To those of you who can read Hebrew:
About two weeks ago, the Israeli paper MA'ARIV published a well - written article about Yehudah Meshi Zahav, his ZAKA organization and how millions of Shekel / Dollar donations just disappeared.

Mazze Baking without Gender Separation
B"H
The below picture shows a Mazze bakery in Israel. Men and women are working together side by side and no one is sreaming for a gender separation.
Pessach Preparations in Jerusalem
B"H
I spent a few hours in Jerusalem this morning. Shopping and taking pictures showing some Pessach atmosphere. An atmosphere, we don't really have in Tel Aviv.
Pessach shopping at the Machane Yehudah Market.
Nut cookies which are only being sold before and during Pessach. Kidniyot for Ashkenazi Jews but Sephardi Jews eat them. I love them and wish they would be sold throughout the year.
Those coconut cookies are free of Kidniyot. I personally cannot stand them because they are dry and have a soapy taste.
Mazzot variety at the Machane Yehudah Market
Many families only eat handmade Mazzot at the Seder night. The reason is that those Mazzot are quite expensive and not everybody can afford them. On the other days, most Jews eat machine - made Mazzot.
Selling of the Chametz (Mechirat Chametz) in Machzike'i HaDa'at.
Every Jew should have a Seder and sufficient food. A haredi charity organization is offering help.
Kikar Shabbat this morning.
Police arresting four executives of haredi Website
B"H
The haredi press doesn't mention a word but the secular newspaper ISRAEL HAYOM does. However, the truth is that no one has any details to tell.
Four executive employees of the Israeli haredi Website Be'Chadrei HaCharedim were arrested by the police. Why ? The police still don't want to announce the entire truth. The case may be rocking the entire haredi press.
There are rumours that "Be'Chadrei HaCharedim" employees may have threatened other people. The website itself claims not to know the reasons for the arrest. The police, on the other hand, have already announced further arrests of "Be'Chadrei HaCharedim" employees.

The police are NOT investigating KIKAR SHABBAT, as first mentioned but the site Be'Chadrei HaCharedim !
Picture of the Day
Seen at the Mea Shearim - Ge'ulah junction. Both neighbourhoods are entirely haredi. The "deleted" direction in the middle says TEL AVIV.:-)

Going to Jerusalem
Jerusalem - View from the Supreme Court to the Nachlaot neighbourhood

B"H
Only for a few hours, I will be in Jerusalem tomorrow. After arriving early in the morning, running around, getting some Pessach shopping done and taking photos in Mea Shearim, I will be returning to Tel Aviv. A few hours Jerusalem is enough. Feeling the tension and pressure there is so different from other parts of the country. What gets me most are certain radical thoughts of the inhabitants. After living in Tel Aviv for some time, I am not used to that anymore.:-)
Sand from the Desert
B"H
I am glad that I haven cleaned my window yet, as the latest weather report is telling us that a huge cloud full of sand is on its way. From the Negev up north. Tomorrow we are probably going to wake up covered with sand.:-)
