Israeli Court Orders Return of $500,000 Misused by Charity Officials

Israeli Court Orders Return of $500,000 Misused by Charity Officials

A Haifa District Court judge has ordered two charities and their former officials to return 1.8 million shekels ($500,000) that were improperly managed and spent. The ruling follows an investigation into "Keran LeChaim" and "Keran LeChaim for Children and Youth," which revealed alleged misuse of funds, including transfers to personal accounts and payments for unproven services. The court found that funds from a donor's estate were moved between charities using forged documents to avoid oversight. The officials are accused of disregarding their duties and using donations for personal gain.

Senior Rabbi Rules Against Purchasing Oil from Arab-Harvested Olives

Rabbi David Bigman ruled that purchasing olives or olive oil harvested from Arab groves in Judea and Samaria without owner permission is forbidden by Jewish law. The ruling, based on opinions from Gush Etzion rabbis, states that such harvesting is considered theft and a desecration of God's name when done by Jews. The prohibition extends to buying oil from presses that acquire these olives, as it aids transgressors and encourages further theft.
