Funny Incident

The heavy heat at the Dead Sea spares no one, and it turns out that it does not spare the animals in the area either. Guests at the David Hotel were surprised to discover a new swimming partner in the pool this afternoon: a particularly energetic duck that decided to cool itself off in the cool water, much to the surprise of the vacationers.

A video of a father accidentally calling out the wrong name for his newborn son during a circumcision ceremony went viral this past weekend. "It's a good thing I shouted quickly before the mohel could repeat the wrong name, and that way, according to Halacha, the name he shouted does not count," says Laim Abava in an interview with C14.
