0:00Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it. Inflation is killing me! Who cares? Big retailers are making record profits! That's why we support the Durban Marshall Credit Card Bill! See? Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall Money Grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. The time is now 8.02 a.m. in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israel-Iran clashes, Israel said to use intelligence from Iranian civilians to target base-age checkpoints in Tehran. Drone struck checkpoints in Tehran Wednesday evening. Killing several members of Iran's security forces, including personnel linked to the base-age militia.

1:03In Iranian retaliation, Iranian UAV attacks against American bases and infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates continue. They target US military personnel living in Dubai's skyscrapers. In US military role, SENTCOM has announced the deaths of four service members, following the crash of a US Air Force KC-100 and 35 Stratotanker yesterday over Western Iraq. Search and rescue operations are underway for two additional missing crew members who were on board the KC-100 and 35. In antisemitism and anti-Jewish hate, a new-shite group calling itself a Shab al-Yamim has claimed responsibility for three synagogue attacks in Europe this week. The bombing of a synagogue in Leeds, Belgium, an attack in Greece and an arson attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The group seemingly did not exist before this week and does not have its own telegram or social media channels, though videos of the attacks appeared on Shite-Axis telegram channels linked to Hezbollah or the IRGC.

2:05The name translates as companions of the right, a detail noted by Ohad Merlin, who adds that the Qur'an uses metaphorical references to right and left and there may be links to Iran-related proxy networks. In uplifting news, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared at a rally that the federal government will never leave any doubt about where we stand and that we stand with Israel, promising to combat antisemitism and ensure Jews can move freely. His CDU party had unanimously approved a motion in February, calling for stricter criteria for aid payments to Palestinians, and an end to German and European subsidies to unrar, which Israel's Gideon Tsar called moral clarity. The post also notes Shabbat candle lighting times for Israel and the U.S. With local times varying in examples, such as 642 PM for candle lighting, and 742 PM for Shabbat end in some locals, along with other times listed for different areas, in Parashat-Ve'eqil Pequday. Wisdom of the Wise, the Torah describes the Miscans' construction

3:07across five portions from Teruma through Pequday, highlighting the phrases wise-hearted, and wisdom of the heart as essential for sacred work. Exodus 31, six is cited to show that God places wisdom in the heart of those who already possess wisdom, a point echoed by sages who say wisdom is granted to those who already have wisdom. In Parashat-Ve'eqil, a cahill at war, the Parashat centres on the nation's gathering to begin the project of building the Miscan, a moment of shared purpose known as cahill. It recalls Sinai's revelation and the hackle gatherings in Jerusalem, where the people assembled to hear the Torah and stand united in times of challenge.
