ISRAEL: BREAKING: The Israeli cabinet approved the Qatar-mediated deal in which Hamas will free 50 Israeli hostages, mostly woman and children, in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting in Gaza and the release of 150 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
Fun fact: Gaza's tunnel industry thrived b/c of Israel's siege (2006-present) & one of the earliest uses was to smuggle KFC from Egypt🧵

There was a ger that joined neturei karta and they asked him, of all the different sects you chose them? He said, I wanted to be jewish but I also still wanted to be an antisemite
Theres no reason those screens in shuls that have the schedules can't have the scores from the Friday night games on the bottom so we can know what happened
I always picture noach standing by the door of the teva after the mabul and as each animal leaves they turn to him and say "shkoiach reb noiach" and a little part of him dies each time
A shul jumbotron is a great idea, every aliya has stats, last aliya received, amount of aliyas gotten, a nice picture and a reason he deserves an aliya
NEW: We’re making a change that will allow for more restaurants to offer outdoor dining.
We will be allowing areas with fixed roofs that have two open sides comprising over 50% of the total wall space to be considered outdoors, in light of the air flow.
