“A beautiful and exceptional discourse from Rabbi Yehudah ben Bezalel” –  the famed Maharal of Prague.
This drush was delivered in honor of Shabbos HaGadol in the year 1589. In it, the Maharal masterfully weaves together many themes from all parts of the Torah. He does this according to the four methods of Torah study – pshat, remez, drush and sod – known by the acronym ‘Pardes.’ The Maharal concludes his drasha with a focus on the subject of the sukkah and the Arba Minim!

YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of HaRav Avrohom Korf, the pioneering Head Shliach of Chabad in Florida and a pillar of Jewish life in the state for more than six decades. He was 92. Born in 5693 (1932) in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Rabbi Korf fled with his family to Samarkand during World War II, eventually escaping the Soviet Union in 1947 alongside Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, the Rebbe’s mother. After a brief stay in the Poking refugee camp and learning in the Brunoy Yeshiva in France, he came to 770 Eastern Parkway in 1952 . In the wake of the tragic Kfar Chabad massacre, the Rebbe dispatched Rabbi Korf to Eretz Yisrael to bolster the Chassidim there. Later, he married Rivka Eichenbaum — among the last couples whose chuppah was officiated by the Rebbe himself.

Israeli police have opened a criminal investigation into far-left journalist Yisrael Frey following a social media post in which he celebrated the deaths of five IDF soldiers and called on Israeli mothers to oppose the war in Gaza. “The world is a better place this morning, without five young men who partook in one of the most brutal crimes against humanity,” Frey wrote on X early Monday. He went on to reference suffering in Gaza, writing: “Unfortunately, for the boy in Gaza now being operated on without anesthesia; the girl starving to death and the family huddling in a tent under bombardment — this is not enough.” In a message to Israeli mothers, Frey added: “Do not be the next to receive your son in a coffin as a war criminal.

The U.S. Army’s history is closely tied to its cavalry units, those soldiers who rode into battle on horseback. But the service announced Tuesday that it’s moving toward a future without the ceremonial horses and will put most of them up for adoption. The Army, however, will keep operating the Old Guard ceremonial caisson units at Joint Base San Antonio and Arlington National Cemetery for burial honors. Ceremonial cavalry units will be closed down at bases including Fort Cavazos in Texas, whose horses were showcased during the military parade in Washington on June 14, which was the Army’s 250th anniversary and also President Donald Trump’s birthday.

Russia fired more than 700 attack and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight, topping previous nightly barrages for the third time in two weeks, part of Moscow’s intensifying aerial and ground assault in the three-year war, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday. Russia has recently sought to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses by launching major attacks that include increasing numbers of decoy drones. The most recent one appeared aimed at disrupting Ukraine’s vital supply of Western weapons. The city of Lutsk, home to airfields used by the Ukrainian army, was the hardest hit, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It lies in western Ukraine near the border with Poland, a region that is a crucial hub for receiving foreign military aid.
