Several years ago I was in a serious predicament and needed guidance. I made the trip from Lakewood to Eretz Yisroel, to solicit advice from Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l. Rav Chaim told me, “come to Eretz Yisroel.”
We had come to vacation in Eretz Yisroel several times before, and made all of our boys’ bar-mitzvahs there. We just never envisioned it as a place to actually live in.

Voting in Alaska’s special primary election to replace the late Republican Rep. Don Young closed Saturday as four dozen candidates – including former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin – faced off under unusual new rules.
Palin took an early lead with 54% of the results in. The first batch of results released late Saturday showed her with just under 30% of votes. Alaska is not expected to release further vote totals until June 15.
With celebrity status and an endorsement from former president Donald Trump, Palin is the most prominent candidate in a crowded field. But her popularity in Alaska has faded since her time as governor, and a new ranked-choice voting system – designed to elect candidates with broad support – could complicate her bid.

No joke. And no, it’s not just in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Two people ended up in one of Roald Dahl’s nightmares—or dreams, depending on one’s tastes—when they fell into a tank of chocolate at the Mars M&M’s factory in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, this afternoon.
According to a Lancaster County dispatch, the pair were not injured but required assistance to get out of the waist-high chocolate so a rescue crew was sent to the facility. First responders cut a hole in the tank to help them get out.
