  1. Craig Robertson says:

    Is this what you call war ? A country absolutely loaded in Arms against a country with no money ?

  2. Yaacov Asher Lev says:

    Craig, Israel has a little money and Hamas has no lack of weapons.

  3. Carl Hagensen says:

    Day 6? Usually it doesn’t take Israel much longer to finish off the foolishness of their attackers. Eretz Israel!

  4. Steven Greenwald says:

    mr morsi must disband hamas .. 16 of his soldiers were murdered by islamic fanatics

  5. Jonathan Hart says:

    I am for Israel;I wish that Hamas would become week and fall apart or surrender. Also,I very much like your enthusiasm;I cheer for Israel also.

  6. Victoria Stephans says:

    Craig, Iran is supplying Hamas’ weapons. I doubt they will run out until Israel destroys their means of firing them.

  7. Darlene Brooks says:

    Stand Strong Israel!! get these evils out of Gaza.Israel needs to take Gaza back which belongs to Israel! Prayers and Gods blessings with you’ll!

  8. Craig Robertson says:

    Yes Victoria but it is all just a mess, it will just go on & on. Too many innocent people suffering.

  9. Darlene Brooks says:

    These evil hamas, jihads , have been in libya and worked their way to Gaza!!

  10. Wayne Delaporte says:

    AUSTRALIA SUPPORTS YOU ISRAEL…!!!

  11. Israel's soldiers know they must be very careful to avoid being captured.

  12. Robert Birdwell says:

    A well placed shot creating a "sucking chest wound" is the best deterrent for kidnapping.

  13. Avri Balofsky says:

    Shouldn't you be attributing this feed to The Muqata (Jameel), and not claiming it as your own?

    • Avri Balofsky says:

      I am seriously appalled by this. All copied word for word except for the first post of the day "6:54 AM Good morning Israel. Muqata reporting will begin soon."

    • David Lange says:

      Jewish Press has also done that to me before. Mind you, I've had a lot of stories ripped the past few weeks.

  14. way to much information……………….

  15. Jag Gaynor says:

    In checking out the paper today there was a bi-line to a story, "ELEVEN CIVILIANS IN GAZA KILLED." What about Hama's missiles indiscriminately shot into Israeli residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, schools, etc., which preceded the rockets that were only RETURNED? How come they only show the aggressors as the victims. Why does our American press hate our only true friends in the middle.
    east? You don't think it's because they're JEWS & CHRISTIANS now do you? It only makes me think my own country's government hates JEWS & CHRISTIANS as much as the Muslim Barbarian Murderers do? Naw, that couldn't be, or could it? It literally breaks my heart to think of the possibility that my own government has become so like the NAZI'S or SOVIET COMMUNISTS we so wholeheartedly engaged in a hot WWII and then a COLD WAR to defeat. Someone tell me this is a BAD DREAM and it'll all be over when I wake up. Tell me I'm in an episode of "The Twilight Zone," and that I just missed Rod Serling's intro, and that the end of the show will happen after the epilog. Or if you prefer, "The Outer Limits," and they'll soon be returning control of my TV set to me. Can anyone do this? OK, it's not a dream. ISRAEL, DEAR ISRAEL, with the help of GOD, please KICK THEIR MUSLIM ASSES AND TAKE YOUR LAND BACK AND DON'T EVER GIVE IT UP AGAIN FOR A PHONY PROPOSED PEACE. You CANNOT negotiate with TERRORISTS, and it's NONE OF OBAMA'S BUSINESS.

  16. Josh Jaye says:

    I've learned a lot from this site and it matters not whether the stories came from the Muqata, Jewish Press, Jerusalem Post etc. We get NO real information from the Lame-Stream Media in America. ALL Left-Leaning and ALL Lies. I want to know what is happening in Israel. I cannot learn anything from the Communist News Networks here….BTW….our own "president", Barack Hussein Obama is in a lot of hot water over his refusing to send help to our Ambassador Stevens in Libya. He sat in the white house situation-room and watched our Ambassador and 2 Navy Seals being slaughtered by muslim terrorists. It was live-streamed, in real time, to the white house by two Drones, which filmed the killings….for 7 hours! They called for help, but were refused by Barack Obama. Do you know anything about that?

Yet all are part of one neshamah, planted in rich, verdant soil, determined to grow. May our garden continue to produce a glorious assortment of flowers and trees, each attached firmly to its roots. Our diverse southern vegetation flourishes and grows into different trees, flowers, and fruits, and a rainbow of glorious shades and hues appears. Yet each shoot is rooted in the same soil, stretching its branches and blossoms heavenward in an endless pursuit of growth and connection to the One above.

This past Lag B’Omer, we were blessed to make our first upsherin, where we celebrate our son’s first hair cut. It’s a wonderful milestone that mimics the three years that we refrain from plucking a tree’s first fruits and symbolizes the entry of the child into the world of Torah learning. It’s a clear sign to everyone; this boy is no longer a baby.

Although there are more direct and faster routes to Beer Sheva and Eilat and all the sites and towns in-between, the Basor River is one of the beauties of the Negev that defiantly justifies a diversion.

The importance of death customs has been ingrained in me since birth. When I served as a shomeret for my grandmother, I was instructed not to eat, drink or perform a mitzvah in the same room. In the shock of death, it seemed rather inane to be told it would be considered mocking the dead. My grandmother was gone; she couldn’t do those things because she didn’t exist anymore, a fact that still makes me tear up.

I would have to say that one of the most annoying things about having a newspaper advice column, aside from all these people writing to me and asking for advice, is that they frequently don’t tell me WHY they’re asking.

Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l, who passed away on 28 Tammuz, (July18) this year at age 102, spent all of his days and most of his nights learning Torah. He was the paramount leader of our generation, and inspired tremendous awe and reverence in everyone who knew him. Now, every woman has the stunning opportunity to do something in his memory. A Sefer Torah is being written in his memory and women around the world have the chance to dedicate a letter.

Due to her family situation, it is understandable that she will have more responsibilities than other girls her age, but she would benefit from having some free time and receiving more appreciation for her hard work.

For children, summer means outdoor sports, picnics, and of course, no school! Teachers and students work hard all year long – and everyone deserves a break from education over the summer. However, this two-month break can often have some pretty devastating consequences.

It was only after we celebrated the great news that we were expecting twins that we saw the first sign of problems. First of all, my wife was losing, not gaining weight, even as the babies continued to grow normally. Soon after, routine blood work revealed that my wife was suffering from gestational diabetes.

Rabbi Pinchas Gruman is the new rav of the Minyan at Aish Tamid.

One of the most respected Torah figures in Los Angeles, Rabbi Gruman has been described as “The Los Angeles link in the mesorah of the yeshiva world” by Rabbi Nachum Sauer. As a talmid in Lakewood in the 1950s, Rabbi Gruman received semicha from Rav Aaron Kotler, zt”l, and Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles.

Another tree is down.

I’m driving down Lakewood Avenue, figuring that maybe, just maybe, the tree that blocked the middle of North Lake Drive has been removed, and I can go through. After all, they had a whole day. I’m sure things have been taken care of.
