Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Explores Cyprus Exchange Acquisition Amidst Competition

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange is considering acquiring the Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) for an estimated 20-40 million euros as part of its privatization. This interest is not new, with potential competition from European exchange group Euronext, which recently bought the Athens Stock Exchange. Cyprus aims to sell the CSE due to its consistent financial losses and need for professional management and investment. The CSE's privatization process will consider both the offered price and the business plan for its future development.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a memorial for victims of the October 7 attacks at New York's Union Square Park on Wednesday.

US Jewish Community Deepens Ties to Judaism Post-Oct. 7

A survey of 3,000 American Jews by the Jewish Federations of North America found that 38% have increased their engagement with Jewish life and their connection to Judaism since the October 7th Hamas attack. The study also revealed heightened concerns about antisemitism and a stronger emotional bond with Israel among this group. This trend of increased Jewish engagement is reportedly accelerating, with Jewish institutions working to meet the growing needs of the community.
