As five million Kurds in northern Iraq prepare for Monday’s historic referendum on independence, Israelis from across the political spectrum continue to embrace the prospect of a separate state of Kurdistan – nearly a century after the imperial powers reneged on their promise of Kurdish self-determination. “I fully support the Kurdish people’s right to national self-determination,” Yair Lapid – chairperson of Israel’s opposition Yesh Atid party and a former finance minister – told The Algemeiner on Sunday. “The Jewish people know what it is to struggle for an independent homeland and the Kurds have a moral right to a state of their own,” Lapid stressed. Addressing international objections to Monday’s vo...
Sikrikim entered the Vishnitz Shul in Monsey during Rosh Hashanah and in the presence of the Rebbe, Shlita, who is considered the elder of the admorim in the USA today, began shouting against Deputy Education Minister Rav Meir Porush, who was present for yomtov. Also present was his son, Elad Mayor Yisrael Porush and twin grandchildren, who came for a bracha ahead of their bar mitzvas in Eretz Yisrael this week.

They returned on shabbos during laining, apprehended, and sent to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. As was the case in recent years, sikrikim organized groups to create disturbances such as these during Rosh Hashana in the USA. It is reported their number...
The incident begins with Israel’s disabled community protesting and blocking roads in their effort to achieve additional rights from the government.

Bitan stated the minimum wage increase they seek at present will not occur, adding “If there is budgeting available, I would first direct it towards the senior citizens or the seniors and the disabled” ...
As expected, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was reelected on Sunday to a fourth term in office in her country’s federal election, but many Jewish observers received the results with concern, due to the strong showing of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The latest tally — as of press time — showed the 63-year-old Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union getting around 33 percent of the vote, with Martin Schulz’s Social Democratic Party coming in second at around 21 percent. Merkel has served as chancellor since 2005. The populist and Eurosceptic AfD — which was founded in 2013 — finished third, notching 13 percent support. All mainstream parties have ruled out forming a coalition with Afd, which will become the f...
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says a Republican tax overhaul plan expected to come out this week will offer help for the middle class and businesses. He says the plan “creates a middle-income tax cut, it makes businesses competitive and it creates jobs.” Mnuchin tells ABC’s “This Week” there are changes, too, for the “high end,” including “getting rid of lots of deductions.” But he’s offering no specifics. In the past, Mnuchin has said there would be no “absolute tax cut” for the wealthy. On Sunday, he said: “It was never a promise. It was never a pledge. What it was and it is still, it was what the president’s objective was.” He added: “The current plan for many, many people it ...

‘I take my sleep incredibly seriously because I have seen the evidence,’ says Professor Matthew Walker A “catastrophic sleep-loss epidemic” is causing a host of potentially fatal diseases, a leading expert has said. In an interview with the Guardian, Professor Matthew Walker, director of the Centre for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, said that sleep deprivation affected “every aspect of our biology” and was widespread in modern society. And yet the problem was not being taken seriously by politicians and employers, with a desire to get a decent night’s sleep often stigmatised as a sign of laziness, he said. Electric lights, television and computer screens, longer commutes, the blurring of the line between w...

The Jerusalem legal counsel has ruled it is prohibited for Jews to bring arba minim on Har Habayis. He was responding to a request from Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, attorney Aviad Visuli, Yehuda Puah and Yochai Sarel. The legal counsel explained that visiting Har Habayis involves complying with the current religious status quo, which includes a prohibition to perform ritual activities containing overt external signs, including arba minim. Yehuda Puah, who heads B’Tzelmo, expresses sorrow over the ruling, which he finds is discriminatory, citing the prohibition mentioned above applies to Jews and not Muslims, hence the policy is not equal for all. In the accompanying video, Push tries to bring arba minim onto Har Habayis in 2013 and after being cited by a Waqf official who called Israel Po...
