Israel's Foreign Ministry Slams Norway Over Nazi Looted Torah Scroll Sale

Israel's Foreign Ministry sharply criticized Norway on Sunday over the auction of a Torah scroll looted during the Holocaust. The ministry condemned the desecration of the sacred text, which was reportedly used as wrapping paper by Nazi SS soldiers. This action coincides with Norway's reported plan to cut funding for student visits to extermination camps, drawing accusations from Jerusalem of misplaced priorities. The Foreign Ministry demanded Norway halt the auction, calling it a "moral low point."

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.
