Police Clash With Palestinians At Holy Site

Israeli police say officers scuffled with Palestinians who threw rocks from the most contentious holy site in Jerusalem. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said clashes erupted when hundreds of Palestinians exiting Friday prayers threw rocks at police officers stationed nearby. He said officers deployed non-lethal riot control gear. Police arrested four Palestinians and 11 officers were lightly hurt. The site is the location of the Two Botei Hamikdash and the future site of the 3rd Bies Hamikdash, but now it houses the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Violence at the site in the past has erupted into deadly battles. "Shualim Hilchu Bo."

A Very Special 'One Day' with Matisyahu

From the author: "Matisyahu sings One Day with a very special guest.....live at The Tarrytown Music Hall, Feb 16, 2012. Not a dry eye in the house!!!! Thank You Westhab! God bless you Luke!"

Huffingtonpost.com - When Luke Weber joined Matisyahu on stage to sing "One Day" -- a song that calls for hope -- he brought the lyrics to life. Luke is fighting cancer and for a chance at childhood. Chai Lifeline, an organization that offers programs and financial support to children battling life-threatening diseases, helped Luke in his fight when it made one of his biggest dreams come true.

The organization arranged for Luke to perform the Jewish reggae star's "One Day" at the Tarrytown Music Hall in New York on Thursday. "Sometimes in my tears I drown/but I never let it get me down," Luke sang to a cheering audience. "So when negativity surrounds/I know some day it'll all turn around." Luke's parents credit Chai Lifeline with giving their son a chance to feel like a regular kid. "They continue to amaze me,” Luke's mom, Eliza, told Jewishmom.com. "It is because of them that Luke is not a victim of cancer. He is the happiest, most cup-half-full kid we know."
