Olympics-Japan may keep some virus curbs until Games start -paper
Jun. 12 - The Japanese government is considering ending a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other prefectures as scheduled on June 20, but keeping some curbs such as on restaurant hours until the Olympics start in July, the Mainichi daily reported.
New coronavirus infections in Olympics host Tokyo have inched down during the last month of emergency restrictions although authorities remain concerned about the spread of variants and the continued strain on medical resources.
On Friday, the head of Japan's main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Yukio Edano, called for the Games to be postponed or cancelled, saying there was an "extremely high risk" of an explosive outbreak in August and September if they went ahead.
The Mainichi newspaper reported on Friday the government would ask restaurants to keep shorter hours and impose other curbs under the targeted quasi-emergency measures. Bars and restaurants are now asked to close by 8 p.m. and are banned from serving alcohol.
A final decision is expected late next week, a few days before the end of the current emergency state, which also covers the northern island of Hokkaido, host of the marathon event. more

Germany’s 1st post-WWII military rabbi aims to open door to more Jewish recruits
The son of a Holocaust survivor, Rabbi Mordechai Balla says one of the most important aspects of his new job is educating non-Jewish soldiers while ministering to all faiths’ needs
Jun 12 - Shortly after assuming power in 1933, Adolf Hitler banned rabbis from administering to Jewish conscripts in the German military. Later this month, the German government will install the first chief military rabbi since the ban, with more Jewish clergy set to bolster the lines in the near future. It has been 76 years since the conclusion of the Holocaust, and nearly 90 years since a rabbi has served in this capacity.
The appointee, Budapest-born Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer “Zsolt” Balla, told The Times of Israel that his goal isn’t only to provide religious resources for soldiers, but to normalize German military service for all prospective Jewish inductees... more

Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer (Zsolt) Balla says he 'will help all Jews live Jewish life'
For the first time in 100 years, and 76 years after the end of the Holocaust, a chief rabbi has been appointed to the German army.
Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer (Zsolt) Balla's appointment ceremony will take place in Leipzig in three weeks, according to several reports. At least ten other rabbis will also be appointed to various posts in the German army.
"It is a great responsibility. We have to help all Jews live a Jewish life, if they are looking for kosher food and the opportunity to pray," Balla told Kan public broadcaster Thursday .
Germany has reportedly allocated € 5 million to establish the army's new chief rabbinate.
The German army does not record the religious affiliations of its members. But an estimated 300 Jews, 1,400 Muslims and 94,000 Christians make up the armed forces of the Bundeswehr, German media reported.
In 2019, the German government approved a bill to allow rabbis to serve in the German military, a further sign, it said, meant to show that Jewish life is an integral part of the country... more
