ISRAEL UPDATE-- SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 Key Senate Committee Advances Pro-Israel MeasuresOn Sept. 7, the Senate Appropriations Committee advanced a number of pro-Israel measures in the Fiscal Year 2018 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Bill. The bill provides $3.1 billion in annual security assistance to Israel and provides Israel with $7.5 million to aid refugee resettlement. The legislation maintains key restrictions on assistance to the Palestinians and adopts the Taylor Force Act, bipartisan legislation to cut funding that benefits the Palestinian Authority due to its practice of providing payments to terrorists and their families. The legislation includes new language to address the anti-Israel bias at United Nations (U.N.) organizations, such as five percent withholding of any U.S. funds to a specialized agency or other U.N entity that takes official action against the national security interest of the United States or U.S. allies, including Israel. Funding can only be released if the Secretary of State determines that the agency is taking steps to address the action that resulted in the reduction. The measure also maintains stringent restrictions on U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) funds.

K.I. partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. Learn more by visiting www.aipac.org or contacting AIPAC at 202.639.5200.

We thank Arnold & Carol Caviar for donating fruit and vegetables every week for our Kiddush.

Rabbi Shron’s Joke of the Week: Chaim Yankel walks into Yossi’s Kosher Fish-mart with a fish under his arm. “Do you have any fishcakes?” Chaim Yankel asks. “Yes, of course,” says Yossi, the store owner. “Great,” replies Chaim Yankel, nodding at the fish under his arm. “It’s his birthday.”

PRAYER FOR HEALINGMi shebayrach avoteinu, M'kor hab'racha l'imotaynu, May the source of strength, Who blessed the ones before us, Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing, And let us say, Amen.

Mi shebayrach imotaynu,M'kor habrachah l'avotaynu, Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'laymah, The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit, And let us say, Amen.
