The genealogy website MyHeritage posted 1.7 million Israeli immigration records online this week, making accessible a trove of ship and plane passenger lists stored in bound tomes at the Israel State Archives.

The records cover arrivals to the country for about 60 years starting in 1919. They include details such as the name of immigrants, country of origin, birth year, date of arrival, destination city and the name of the vessel they arrived on.

 


The bill that aims to completely prevent public transportation on Shabbat

S1l18FxSyj_0_134_1300_732_0_x-large.jpg


The amendment to the law proposed by Shas MKs will expand the powers of the Minister of Transportation so that he can completely ban public transportation on Shabbat, including private initiatives. MK Avraham Bezalel: "We respect everyone, but Israel is a country with a certain color"

The next battle for the Sabbath? Against the background of the controversy over the execution of the railway works on Shabbat, last week MKs Yosef Tayeb, Avraham Bezalel and Uriel Boso submitted an amendment to the Traffic Ordinance Law, which concerns the restriction of the operation of public vehicles on rest days. According to the proposal, the powers of the Minister of Transportation will be expanded and will apply to the types of public vehicles, including the train and the cable car, and not just the buses. Thus, if the amendment passes, the Minister of Transportation will be able to prohibit the operation of all public vehicles on Shabbat.

The proposal states that "the amendment will enshrine the status quo in the legislation, in accordance with the agreements from the period of the first government", and in the framework of it the three members of the Shas Knesset propose to replace the concept existing in the law, "public bus", with "public vehicle". It was also noted that MK Abutbol And other Knesset members submitted a similar bill in the previous Knesset.

As mentioned, the proposal to amend the law comes against the background of controversies regarding the train's work on Saturdays, and also after the promise of former Minister of Transportation Merav Michaeli that the light rail in Tel Aviv will also operate on Saturdays. In addition, today public transportation is already operated on Shabbat in several centers throughout the country, including in mixed cities such as Haifa, alongside private initiatives.

 

Trailblazing Jewish women who left their mark on Muslim world

From Osnat Barazani heading a yeshiva, through Flora Sassoon who ran a business empire and Jacqueline Kahanov who spearheaded new trends, Jewish women challenged misogynistic attitudes in patriarchal societies

It may be hard to believe, but back in the 17th century in Kurdistan - which covers swaths of northern Iraq - including modern-day cities like Erbil and Kirkuk, a Jewish woman by the name of Osnat Barazani actually served there as the head of a local yeshiva.

Barazani received a strict, religious education, another anomaly in 17th-century terms, but was brought about after her father, Rabbi Shmuel Barazani, bared no sons. After he and her husband, Rabbi Ya'akov Mizrachi, both passed, the baton was passed to her, and she grabbed it with both hands.
"It was brought about by a set of circumstances," Bnaya says. "There was no feminist angle to this chain of events. Still, in today's terms, she could serve as a role model, having been a religious scholar of great value, with her gender not being an obstacle."
Barazani's story is one of many in a line of trailblazing Jewish women grasping leadership roles in Muslim countries. How did Jewish women handle modernity and secularism in countries like that? How were tradition and modernity combined and what does any of it have to do with feminism? Bnaya believes she can shed some light.
For her, the voyage she embarked on to uncover the stories of all these women served as a journey of self-discovery as well. "Part of it was leaving behind a narrow-minded agenda," she says. "Some women were self-defined Jewish-Arab women like Lebanese author Esther Moyal. Some were Sephardi like poet Emma Lazarus, who wrote the Sonnet 'The New Colossus.' Others dealt with tradition and feminism directly, like Laura Papu."

Tempe Mount Updates | A Temple Mount Moment - Minhah Prayer

Today we are able to utter the afternoon Mincha prayer in a minyan (quorum of ten or more Jews), while standing on the eastern edge of the Temple Mount and facing westward toward the gates of the Temple (Beit HaMikdash), just as pilgrims did during the days of the Temple.

A Temple Mount Moment is the joint project of the Temple Institute and High on the Har. Temple Mount experts and co founders of High on the Har, Dr. Melissa Jane Kronfeld and Rabbi Yehuda Levi present each week fascinating facts and insights about the Temple Mount and the Holy Temple, its past, present and future!

This can also be a Jewish boy,

What surprises me the most abut that photo is that the boy is still alive.

Murdering Palestinian children is what the IDF sniper teams are known for.

The list of murdered Palestinian children is long, very long.

On the other side of the coin the Zionists will claim that the Palestinians murder children too but fail to provide any proof.

The Israelis have even given out metals to IDF sniper teams.
The army is investigating an incident in which soldiers on the Gaza border apparently filmed themselves cursing and cheering at Palestinians while shooting them.
IDF to discipline soldiers who filmed sniper video

Israel's Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said during a press conference on Tuesday that the sniper who was filmed shooting a seemingly unarmed Palestinian along the Gaza border fence "deserves a medal" for doing his job, while the soldier who filmed the incident deserves a citation.

Sniper ordered to shoot children, Israeli general confirms
Israeli Brigadier-General (Reserve) Zvika Fogel

The above General bragged about the children he had assassinated.

An Israeli general has confirmed that when snipers stationed along Israelโ€™s boundary with Gaza shoot at children, they are doing so deliberately, under clear and specific orders.


In a radio interview, Brigadier-General (Reserve) Zvika Fogel describes how a sniper identifies the โ€œsmall bodyโ€ of a child and is given authorization to shoot.

The boy, shot in the head
east of Jabaliya, was the fourth child among the more than 30 Palestinians killed during the Great March of Return rallies that began in Gaza on 30 March.

More than 1,600 other Palestinians have been shot with live ammunition that has caused what doctors are calling โ€œhorrific injuriesโ€ likely to leave many of them with permanent disabilities.
