15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Abbas Wants a State Instead of Israel'-Deputy Minister Akunis says Netanyahu will deliver 'the speech of truth' after Abbas's 'speech of lies.'By Shimon Cohen, Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/28/2014, 7:23 PM-israelnationalnews
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, MK Ofir Akunis (Likud), reacted sharply Sunday to the speech delivered by Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas at the United Nations General Assembly last week.Abbas “is making false and underhanded use of the podium at the UNGA to repeat the Palestinian lies that have become familiar to us in the 100-year conflict."In the face of Abbas's speech of lies, the prime minister must give a speech of truth, and he will do this,” Akunis said. No Jewish person, from the left or right wing, can help but be shocked by the toxic propaganda that Abbas used against Israel when he accused it of genocide.There is but one truth, Akunis explained. “Israel is right and the Palestinians are wrong. Israel wants peace and the Palestinians do not. Israel provides economic plenty even for those who are not Jews, and the Palestinian swant a Jew-free state.”"Abbas,” he added, “does not want a state beside Israel but a state instead of Israel. We are here to block him and to block the establishment of a Palestinian state on the hilltops of Judea and Samaria... These are tracts of land that have been ours for 4,000 years.”

Temple Institute Raises $100k for Third Temple Plans-The Temple Institute’s crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for architectural plans for the Third Temple has raised $100,000.By Yaakov Levi-First Publish: 9/28/2014, 6:07 PM-israelnationalnews
The Temple Institute’s crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the modern architectural plans for the Third Holy Temple in Jerusalem came to a close on Rosh Hashanah after surpassing its $100,000 goal in 60 days. The initiative began on the first day of the month of Av, when Jews commemorate the destruction of the ancient Holy Temples. Almost 900 pledges have come in from more than 30 countries worldwide.Crowdfunding is a new method of fundraising that leverages the power of the Internet to gather investments or contributions from around the world. The Temple Institute used the Indiegogo platform to reach out to supporters, with links to social media pages, like Facebook, where the campaign page received 10,000 shares. A promotional video on the Facebook and Indiegogo pages, which depicts a digital rendition of the Holy Temple on the modern day Temple Mount, has been viewed by over 160,000 people.Jews have prayed to rebuild the Temple, three times daily since its destruction by Roman Legions in 70 CE. The Temple Institute's project to draw up architectural plans began three years ago with the Chamber of Hewn Stone, depicted in this video.The funds raised from the Indiegogo campaign will be used to continue the research of the Institute and to commission additional architectural plans. The architects will fuse Jewish law with modern technology to prepare for a fully modern third Temple, Kosher to the letter of the law but including modern conveniences like underground parking, heating and computerized washing stations that minimize water waste.Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of the Temple Institute explained why they chose the novel approach of fund raising through crowd funding: "We are constantly looking for ways to include as many people as possible in our mission to rebuild the Holy Temple. This is not about one group or organization, it's about bringing about a spiritual reunification of mankind, today with the help of the internet our message is resonating across the globe. Our decision to use Indiegogo for this campaign was an extension of our success on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter".
Safed Chief Rabbi Surprises Knesset C'tee with Temple Mount Call-Chief Rabbi of Tzfat Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu calls for Jews to be more protected on the Temple Mount, safeguarding of conversion process.-By Hillel Fendel-First Publish: 8/15/2014, 9:09 AM-israelnationalnews
Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu asked the police to enhance both security and accessibility for the increasing numbers of Jews visiting the Temple Mount.Rabbi Eliyahu first participated in a Knesset Interior Committee session on the topic of conversions to Judaism on Wednesday. He then made a surprise visit to a sub-committee meeting held later the same day. His goal was to encourage procedures to ease Jewish visits to Judaism's holiest site. Eldest son of the late saintly Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, the Chief Rabbi of Tzfat (Safed) called for an end to the "disgrace" on the Mount, and said that Jewish visitors must be protected more actively. "The number of Torah-observant visitors is increasing," the rabbi told the police representatives at the session, "and the questions I receive indicate that this rate will continue. I ask you: Please protect my children and my students!""Even at my own Sabbath table," Rabbi Eliyahu said with his characteristic twinkling smile, "there are dynamic discussions about whether to visit the holy site. Half of my children do so." He confirmed that his father, a former Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel, has called for the construction of a synagogue on the Temple Mount.Religious Jews often come under threat by Moslem crowds during their visits to the Mount. In addition, the police often restrict their visits, closing the site to Jews altogether for days at a time.Earlier on Wednesday, Rabbi Eliyahu addressed the full Knesset Interior Committee regarding the current proposed bill to ease the process of converting to Judaism. He said that the Chief Rabbinate must remain the central player in everything having to do with conversion, and that if not, conversions in Israel are simply liable not to be trusted by the religious establishment.
He Didn't Come Here to Peel Carrots'-Knife-wielding terrorist who crossed into Israel from Gaza was caught by alert security officer.By Orli Harari, Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/28/2014, 8:00 PM-israelnationalnews
The Security Officer for the Sdot Negev Regional Council, Rafi Babiyan, told IDF Radio Sunday about the arrest of the terrorist who infiltrated from Gaza to one of the region's communities."We received an alert about a possible infiltration from Gaza,” he recounted. “The security men and the Military Security Officers started to roll out the emergency preparedness squads, in order to protect the communities. As we combed the area, we received word that a suspect was identified east of the community in an open field."They overpowered him and took away his weapons, a spike and a knife,” said Babiyan. When asked what the terrorists' intentions were he said wryly: “I do not know where he was headed but let's just say this: he did not come to peel carrots at Kibbutz Alumim.”The terrorist was caught eight kilometers inside Israel's territory – meaning that he penetrated a long way into Israel before he was caught. “The event is an irregular one,” agreed Babiyan, “and I am certain that the IDF will hold an inquiry into the event and learn lessons so that this kind of thing will not happen.”Tamir Idan, Head of the Sdot Negev Regional Council, credited the local Military Security Officer [a position usually referred to by the Hebrew acronym 'ravshatz'] for catching the suspect and noted that the IDF intends to slash the number of such officers in the region or turn them into part-time employees."Today, too, the ravshatzim proved their neccessity and their great contribution to the security array in the southern communities,” Idan said. “I am certain that following the lessons learned in Operation Protective Edge, and the latest event, the minister of defense and the prime minister will reconsider the decision to cancel ravshatz positions and cut them.”
