• Yes, even you can live in a historic East Village Synagogue with your own personal hot tub. [EVGrieve]

• Shaul Mofaz and President Obama met in the White House and discussed reopening peace negotiations. [JPost]

• The family of one of the victims of the Carmel forest fire is asking the Prime Minister to fire the ministers found at fault in a recent report, including Interior Minister Eli Yishai. Just a note, if this was the United States Cabinet he would have been fired two years ago. [Times of Israel]

• Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes, who has been accused of softballing sexual-abuse cases in Haredi communities, has charged four Satmar men with attempting to silence accusers with bribes and threats.

It’s very hot.
