“‘Sderot realized it has no one to rely on, so it is doing the work alone.'”

“The Home Front Command, meanwhile, said it was not responsible for ensuring bomb shelters are habitable.”

Full Text:

In the wake of recent warnings by military officials that Palestinians may intensify their Qassam rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, checks of bomb shelters in the hard-hit Negev town of Sderot residents have found that none of the 58 public shelters there are equipped for a long-term stay, and more than half require significant rehabolitation. read more

moshe

By Moshe Burt

For many years, since 1991 when Parsha Ki Tisa marked my son Philip’s Bar Mitzvah, I have spoken or written about a posuk in our Parsha which alludes to an event which took place 40 year later, in a subsequent Parsha.
