Eugen Gluck z"l, Bet El's Benefactor
by Yaakov "Ketzaleh" Katz
This week we lost a man who, in my opinion, was the greatest
Jewish donor and benefactor in the United States: Mr. Eugen Gluck. Eugen and
his wife Jean, who passed away a year ago, were both Holocaust survivors.

Interview with Eitan Shnerb, Father of Terror Victim
Originally published in Hebrew in Israel National News and translated by Hillel Fendel
Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, father of 17-year-old Rina, hy"d, related what happened this past Friday when his daughter was killed in a terrorist bombing. He spoke with Niv Raskin of Channel 12.
"Everything started when I took my children Rina [17 years old] and Dvir [19 years old] on a hike in the Land of Israel [in south-western Samaria, about 15 miles from Ben Gurion International Airport as the crow flies]. I wanted to spend some quality time with them. We arrived at the Danny Spring [named for Danny Gonen, murdered in a terrorist attack there four years ago], parked the car, and started going down on the path. Towards the end, there was a big explosion. I could tell right away that it was a pretty big explosive device."

Gas Law: A Boost for Future Judea/Samaria Growth
Israel's Natural Gas Law is now in Yesha [Judea and Samaria] too – after another long battle! Yesha leaders are relieved: "In a few years, an industrial zone without natural gas would be like an industrial zone without internet."

A three-year battle involving the issue of how Israeli law is applied to the Jews of Judea and Samaria has finally been resolved: The Natural Gas Law will be applied in Judea and Samaria within a matter of months.
