• Following President Obama’s trip to Israel, a poll gauging the perception of Obama’s attitude toward Israel showed a marked shift. The percentage of respondents that think the American leader is pro-Palestinian dropped 20%. [JTA]

• Capt. Sarah Schechter is the first female chaplain to serve in the United States Air Force. Rabbi Schecter’s father was also a chaplain in the USAF. [Haaretz]
