18+ min ago (251+ words) In Israel, it was further revealed that the Palestinian Authority essentially changed the payment mechanism to one based on socio-economic criteria, rather than on the number of years of imprisonment, as was the case in the past. This change led to the cessation of payments to some terrorists in prisons, but not to all, and thus it effectively continued payment to terrorists and their families. The Palestinian Authority prefers to postpone the implementation of the education reform to next year, although, after it became clear that it is not keeping its promises, pro-Israel officials in the European Union are expected to increase pressure in light of the huge sums being transferred. In response to the accusations against them, senior Palestinian Authority officials claimed that in January, a new payment system is supposed to be implemented that will create transparency, and…...

Operating room footage: Rare intestinal transplant performed at Beilinson Hospital A rare and complex intestinal transplant was performed at Beilinson Hospital - the third such procedure ever completed in Israel. Beilinson Hospital performed a rare and complex intestinal transplant recently - the third of its kind in Israel. The transplant was carried out on Daniel Chaim Biton, 36, from Hod Hasharon, who suffered for 17 years from a non-functioning digestive system and was nourished via a central venous infusion (TPN). The transplant was made possible by organ donation from six-year-old Ariel Hakakian, who died from complications of influenza. His parents chose to donate his organs and save lives. The operation lasted about seven hours and was performed by Dr. Evyatar Nesher, director of the transplant…...

38+ min ago (391+ words) In the midst of these many tragic events, Hashem speaks to Yaakov (Bereshit ibid. v. 9-12), declaring that Yaakov's name would be changed to Yisroel, assuring Yaakov that great, numerous and royal progeny would emerge from him, and affirming that he and his descendants would inherit the Land promised to Avrohom and Yitzchak. How are we to view Hashem's message to Yaakov in light of the surrounding circumstances, and what was the point of these assurances from Hashem being given to Yaakov at this specifically gloomy juncture? The Torah thereupon immediately tells us about the divine fear that gripped the surrounding inhabitants of Canaan, so that they did not pursue Yaakov and his family as they journeyed to Beit-El. Upon arriving at Beit-El, Yaakov erected the mizbeach and made a stirring declaration about Hashem's Shechinah being present there (ibid. v. 2-7, with Rashi). Despite…...

40+ min ago (314+ words) Large numbers of Israel Police and Civil Administration forces raided the Mevaser Shalom outpost in Samaria early Thursday morning, demolishing families' homes. At the outpost, located near the community of Evyatar, the forces evacuated two families and demolished their homes. Despite repeated past incidents in which Arab laborers participated in violent confrontations and property theft during demolitions, the Civil Administration again brought in Arab workers to assist in the destruction. Alongside the demolition, Central Command Chief Maj.-Gen. Avi Bluth declared the hilltop a closed military zone for the duratuon of an entire year. Thursday morning's demolition took place one month after a shooting attack carried out by two terrorists from the village of Beita against the community's residents. More than 15 bullets were fired, passing close to locals and miraculously causing no injuries. Shortly afterward, a violent olive-harvest provocation took…...

49+ min ago (640+ words) For the last two years, the people of Israel have faced threats on every side. Even now, after a fragile peace, danger continues. We are still suffering the casualties of war. Fear grips the hearts of our brothers and sisters. It is easy to talk about the problems. To preach. To wish for solutions. But words alone will not protect us. Discussion alone will not bring safety. Action is required. Each of us must take initiative. Start where we can. Do what we can. The Torah teaches this lesson in Parashas Vayishlach. That night, Yaakov Avinu wrestled with the angel, malach. How do we remember it? Not with a positive mitzvah, but with a prohibition - the gid hanasheh. Yaakov faced the malach with courage. But the gid hanasheh reminds us that the highest path is wisdom - living in a way…...
