Adam Fox First Jewish Player to Win Major NHL Award
NEW YORK RANGERS defenseman Adam Fox was named on
June 29 the winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy, which
honors the National Hockey League’s top defenseman, JTA reported.

Fox, 23, is a former star at Harvard University.

Aside from stopping opposing scorers, Fox led NHL
defensemen with 42 assists and fi nished second in points with
47. He also was recognized as fi rst team all-league.

When the New York Post asked him in 2019 about being one
of the NHL’s few Jewish athletes, he said, “It’s defi nitely nice to
represent a community, for sure.”
Yale Student Council Approves Statement Critical of Israel
Yale’s student council approved a statement on June 27 written by
a campus pro-Palestinian group that accuses Israel of genocide,
ethnic cleansing and apartheid, JTA reported.

By an 8-3 vote with four abstentions, the undergraduate student
government, which is called the Yale College Council, approved
the statement authored by Yalies 4 Palestine, the Forward reported.

Yale’s campus Hillel criticized the resolution and, aft er it was
adopted, said it had “antisemitic overtones.”
“It characterizes the Jewish state as an agent of the world’s
most reprehensible forces and guilty of the most unspeakable
crimes — in other words, demonically,” the Forward reported.

“Th is genealogy may be invisible to its authors and adherents
because the outsized perfi dy they ascribe to the Jewish state is
formulated in distinctly contemporary terms — but is clear,
terrifying and familiar to us.”
GOP State Lawmakers in Washington and Alaska
Compare Coronavirus Protections to Nazi Laws
Republican lawmakers in Washington state and Alaska likened
coronavirus mandates to Nazi laws, which Holocaust remem-
brance and Jewish groups say is off ensive, JTA reported.

State Rep. Jim Walsh of Washington wore a yellow star in a
speech to conservative activists.

“It’s an echo from history,” Walsh wrote on a Facebook page
where the event was recorded, Th e Seattle Times reported. “In
the current context, we’re all Jews.”
Walsh later apologized on a conservative radio talk show.

Meantime, in Alaska, state Rep. Ron Gillham posted on
Facebook a photo of Nazis being executed.

“Members of the Media who lied and misled the German
People were executed, right along with Medical Doctors and
Nurses who participated in medical experiments using living
people as guinea pigs,” Gilliam wrote.

Gillham later removed the post, but told the media he did
so only because the photo was inaccurate and that he was not
advocating for executing media, but for accountability.

Haredi Orthodox Village Planned for Mexico
Th e foundation stone was laid for a “City of Torah” in Mexico
— the fi rst village in Latin America to be comprised almost
exclusively of haredi Orthodox Jews, JTA reported.

Th e village, under construction about 75 miles southwest of
Mexico City, will begin with 40 houses and hopes to attract 120
families by 2024, its developers said.

It will span about a square mile at fi rst and feature a yeshiva;
synagogues and schools for both its Ashkenazi and Sephardic
populations; a kosher supermarket; and a gym complex. ●

ISRAELBRIEFS Only Six Die in Israel from COVID-19 in June
ALTHOUGH COVID-19 CASES are on the rise in Israel,
the nation reported its least deadly month since the pandemic
started, The Jerusalem Post reported. Just six people died from
the virus in June.

But, as of July 1, there were about 2,000 active cases in the
country, compared to fewer than 200 in the early part of June.

Still, the number of cases considered serious had only climbed
to 29 on June 30, just above the recent low of 21 recorded on
June 19.

Only 0.6% of the 60,000 tests processed on June 30 were
positive, which is an increase from the positive rate of not more
than 0.2% that Israel recorded for several weeks in May and early
June. That’s still well below the positive rate at the peak of the
pandemic, when it topped 10%.

Mount Meron Site Demolitions Concern Victims’ Families
Demolition underway at the Mount Meron holy site where 45
men and boys died in a crowd crush during Lag B’Omer festiv-
ities is concerning to the victims of the families, The Jerusalem
Post reported.

Those families worry that the state commission of inquiry’s
report will be compromised by “changing facts on the grounds
at the site,” the Post reported.

The orders of demolition were posted at the site on June 20 —
the same day the committee was approved by the government.

A spokesman for the Forum of Families of Meron Victims
said the families were worried that the demolition orders would
cover up evidence regarding the disaster’s causes.

First All-female Tank Crew Set for Egyptian Border
An Israel Defense Forces tank entirely staffed by female soldiers,
which includes a female commander, will be sent to the Egyptian
border for the first time ever, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing
KAN news.

The Post reported that the IDF remains uncertain whether
the latest pilot program to integrate women into the Armored
Corps is successful. The program is expected to conclude next
year, with a decision made then about the future of women in
tanks. A poll earlier this year by Geocartography Knowledge showed
that more that 70% surveyed supported women in combat roles,
while just 11% said women shouldn’t be a part of the IDF in any
capacity. Domestic Violence Complaints in Israel Rise 800% in
Coronavirus Era
State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman said domestic violence
complaints have soared by 800% since the pandemic began, The
Jerusalem Post reported.

Those numbers included 13 women killed by their partners in
2020, an increase of 160% from a year earlier.

Englman’s report said there was a 26% increase in requests
for help to welfare centers and shelters from domestic violence
victims, while police opened 22% more domestic violence cases.

“These notable increases highlight how crucial it is to increase
the activities of social welfare services for preventing the phenom-
enon, locating families which are trapped in a cycle of violence
and providing support and assistance both to victims of violence
and toward rehabilitating violent men,” the comptroller said. l
