Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is also making a highly publicized stop in Jerusalem, having met with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday. During their meeting, the president told Green “I hope this will only be the first of many visits.”

Max Fuchs, a U.S. soldier who volunteered as a cantor in a Shabbat service on the Aachen battlefield in 1944, died recently. The war veteran was 96 years old.

The chairman of the Likud South Africa Jewish group, Sergio Kowensky, was shot at his office in Johannesburg today. The murder occurred shortly after representatives from South Africa’s Jewish community declared that they’re seeing a rise in anti-Semitic rants in real life and on social media.
