cool shot taken of the Bat Yam Hockey Team playing an exhibition game against the Dubai Mighty Camels, in Dubai, this past Motzei Shabbat. Cool lineup of Cohen, Levy and Israel..

No, I don't know why #14 doesn't have his name on his jersey as the others do, nor why the others don't have "Israel on their jerseys as 14 does (unless Israel is his name)...

a little bit of good will can go a long way

Fighting about what to name a child is not uncommon. In the Haredi community there is generally a policy to go by, if the couple is part of that community and willing to go by it - as to which parent gets naming rights for which child. But even then there are exceptions, such as in a situation where a close relative recently passed away. 

At the end of the day, no matter what the original agreement or policy followed is, a bit of good will goes a long way.

When there is a divorce, there is often, perhaps too often, very little good will.

Haredim10 brings a recent case that ended up in family court in Petach Tikva. The couple is in the process of getting divorced. They have already separated and Momma gave birth to a little baby boy. Mazel tov!

Momma named the baby, she even gave him two names, and Papa realized that neither name is the name of Grandpa, his late father. According to Papa, they had had an agreement that the baby would be named for Grandpa. When born, Momma gave the baby two names, neither of them the "agreed upon" name of Grandpa.

Papa claims that Momma acted in bad faith, reneging on the agreement, and in doing so she prevented the father from actualizing his rights as guardian of the child.

Momma claimed that there was no such agreement to name Baby after Grandpa, and Papa attempting to change the name in the Ministry of Interior was unilateral without consulting her. Momma refuses to acquiesce to changing a name to satisfy Papa and claims that he is only fighting this issue just to oppose her.

The judge proposed a compromise - change the child's second name to the name of Grandpa, while the mother's original chosen name would remain the child's first name and would likely be the name used on a daily basis.

Momma refused to compromise on this. 

The court brought in a social worker who supported Papa's claim to change at least the second name to Grandpa's name.

Eventually Momma agreed to change the name and requested to not be charged with court costs for this. 

The court accepted the arrangement, but also charged Momma with the court costs. The judge decided that even without her agreement, the father has the right as guardian, just as the mother does.

So basically, fighting over the name of your child can get so bad that it could end up being decided by a judge. A little bit of good will can go a long way. There's really no reason to get so bitter.

Bad timing?

Not to fuel conspiracy theories, but it seems strange to me, a bit too much of a coincidence, that right when the world population starts vaccinating an announcement is made of the discovery of a new mutation with a very high morbidity rate. World leaders and medical experts have yet to say the vaccine is definitely going to be effective for the new mutation, though they seem to be saying they think it will be.

Coincidence? Bad timing? Part of something bigger? I don't know.

Peace/Normalization with UAE, Dayeinu

According to TOI, Amazon is considering the possibility of shipping goods to Israel, filling orders by Israelis, from its warehouse in the United Arab Emirates. Obviously this would only be for items supplied by Amazon rather than from third party sellers.

This would give Amazon a stronger foothold in Israel. It would also make shipping items to Israel faster and almost definitely cheaper.

If the only benefit to Israelis from  the peace deal, the normalization agreement, with the UAE is better and cheaper shipping from Amazon, dayeinu!

The only question it raises if that means Amazon won't open warehouses or business/operations centers in Israel, or if shipping from Dubai would be temporary until it gets the Israeli warehouse worked out?

Quote of the Day

Jerusalem will remain united - but there is also room for a Palestinian capital in Jerusalem. 

  -- Defense Minister (and Alternate Prime Minister) Benny Gantz, in interview to a Saudi newspaper

not really sure what that means. How can two countries control [parts of] a city? Which country decides all the various issues necessary - political decisions, logistical, security, etc?
