Rabbi Dov Shachor, an Israeli teacher at Fuchs Mizrachi School in Beachwood, has a strong connection to one of the three Israeli teenagers who were abducted by Palestinian terrorists June 12 in the West Bank.
In a telephone interview June 16, Shachor said he was the assistant principal and teacher of Naftali Frenkel, 16, for seven years at Dvir, a school for students in grades one through eight in Nof Ayalon, a small village in central Israel.

As we are now into the “Natural Events” season, we provide the following pertinent Halachos relating to the Brachos on these events–which serve to remind us that they are far from being “natural”.
The basis for the Halachos below is Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Chapter 227 and the Mishna Berurah there, the Sefer Shoneh Halachos and the Sefer Piskei Teshuvos on this Chapter in Shulchan Aruch. We specifically note that one should, of course, consult with his Rav for the final Halacha. We present the following for an understanding of the issues:
1. When experiencing an earthquake, one recites the brocha of “Oseh Ma’aseh Bereishis–Who makes the work of Creation”. It is also permissible to make the brocha of “Shekocho U’Gevuraso Malei Olam–His strength and His power fill the universe”. Piskei Teshuvos writes that the degree of the tremor is not necessarily relevant, as long as it is clearly felt.

Former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt has been hired as the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to David Pick, senior correspondent at Eurobasket.com and ONE.co.il, who tweeted that Blatt confirmed the deal.
Blatt will become the team’s 20th head coach – and the first coach to make a direct transition from coaching in Europe to being an NBA head coach.
(Hakhel) As the days pass by with hundreds of terrorists arrested–but with no apparent clue of the whereabouts of the bachurim, despite thousands upon thousands of the most highly trained soldiers being involved in the search, we all once again realize and internalize the absolute truth that “Ahl Mi Lanu Lehishaein Ahl Avinu Shebashomayim” (Sotah 49A)–we have no one to look to except to our Father in Heaven.” Thankfully, Hashem is not simply our King, our Creator, our Life-Giver–but He is also Avinu–our Father in Heaven–as the Pasuk explicitly teaches: “Banim Atem Lashem Elokeichem”–we are Hashem’s children, and He treats us as such.
One of the most well-known ma’asim involving HaRav Chaim Shmuelevitz, Z’tl, was when the Mirrer Yeshiva was about to recite Tehillim for the Jews kidnapped in Entebbe. Before the Yeshiva began, HaRav Shmuelevitz urged everyone gathered to view the hostages as his own close family members–and to recite Tehillim with this view.
