Newly uncovered online messages have shed light on the deeply troubling mindset of Elias Rodriguez, the pro-Palestinian gunman who murdered two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum last week. Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Chicago resident, was arrested at the scene of the May 21 attack, which claimed the lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim — two young diplomats who were leaving a reception when gunfire erupted.

In a firm response to the growing tensions over the draft law and the recent uptick in arrests of yeshiva students who failed to report to IDF recruitment centers, Slabodka rosh yeshiva Rav Dov Landau has issued a clear directive: any yeshiva student who has received a draft notice is forbidden to leave the country without explicit permission.
The instruction, issued through the Vaad HaYeshivos and signed by its nosi, Rav Landau, was revealed Wednesday evening and is set to be published in the Thursday morning editions of major chareidi newspapers.

A healthy marriage is the bedrock of a stable home, and stable homes are the bedrock of a healthy society. Research consistently shows that children thrive in environments where parents have positive, stable relationships, while exposure to marital conflict can lead to various emotional and behavioral challenges, such as increased anxiety and depression and impaired social and academic functioning. To make matters worse, statistics on both secular and frum communities indicate that marital discord is highest in the child-rearing years. Unfortunately, you don’t have to be a therapist to know that so many people are struggling in the most important area of their lives.

The United States is increasingly worried that Israel could launch a sudden military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities without prior warning, with American intelligence estimating that such an attack could be executed within just seven hours of an order from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The New York Times reported, citing official American sources briefed on the matter. The concern comes as the Trump administration pursues delicate nuclear negotiations with Tehran, raising fears that an Israeli strike could sabotage diplomatic efforts and ignite a broader regional conflict. According to U.S.

Iran’s Channel 2 published a report on D.C. terrorist Elias Rodriquez, praising him as an “American Yahya Sinwar” who “sent two Zionist dogs to hell in a martyrdom operation.” The newscaster lauded the murders on American soil as  “a new axis of resistance that has been born.” The broadcast also showed UP President Trump in the crosshairs, claiming that he ordered that “anyone who as much as whispered a word about Israel would be choked silent.” “The American police were ordered to choke all American youth,” the narrator said. “But Rodriguez was already choked by the world’s silence about the murder of people, by the world’s stifling.” It’s intriguing that Iran dares to post a video with Trump in the crosshairs while simultaneously holding “talks” with the US.

The son of the Belzer Rebbe, Rav Aharon Mordechai Rokeach, paid a visit on Wednesday evening to the home of Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, rosh yeshiva of Slabodka, in Bnei Brak.
According to sources, the two discussed pressing issues concerning the olam haTorah, as well as the chareidi community’s complex and often tense relationship with the current right-wing government, particularly in light of the ongoing stalemate surrounding the controversial draft law.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who entered his position earlier this month, slammed Israel this week, making the harshest statements against the Jewish state about the war in Gaza ever made by a senior official of the country where the Holocaust originated. Merz said that he “no longer understands what the Israeli army is doing now in the Gaza Strip, and what its goal is. The harassment of the civilian population, as has been increasing in recent days can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism,” he claimed “When red lines are crossed, when international humanitarian law is violated, then even a German chancellor must respond,” he said.

The IDF struck a terrorist camp in Deir al-Balah moments ago, with reports of multiple terrorists killed and injured at the site.
