdered in cold blood, bare hands,” Bibas explained. “They used to tell me—‘Oh, doesn’t matter. You’ll get a new wife. Get new kids. Better wife. Better kids.’”
Stahl, clearly taken aback, asked in disbelief, “They said that to you?”
“Yeah, many times,” Yarden replied.
