Video: Tisha B'Av- A Personal Tragedy?

Why do we cry for something that happened nearly 2,000 years ago? And what can each one of us do about it? Produced for Oorah’s campers at both of Oorah's TheZone summer camps, as well as for Oorah families worldwide, this production is inspiring and enlightening no matter what level you're on. Hear a message of inspiration from Rabbi Heshy Forster and Rabbi Chaim Mintz, as well as the firsthand account from father Rabbi Shaya Levin on his perspective of the tragedy of Yisrael Levin z"l and Elisheva Kaplan a”h. Make this an inspirational Tisha B’av. Show your love for every Jew and Hashem will look down from heaven and see our suffering and bring Moshiach b’meheira b’yomainu amen!

Chicago Rabbinical Council  Guide to Starbucks Beverages
אב תשע"ח  July 2018
The good news is that there are many Starbucks locations that do not serve hot meat sandwiches. These are generally the Starbucks kiosks which can be defined as a Starbucks location, usually found in a mall, retail store, a bus or train station or airport, that does not sell hot sandwiches.The cRc is comfortable recommending any drink made from kosher ingredients (even though some others use ingredients that may not be kosher). 
 It is also worth noting that many items sold at Starbucks are dairy and chalav stam.

CRC-Over the years, Starbucks shops have evolved from simple coffee shops to stores that serve many kosher and non-kosher items, with the most serious non-kosher items being hot meat

Giyus Law passes First Reading with help of Lapid

The Law to draft yeshiva Boys to the Israeli army passed in the knesset after the Yesh Atid party headed by Yair Lapid voted for it from the opposition.  The bill passed with 63 in support and 39 against. The  Frum Knesset members were able to vote against it knowing that it would have passed anyway with out their support. In the event that Lapid would have voted against it they would have helped it pass by abstaining and they also made a deal with the Arab mk's to abstain as well to ensure its passing. They were able to save face by publicly decrying the bill while at the same time protecting the govt by helping it pass.

The bill will now need to two  more readings to become law.  Health Minister MK Yaakov Litzman  of the Agudah faction said “If the enlistment law passes three readings, we will quit the coalition. Despite his threat, analysts say Litzman will seek a extension to the law from the Supreme court that will buy him time until the next election when they can negotiate a better deal by joining the next government. On the other hand UTJ and Shas will insist on minor changes by tweaking the current bill and are hoping to pass it at the final reading.
