Coaching Legend to be Replaced by Jewish Former Star
FORMER DUKE UNIVERSITY basketball captain Jon Scheyer
will replace legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski when the latter
retires aft er the 2021-’22 season, JTA reported.

Scheyer, 33, has served as Duke’s associate head coach for
several years, rejoining his alma mater in 2014.

Scheyer was an all-America team captain in 2010 when
Duke won one of its fi ve championships under “Coach K,” the
winningest coach in Division I college basketball history. Upon
graduation, he played one season for Maccabi Tel Aviv and
obtained Israeli citizenship.

A native of suburban Chicago, Scheyer has a Jewish father and
had a bar mitzvah.

Science Adviser Takes Oath on 500-year-old Jewish Text
When Eric Lander was sworn in June 2 as the White House’s
science adviser, he did so on a 1492 version of Pirkei Avot — Ethics
of the Fathers, a Jewish text of moral precepts, JTA reported.

Lander, who is the fi rst-ever Cabinet-level science adviser, told
Vice President Kamala Harris at the ceremony that the volume from
the Library of Congress refl ected his Jewish and professional values.

“Th e world has experimented with intolerance, with the view
that everybody has to think like I think, worship like I worship,”
Lander told Religion News Service. “(But) the world experi-
mented in 1492 with tolerance — with the idea that we would
have a diversity of people and perspectives. I think the lessons of
the 1492 era are lessons for today.”
Lander is a geneticist who took leave from positions at both
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

French Holocaust Denier Receives Five-Year Sentence
for Making Death Threats to Prominent Jews
A French court sentenced a blogger who posted videos of himself
calling for prominent Jews to be murdered to fi ve years in prison,
JTA reported.

Th e tribunal of Cusset, a town near Vichy, handed down its
guilty verdict and sentence on June 3 to Ahmed Moualek, 53. He
posted death threats against Gilles William Golnadel and Alain
Jakubowitz, two Jewish lawyers, and also journalist Elisabeth
Levy, La Montagne reported.

Moualek is a former associate of Dieudonné M’bala M’bala
and Alain Soral, Holocaust deniers who founded the now-defunct
Anti-Zionist Party a decade ago. He was among the party’s founders.

Hebrew Israelite High School Football Player Forced to
Eat Pepperoni Pizza as Punishment
A Canton, Ohio, high school football coach and seven staff ers were
suspended aft er they punished a kosher Hebrew Israelite student-ath-
lete by forcing him to eat a pepperoni pizza, JTA reported.

Th e McKinley High School student was being disciplined for
missing a weight lift ing session on May 20. Coach Wattley Marcus and
staff members presented the student, 17, with the pizza four days later.

“Th ey order him to go into the gym. He sits in a chair,” Edward
L. Gilbert, an attorney for the boy’s family, told Cleveland 19
News. “Th ere is a pizza box on the fl oor. He picks up the pizza
— they tell him he has to, as punishment, eat that whole pizza.”
Gilbert said the coaching staff knew of the student’s religious
practices, which preclude him from eating pork.

Th e school district issued a statement saying it was investigating
the incident. ●

ISRAELBRIEFS Bridge to Temple Mount in Danger of Collapse
THE MAKESHIFT WOODEN BRIDGE leading
from the Western Wall compound to the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City is in danger of
collapsing, The Times of Israel reported.

The Mughrabi Bridge leading to the Mughrabi Gate
was built 15 years ago as a temporary replacement for
an earthen ramp, then in danger of collapsing.

Engineer Ofer Cohen wrote to the Western Wall
Heritage Foundation that, after examining the bridge,
he noticed the wood is “in a state of extreme dryness
and has many longitudinal cracks.” He called for the
bridge’s replacement.

But the Times said building in that area might
inflame tensions with both the Palestinians and
Jordan, who would consider it a provocation against
Muslims. The Temple Mount plaza houses the Al-Aqsa
Mosque, considered the third-holiest site in Islam.

Jordan and the Palestinian leadership don’t recognize
the site as holy to Jews, even though the first and
second Jewish Temples once stood there.

Hadassah near Jerusalem for several hours until
firefighters gained control over the fire. Residents
were allowed back into their homes later in the day.

Thirty-five firefighting teams and 10 firefighting
aircrafts worked to extinguish the blaze; there were
concerns that forecasted strong winds could spread
the fire further.

That same day, a large fire broke out in southern
Israel in a factory and warehouse near Be’er Tuvia,
The Jerusalem Post reported. The complex makes
and stores plastic goods. The fire was contained and
prevented from spreading to other facilities nearby.

Honduras Opens Jerusalem Embassy
Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández
announced on June 3 that the country will open an
embassy in Jerusalem after years of operating in Tel
Aviv, The Times of Israel reported.

Hernández said the move “will empower us on
the agricultural side, in the field of innovation and in
the field of tourism.” The nation already has opened
a commercial office in Jerusalem; that breaks its
long-held neutrality policy in the Israeli-Palestinian
Wildfire Breaks Out Near Jerusalem
A large wildfire broke out in Israel on June 4, The conflict.

Israel plans to open a diplomatic office in Honduras’
Times of Israel reported.

About 400 families were evacuated from Tzur capital city of Tegucigalpa. It opened a temporary
office there in August.

In February, Honduras, which had difficulty
in securing COVID-19 vaccines, obtained 5,000
Moderna shots that Israel donated.

IDF Breaks Up Smuggling Operation,
Hezbollah Involvement Suspected
Israel Defense Forces foiled a firearms and hashish
smuggling operation on June 2 and said the Hezbollah
terrorist organization might be involved, The Times
of Israel reported.

Security forces arrested an Arab Israeli father
and son from Jadeidi-Makr in northern Israel in
possession of 15 handguns, dozens of ammunition
magazines and 80 pounds of hashish. The IDF said
the contraband was worth about $616,000.

A solider operating a surveillance camera spotted
the smuggling attempt by the son, who was carrying
bags with the weapons and hashish. His father was
found in a nearby car.

The IDF said it believed at least some of the pistols
were meant for Hezbollah-orchestrated terrorist
attacks, but didn’t elaborate on how that conclusion
was reached. Hezbollah is known for funding itself
via drug sales. l
