Word on the street is that it was an Arab sent by Iran. If so, there goes all of the conspiracy theories.
Na, just another one.

Quote
One of the congregants recounted the incident, saying the arsonist reached the Rabbi’s seat, a central place where Rabbi Yosef regularly receives dozens of visitors seeking guidance, and set it ablaze. The flames spread to the library behind it, damaging religious texts, including volumes of the commentary Yalkut Yosef and works by former Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. The prayer stand used by the Rabbi was also burned.

Despite the destruction, Ozan noted a remarkable detail: the Rabbi’s personal prayer book was left untouched by the flames.

The plot thickens. After setting the shul fire, the arsonist apparently climbed a bunch of flights up in my building, where he tried to set an apartment door on fire (but it wasn't flammable), spray-painted the name of the family on the walls and added a cross on the door of the apartment next door for good measure. The families in question are not at all affiliated with the Bet Knesset. What gives?

If the manage to get it all done in the alotted time, it would be a minor miracle. Though if they do it smartly, they could possibly gradually decrease the length of line that is out of service.
For a surprising update... they seem to be working full speed ahead, war or no war...

or is the shekel strengthening bec many investors see an end to the war, and crazy spending etc...
and if you borrowed money in dollars and got shekel @3.7+ this rate is great!

Dollar is super weak now. I'm not sure why it's gotten weaker specifically in the last week, though. It was strong up to the tariff announcement, but last week the China deal was announced, so I'm not sure why it's gotten weaker instead of stronger. CHF to USD is 1.26 which is pretty much the highest in the last 20 years or so.

It got weaker this week because investors don't like the "big, beautiful bill" especially the senate version of it and what it will do to the national debt.

Just when I'm about to visit...

Also Bibi leaving for the US when I arrive. I was hoping to get a good seat to watch the circus at the district court.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

This is the large majority of it. There was a risk premium associated with the shekel which, I guess after the Iran thing the market has decided is no longer warranted so now we are keeping up with the rest of the world in terms of usd
