DIVORCÉE GIVES BIRTH 9 MONTHS AFTER DIVORCE by Eliran Aharon A couple divorced ten months ago in accordance with Jewish law at the regional rabbinical court in Be'er Sheva. At the end of the divorce hearing, as with any divorce, the rabbinical judges determined that the woman was permitted to any man after 90 days. A month ago, exactly nine months later, the woman reappeared in the rabbinical court with a new partner after having given birth to a baby; The two sought to register the baby as their daughter. In these circumstances, in which the baby is born nine months from the date of divorce without the three-month waiting period as required, there is concern that the baby might be halakhically classified as a “mamzer,” a baby born from a relationship strictly prohibited by the Torah. A mamzer is disallowed from marrying most fellow Jews. The complex and delicate story was directed by the Attorney General to a special panel of the Be'er Sheva rabbinical court. The court investigated in depth the applicant, her ex-husband and her new partner and examined all the medical documents and gynecological reports. In an 11-page ruling, Rabbi Yehuda Deri, the head of the tribunal, dealt with a series of halakhic issues concerning the special circumstances. After reviewing the halakhic literature from the days of the Shulchan Aruch up until the present day, he ruled that, even though the baby was born without a waiting period and nine months from the date of divorce, she is the daughter of the new partner and is permitted to marry any Jewish man, including a Cohen, who is subject to various additional restrictions regarding whom he is permitted to marry. 3.

BENNETT: I DID NOT TORPEDO ALLIANCE WITH OTZMA - IT'S A LIE by Yoni Kempinski Former Minister Naftali Bennett, one of the heads of the United Right, rejected claims that he caused the failure of an alliance with Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party. "It is not true that I torpedoed the entry of Otzma Yehudit," Bennett told Effie Trigger on Galei Tzahal. “It’s a lie.” Bennett joined the Likud's direct attack on Liberman as someone who has removed himself from the right-wing camp. "Anyone who wants Right should not approach Avigdor Liberman with a ten-foot pole. He will bring about the establishment of a left-wing government," Bennett stated. As for the United Party's recommendation to the president, Bennett made clear that "We will recommend Netanyahu, what happens within the Likud does not interest us." On the issue of immunity, Bennett said: "Immunity is a possibility in the existing law. When we know the facts in the case against Netanyahu - we will make a decision." 5. JORDAN CLOSES GRAVE OF AHARON TO TOURISTS by Arutz Sheva North America Staff Jordan’s Minister of Religion, Abed al Nasr abu Bassel, decided to close the grave of Aharon the Cohen in Petra to tourists. According to local media outlets, the decision was made after a video was made public in Jordan of Jews praying at the compound, with the claim that the pilgrimage was “illegal”. The Jordanian Religion Ministry said it would launch an investigation in order to find out who allowed Jewish worshipers to enter the compound, adding that it would bring those responsible to justice.

SHAKED TO NETANYAHU: NO MORE MESSENGERS, TALK TO ME DIRECTLY   by Arutz Sheva Staff An article in Yedioth Ahronoth on Friday discussed the campaign which lies ahead for chairwoman of the United Right, Ayelet Shaked. "By profession, Ayelet Shaked is a computer engineer," wrote journalist Amit Segal. "This week, she engineered a list of analogous parties to a list under her leadership. Even if it ends with a single-digit amount of mandates, there's a revolution here. The control of Religious Zionism has returned to a balance between the haredi national religious and the liberal." Segal wrote that Shaked sent a message to Netanyahu saying that the messengers have to stop. "From her view, if Netanyahu wants something from now on, he shouldn't send Rafi and Michal Peretz to pressure her or Natan Eshel to persuade her. How did Baker say it to Shamir? 'When you're serious, give me a call.'" Segal described the job awaiting Shaked. "Even before she wins, she has to actualize the mandate from the polls into reality. The haredi national religious [Otzma Yehudit & Noam] will try to siphon her votes from the right and the libertarian [Zehut] will try to siphon votes from the left." "Shaked will have to do similar things even at a price of loss of sympathy and support. First and foremost: to prepare for a comprehensive campaign against the Likud, the party she almost joined in recent weeks and to which she still aspires for the future. If she doesn't step on the gas, the Unified list will be dragged under the wheels of the Likud." 7. POLICE: EL PASO SHOOTING COULD BE A 'HATE CRIME' by Ben Ariel 📹 To watch the video: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/266893 El Paso police said on Saturday they are investigating a manifesto that indicates that the shooting at a Walmart store in the city, in which 20 people were killed and 26 others wounded, could be a hate crime. El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said that a manifesto that may be from the suspect “indicates to some degree it has a nexus to a hate crime.” “Right now we have to validate for a certainty that this was the manifesto from this individual,” he added. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed the death toll Saturday night, calling it, “one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas.” Local hospitals have confirmed that they’re treating between 22 and 23 victims of the shooting. The suspect was apprehended after the shooting and is in custody. El Paso police first received reports of an active shooter at 10:39 a.m. local time at the Walmart at Cielo Vista Mall. El Paso police spokesperson Sgt. Robert Gomez said that the Walmart was “at capacity” at the time of the shooting and that between 1,000 and 3,000 people were believed to be inside. A video on Twitter showed shoppers running out of the store with their hands up. One witness told CBS News that he heard at least 10 gunshots as he was about to enter Walmart. US President Donald Trump tweeted: “Terrible shootings in El Paso, Texas. Reports are very bad, many killed. Working with state and local authorities, and law enforcement. Spoke to governor to pledge total support of federal government. God be with you all!" 8. POLL: NO ONE CAN FORM A GOVERNMENT by Arutz Sheva Staff A new poll conducted Friday by the Midgam Research Institute showed that neither candidate for Israel's premiership is capable of forming a coalition. According to the poll, the right-wing bloc without the haredi parties and the center-left bloc without the Arab parties are equal, with 42 Knesset seats each. The poll gave Yisrael Beytenu, considered to be the swing party, 10 Knesset seats. If elections were held today and the political map identical to its current status, the Likud would win 30 Knesset seats, followed closely by Blue and White with 29 Knesset seats. The United Right party, led by Ayelet Shaked, would win 12 seats, and the Arab Joint List would come in fourth with 11 seats. Ashkenazic-haredi UTJ would win eight Knesset seats, followed by Sephardic-haredi Shas with seven. The Democratic Camp - made up of Meretz and Democratic Israel - would also win seven Knesset seats. The Labor-Gesher joint list would receive six Knesset seats.Moshe Feiglin's Zehut would not cross the electoral threshold, garnering just 2.2% of the vote, and the Otzma Yehudit party would likewise fail to cross, securing only 1.9% of the vote. Together with the haredi parties, the right-religious bloc would win 57 Knesset seats, while the center-left bloc together with the Arabs would win 53 Knesset seats. In the poll, participants were asked if they support the creation of a unity government with the Likud and Blue and White parties. While 36% of right-wing voters supported the idea, just 34% of left-wing voters did. All told, 33% of respondents supported a unity government while 54% opposed it. Participants were also asked if they support a unity government including the Likud, Blue and White, and Yisrael Beytenu parties. While 35% of right-wing voters supported the idea, just 27% of left-wing voters did. All told, 29% of respondents supported such a unity government, while 59% opposed it.
