These are tense times for Druze spiritual leader, Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif. His 120,000-strong Northern Israel community has been disproportionately afflicted by COVID-19 and yet slow to sign up for vaccination. The Sheikh has canceled Druze holiday celebrations to stem the spread of the disease and called for full compliance with Israel’s strict lockdown. His people are suffering, and he feels their pain. This past Thursday, though, I brought the Sheikh a message that made him smile.

Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu (pictured), the Chief Rabbi of Safed and a member of the Israel’s Rabbinate Council, says that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of America as a superpower, thus paving the way for Israel to take its place in guiding civilization forward.
“It is with great sadness that we can remember this event [storming of the US Capitol] as part of the process of America’s descent from the stage of history. It’s a sad moment, but it happens,” Rabbi Eliyahu wrote in a piece for Arutz 7.
The Hall of Remembrance in the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem (archive).
The tenth of the month of Tevet, which this year falls on Friday, Dec. 25 (irony of ironies?) is the general Kaddish day in memory of the dead and murdered whose day of death is unknown, including Holocaust victims. On this day, the relatives of the deceased light candles and say Kaddish and prayers to lift the souls of the deceased.
This 1949 decision of the Chief Rabbinate was a response the firm opposition of the senior Haredi rabbis to set a separate day of fasting in memory of the Holocaust, which they argued was already included in Tisha B’Av. Still, this compromise decision to commemorate the Holocaust in the framework of the existing fast on the 10th of Tevet was also not widely accepted in the Haredi public.
