Court urged end to stray dog killings
Stray dog killings reach 1300 in 2025
Nine students named Presidential Scholars candidates
The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a petition filed on February 19 with the Jerusalem District Court is calling on the Israel Nature and Parks Authority to stop shooting and killing stray dogs in and around nature preserves. Let the Animals Live says the INPA killed approximately 1,300 stray dogs in 2025, up from 794 in 2024. The animal rights group characterizes the practice of killing dogs found in or within 500 meters of nature preserves as cruel and beyond moral standards. The petition argues that the INPA's Procedure for Treating Feral Dogs contradicts Israel's Animal Cruelty Law, rabies ordinances, and prior High Court of Justice rulings that require non-lethal options to be exhausted before euthanasia, and that shooting is prescribed as an alternative to treating rather than following those requirements.
In Uplifting News, Nine students from Jewish day schools across the country have been named candidates for the US Presidential Scholars Program, one of the nation’s most prestigious awards for high school seniors. The students are: Jonathan Beyderman of Yeshiva Tiferes Torah in Boca Raton, Fla.; Akiva Cohen and Hillel Wolkenfeld of Hebrew Academy of Greater Washington in Silver Spring and Washington, DC; Adam Daniel of Bi-Cultural Hebrew Academy of Connecticut in Stamford, Conn.; Elizabeth E. Gabbay of Northwest Yeshiva High School in Seattle, Wash.; Ruby C. Kotok of Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Gaithersburg, Md.; Shira Listokin and Ari Yellin-Levine of New Jewish High School in Newton Center, Mass., and Providence, R.I.; and Nathan Szubin of Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Washington, DC
