Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated at the start of the cabinet meeting on Sunday night that there is and will be no change in the status quo regarding the Temple Mount.
His office said in a statement that "the Prime Minister repeated his directive that the ministers of the government not go up to the Temple Mount without his prior approval through his military secretary."
Last month, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Temple Mount together with Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, on the occasion of the fast of Tisha B’Av.
On Sunday morning, MK Yitzhak Kroizer, also a member of Otzma Yehudit, ascended the Temple Mount.
"We pray for the success of our soldiers in the north, in Judea and Samaria and in the Gaza Strip in the face of our enemy in all place...
A woman and her husband were assaulted in Germany for wearing a t-shirt supporting the Israeli hostages held by the Hamas terrorist organization, the Jewish News Syndicate reported.
The attack occurred last Monday in the city of Heidelberg. The victim was wearing a shirt that stated 'Bring them home now,' a phrase popularized in connection with the 250 people who were abducted by Hamas and other terrorists from southern Israel on October 7 and the calls for their release from captivity.
The attacker grabbed the woman's shirt and demanded she remove it, lightly injuring her. He then repeatedly struck the woman's husband when he tried to help his wife, knocking out one of his teeth. The attacker later posted about the attack he committed on social media.

Consolation
Would you like to see prophecies of consolation coming true before your very eyes?
We’ve been reading the haftarot of nechama—consolation–which describe Jerusalem awakening from her slumber and coming back to life; Jews who are distant, both physically and spiritually, coming home again; and the Jewish nation returning to Hashem and to our proper place in the world.
And then I received a moving video with the following note: “Shalom, it’s Rabbi Reuven Taragin from Yeshivat HaKotel. Fifty new students arrived this week! These young men from the UK, the US, and Canada have graduated from high school and instead of going straight to college have chosen to spend a year learning Torah in Jerusalem, even during a time of war.

Baltimore, MD - Sept. 8, 2024 - There are times of small steps and times of giant leaps. With the opening of Elul Zman 5784, Yeshiva Gedolah Ohr Hatorah of Baltimore took a giant leap forward. With enrollment jumping to 59 Bochurim, coupled with 17 Kollel Yungerleit and the Hanhalas Hayeshiva, the sounds of learning coming from the Bais Medrash is immense! Under the guidance of the Roshei Hayeshiva Rabbi Dovid Hoffman and Rabbi Moshe Aharon Rosenbaum, shlita, Ohr Hatorah has become a magnet for Bochurim looking for a Bais Medrash where they can shteig and acquire a Rebbe. With four shiurim and an opportunity to learn with Kollel Yungerleit, every Talmid can truly reach new heights.

Jerusalem, Israel - Sept. 8, 2024 - With Rosh Chodesh Elul, Sefardim begin saying a month of daily selihos. This year at the Kotel large gatherings are planned, many more organized nights than in past years. The first two nights have seen thousands arrive and fill the Kotel Plaza for the middle of the night selihos.
On Thursday night, before going to the Kotel for selihos, Kesher Yehudi held a pre-selichot program for families of hostages at the Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel.
Previously, one event by Kesher Yehudi, brought secular and religious Israelis to the David Citadel Hotel for an “authentic Shabbat experience.” The Shabbaton included speakers discussing topics ranging from healing to the need for unity in Israel to spirituality.

The left lane is currently blocked.
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 7, 2024 – In a frightening early morning break-in on the 3200 block of Hatton Road, an intruder caused significant damage and theft. Around 2:00 a.m., residents were startled by a loud noise resembling an explosion. The suspect, wearing a ski mask, threw a gas tank from the homeowner’s grill through the home's glass sliding doors. After the first throw didn’t completely shatter the door, the intruder threw the tank again, successfully breaking in. Once inside, the suspect walked around the kitchen and eventually stole a purse before fleeing the scene.
Police are actively investigating the incident.

Baltimore, MD - Sept. 1, 2024 - As the month of Elul and the Yomim Noraim quickly approach, now is the perfect time to reevaluate. With internet devices and their distractions being ever-present in our lives, what better way to enhance our spiritual lives and reconnect with what’s important than to make a Kabolah, a pledge to limit our online interactions?
Small, measurable, and attainable goals can make a significant impact. Consider committing to one or more of the following through Yom Kippur:
Strengthening your filter settings
Removing an app you frequently use
Turning off your phone during dinner
Putting your phone aside during in-person interactions
Designating a specific room in your home for online activities
Leaving your...

Noted author and legal expert Alan Dershowitz has formally departed the Democratic party over anti-Istael sentiment at the DNC.
He explained the decision in an interview on Talkline with Zev Brenner: "It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I've experienced," he said. "I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted."
Dershowitz specifically criticized US Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, all of whom he criticized as "anti-Israel." He also criticized Rev. Al Sharpton, who in the past has been accused of antisemitism.
Along with the objections to the speakers, he denounced the convention's tolerance of anti-Israel protesters on the streets outside.
"That's not my party," Dersho...
