On November 19, British Home Secretary Priti Patel announced that she is seeking a terror designation for the Palestinian movement Hamas. Its military wing has already been banned in the United Kingdom, but now the government wants to extend the measure to the political party as well. If the designation is approved by the British Parliament, this would effectively criminalise support for the movement, including actions such as wearing clothing with its slogans or flying its flag.

Rabbi Michael Shields| Your Turn Whenever one of the great sages of Judaism, Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk, would replace a pair of worn-out shoes, he would neatly wrap up the old ones in newspaper before placing them in the trash and he would declare: "How can I simply toss away such a fine pair of shoes that have served me so well these past years!?"

Thousands of Orthodox Jews buy premium olive oil ahead of Hanukah because very observant Israelis increasingly like to use olive oil in their Hanukkah candelabras, instead of wax candles, because of its significance in the Hanukah story. Hanukah, which this year begins on Sunday evening, is a celebration of how the Maccabees, after defeating the Syrian Greeks, were able to light the two menorahs in the temple in Jerusalem for eight days with a one-day supply of olive oil.
