8 Tevet 5769
According to Haredi news site Lada'at.net, Modi'in Elite (Qiriyat Sefer) will not be allowing Arab workers into the town until further notice. The decision was the result of the meeting between the mayor and the community council.
Apparently, the decision has the blessing of the city's rabbi, Rabbi Guterman.
The Avodah Ivrit Blog wishes them success, yet also reminds them that the community council of the town of Ofra tried to do the same thing. The council backed down from its decision, though, when one Ofra resident threatened to sue the town for discriminating against his Arab contractor who held Israeli citizenship,...and who also happened to employ Arabs with residency under the Palestinian Authority.
Aside from that, it will be interesting to monitor additional "incidents" which on the surface, are claimed to be a result of Israel's action in Gaza.

Common Sense
6 Tevet 5769
Someone has some sense in Modi'in Elite (Qiriyat Sefer), where this and other, similar graffiti can now be found.
Modi'in Elite, the mostly Haredi town between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv was the site of terrorist attacks at the hands of Arabs employees last week.
The graffiti above was painted between a store and a building site.
"We Do Not Support Enemies"

Insanity
3 Tevet 5769
This morning's terror attack by Arab workers in Qiriyat Sefer was no surprise. When business as usual continues tomorrow, that will not be a surprise either.
The following was a surprise...a surprise that the victims were so surprised.
Ma'ariv: Tzvika Deutch, brother of Aryeh Deutch who was seriously wounded from a stabbing in the head, said, "I have known the worker who stabbed him already for four years. He has worked for 13 years as the work manager on building sites in Qiriyat Sefer. He was a friend of everyone." According to him, "We were going to one of our houses to eat together, but probably something undermined him as a result of the [current] events [in Gaza]."
Are they going to chalk this up to post-traumatic stress, and rehire him next week?
He goes on to report that the worker came into ask his wife what needed to be done, and then preceded to stab her. Nothing just snapped. That was planned.
Another terrorist may still be at large.
Stop the insanity already.
Please recite prayers for Aryeh ben Vardah's complete recovery.

מעריב: צביקה דויטש, אחיו של אריה דויטש שנפצע קשה מדקירה בראשו, סיפר: "אני כבר ארבע שנים מכיר את הפועל שדקר. הוא עובד כבר 13 שנים כמנהל עבודה באתרי בניה בקרית ספר. הוא היה חבר של כולם". לדבריו, "היינו הולכים אחד לבית של השני ואוכלים יחד, אבל כנראה שמשהו בזמן האחרון התערער אצלו בעקבות האירועים".

Avodah Ivrit Supportive Towns
Sukkot 5768
There are some towns in Israel which encourage businesses to be Avodah Ivrit, some which only allow Avodah Ivrit into their towns.
Such towns include Yitzhar, K'far Tapu'ah, and the community of G'vaot Olam near Itamar in Samaria, and Sde Bo'az in the Gush Etzion area of Judea.
Building and agriculture are only two of the prospering local industries.
It is important to note that Sde Bo'az is a mixed religious and secular town which sets a great example for such cooperation and unity.
Unfortunately, Sde Bo'az is also one of the communities which has been under attack by neighboring Arabs and Israeli Leftists, who come to uproot Sde Bo'az's newly planted trees,...even on Tu b'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees.
Shilo has several residents who run Avodah Ivrit businesses, including some, but not all of the local vineyards. Shilo, like Hevron, is known for its artists as well. The attached communities surrounding Shilo, such as Ahiyah and Adei Ad are Avodah Ivrit oriented.
Surprisingly, not all communities within Judea and Samaria, for example, support and encourage Avodah Ivrit.
A few years ago, the town council of Ofra, to its credit, tried to encourage Avodah Ivrit within its community. Unfortunately, one of the residents who was renovating his house at the time, threatened to sue the town through the Israeli court system, and the Ofra Town Council decided to back down.
Several Ofra residents, and residents of neighboring Amona are involved with Avodah Ivrit-based businesses. We recommend that you support these businesses.