IDF Opens New Mixed-Gender Battalion-The Bardelas battalion will be comprised of 50% women and 50% men and serve mostly in Central Command.By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/28/2014, 9:31 PM-israelnationalnews
The IDF is plowing ahead with its gender-mixng experiment and establishing a new mixed-gender battalion called Bardelas (cheetah), according to the IDF Website.The battalion will mostly be in charge of routine security in the Central Command region, which includes Judea and Samaria. It joins the mixed-gender Karakal battalion, which has been in existence for a decade.Fifty percent of the battalion's soldiers will be women.Critics of the gender-mixing experiment in the IDF have noted that women who serve in combat units suffer from an extremely high rate of injury and that often, entire platoons are disabled because of this. According to Col. (res.) Raz Sagi, who has authored a book on the subject, injuries suffered by women tend to be more serious and often involve stress fractures at the hip and uterine prolapse, which can cause permanent inability to give birth.In addition, the critics point out that in order to enable enough women to pass the physical tests for entry into the combat units, requirements for women are significantly lower than for men. In a physical test that includes jumping over a wall, for instance, the women are given a bench to step on as they climb over the wall. Another technique adopted by the military to mask gender differences is to have trainees run long distances in circles rather than in straight lines, making it less embarrassing for the women to lag behind the men, because no one can tell what lap they have completed at any given point in time.There is also great concern about the fate of women who are taken captive by the enemy. A military source told Arutz Sheva that in the recent fighting in Gaza, there were strict orders never to allow a female soldier to go anywhere without male accompaniment.The gender experiment in the IDF was largely conceived by a “gender team” that was led by Professor Naomi Chazan in the early 2000s.
88 Senators to Kerry: Hand Gaza to the PA-Senators urge the Obama administration to act to take Gaza away from Hamas and hand it over to the PA.By Ben Ariel, Canada-First Publish: 9/24/2014, 10:52 PM-israelnationalnews
88 senators are urging the Obama administration to act to take Gaza away from its Hamas terrorist rulers and hand it over to the Palestinian Authority (PA), The Daily Beast reports.In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry obtained by the website, the 88 senators write, “We must support efforts to enable the Palestinian Authority to exercise real power in Gaza. Hamas has demonstrated conclusively both that it has no interest in peace with Israel and that it has no concern for the well-being of Gaza residents.”The letter to Kerry was circulated in the senate by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican and Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat, according to The Daily Beast.The senators said in the letter they support humanitarian aid to Gaza but will oppose reconstruction of Gaza until Hamas disarms, a position which is the same as the Israeli government and which Hamas has rejected.The senators also urge Kerry to continue to work against efforts from PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to target Israel in international forums, such as the International Criminal Court.“All Palestinians deserve a government that will seek to advance their safety and prosperity—not use them as human shields,” the senators wrote.“Real peace between Israelis and Palestinians will require a Palestinian partner that controls the West Bank and Gaza, is focused on economic development and stability in both areas, and will accept Gaza’s demilitarization. We must start this process now.”This is not the first time that senators have urged Kerry to take action with regards to Hamas. In May, U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called on the Secretary of State to publicly state that there will be an immediate cut-off of relevant U.S. assistance to the PA, should its unity government fail to comply with the detailed requirements set forth by the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006.In September of 2011, a $192 million aid package was frozen by Congress after the PA submitted a failed unilateral bid for United Nations membership.Members of Congress later released $40 million in economic and humanitarian funding for the PA, saying it is “vital to establishing and strengthening the foundations necessary for a future Palestinian state.”In April of 2012, President Barack Obama bypassed a Congress block and signed a waiver declaring that aid to the Palestinian Authority is “important to the security interests of the United States.”(Arutz Sheva’s North American desk is keeping you updated until the start of the Rosh Hashanah holiday in New York.

Bennett: No Jews Will Be Afraid to Walk French Streets-On a visit to France Sunday, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett urged Jews still living in the country to come to Israel.By Yaakov Levi-First Publish: 9/28/2014, 10:51 PM-israelnationalnews
On a visit to France Sunday, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett urged Jews still living in the country to come to Israel. “Just this week we saw what hatred of Israel looks like,” Bennett told a crowd in Paris. “Our enemies fire rockets at our children and we defend ourselves, and then they get on the podium in the UN and accuse us of genocide,” Bennett said, referring to a speech given by Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas. “We say clearly that we will no longer allow Jews to remain defenseless, that no Jew will be afraid to walk the streets,” he said.Bennett arrived in France after several recent violent incidents against Jews in France. The most serious incident was an attempt by a Muslim mob to break into a synagogue in Paris in July. Muslim rioters surrounded Don Yitzchak Abarbanel Synagogue in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, and threw rocks into the house of worship. Large scale police forces were called to extricate the Jews.Bennett participated in an event in the synagogue, and is set to meet with community leaders and government officials, among them Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, with whom he will discuss security issues affecting French Jews.“With this visit, we express our connection to our brothers in France and all of Europe,” said Bennett. “If others will not be here to defend you, the State of Israel will always be by the side of all Jews, whoever and wherever they are,” Bennett added.
