In a disturbing outburst that shocked viewers across Israel, former Member of Knesset and senior Yediot Acharonot journalist Miki Rosenthal made an inflammatory and violent remark on live television, targeting chareidi Jews who offer free tefillin to children.
The incident occurred Sunday evening during a panel discussion on Channel 13’s program War Zone. During the segment, host Baruch Kara presented a video circulating online, an ad from a charitable organization distributing tefillin free of charge to boys, specifically those from bereaved families.

QUESTION:  What types of cheeses are included in the prohibition of gevinas Akum? ANSWER: There are two types of cheese: soft cheese and hard cheese. Until modern times, the most common coagulant that curdled milk into hard cheese was animal rennet, which is typically extracted from the stomach lining of a calf. (Today, microbial rennet, which is extracted from microorganisms, is more common.) Soft cheese is generally made with acids or acid cultures. (Some common acids are vinegar, citric acid and lactic acid.) Poskim agree that hard cheeses (such as Cheddar, Swiss, and Mozzarella) must be gevinas Yisroel to be kosher. Since these can be made with animal rennet, they were certainly included in the gezeira of Chazal.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisroel Katz has instructed the Israeli military to show detained pro-Palestinian activists a graphic film documenting the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. According to a statement from his office, the decision is intended to confront the activists with the brutal reality of the terror group they sought to support by challenging Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza.
The 43-minute film, compiled by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, contains unedited, extremely graphic footage of the massacre. Many of the scenes were captured by the attackers themselves via body cameras and include images of civilians being murdered and their bodies desecrated.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In a momentous event to honor the Torah, tens of thousands of members of the American charedi Jewish community—led by the great Torah sch

During an appearance on CNN’s Newsroom on Sunday, Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) lashed out at President Donald Trump over his decision to deploy National Guard forces to Los Angeles, denouncing him in harsh terms.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev said on Monday that the government is planning to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Mirara even if the Supreme Court rules that it is “illegal.” Speaking in an interview with Ynet, Regev responded to a question about the government’s approval of a new procedure to fire the Attorney General:  “Isn’t establishing a committee now changing the rules of the game?” Ynet asked “Not at all,” Regev responded. “The government that approved the committee can also be the government that cancels the committee.” Ynet: This is a committee that is sold in advance. Its results are known. Regev: “Baharav-Miara will come, express her positions clearly, and then the committee’s recommendations will reach the government.

Democrats have now coalesced around a common narrative to explain the escalating unrest in Los Angeles: that Trump is to blame. They point fingers at his decision to arrest illegal immigrants, deploy the California National Guard, and take steps to enforce federal laws that have long been on the books.
Notably absent from the conversation is any admission of fault by California’s elected officials, nearly all of whom are Democrats. None have voiced support for the police under siege, nor have they taken responsibility for the destruction of public property or the attacks on law enforcement.

Defense Minister Yisrael Katz ordered the IDF to screen harrowing footage of the October 7 massacre to the passengers of the Madleen “flotilla, which was seized en route to the Gaza Strip early Monday morning. The 43-minute “Bearing Witness” atrocity film shows footage of unspeakable atrocities, including massacres, beheadings, and mutilation of bodies. Much of the grotesque footage came from the bodycams and dachcams of the terrorists, who proudly and gleefully filmed themselves committing murder and torture. “I commend the IDF for the swift and secure takeover of the Madleen flotilla, preventing it from breaking the blockade and reaching Gaza’s shores,” Katz said.

Just a few miles from the Gaza border, the city of Sderot has opened a new center devoted exclusively to commemorating the atrocities committed during the Hamas-led massacre on October 7.
The memorial, established by the ISRAEL-is organization in cooperation with Sderot’s municipal government, was created to serve as a permanent reminder of that horrific day and to preserve firsthand accounts from those who survived the attack.

In the early hours of Monday, Israeli naval forces from the elite Shayetet 13 unit boarded and took control of the vessel “Madleen,” a boat operated by pro-Palestinian activists attempting to challenge Israel’s maritime blockade of Gaza. The interception occurred without any physical resistance, and all those on board were detained peacefully. The vessel is currently being escorted to Ashdod.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tensions in Los Angeles escalate

Former Vice President Kamala Harris called the move by the Trump administration to bring in the National Guard to aid with the anti-ICE riots a “dangerous escalation.” “Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city,” Harris wrote, in part, in a post on X. “Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos,” she continued. Harris added that the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across the nation are part of the Trump administration’s “cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.” “Protest is a powerful tool – essential in the fight for justice.

American officials are currently weighing the possibility of cutting their backing for UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping mission stationed in southern Lebanon, in an effort to reduce the financial burden associated with maintaining the force, Yisroel Hayom reported on Sunday night. Later in the day, American sources confirmed to The Times of Israel that this potential move is under serious discussion.
