Wealth Disparity and Societal Control Within Haredi Communities Examined

A report details the significant wealth disparity within Haredi communities, where Rebbes and their inner circles often amass fortunes while most followers live in poverty, creating a system of financial dependence. Parallels are drawn to cults regarding leadership, information control, and social pressure. Economic hardship is exacerbated by low wages and limited access to high-paying professions, with the community heavily reliant on state funding. Increasing internet access is seen as a major factor contributing to societal fragmentation and a growing number of individuals leaving the Haredi sector.

2,000-Year-Old Aqueduct Supplying Temple Mount Uncovered in Jerusalem

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered a 300-meter section of a 2,000-year-old aqueduct that supplied water to the Temple Mount. The discovery was made during excavations for a new neighborhood and is attributed to the Hasmonean period. The ancient structure, an engineering marvel that used gravity to transport water over 21 kilometers, will be preserved and integrated into the neighborhood's entrance. The Israel Antiquities Authority plans to create a park along the aqueduct's route.
