On Tuesday afternoon at a press conference in Berlin, Humana,
manufacturer of the soy-based infant formula distributed in
Israel by Remedia, admitted that the product it sent to
Israel had only a tenth of the B1 that it was claimed to
have, and accepted full responsibility. The company stressed
that this was a one-time mistake, and promised to cooperate
fully with Israeli authorities. Israel hopes to complete the prisoner swap the cabinet
narrowly passed on Sunday by the end of the week. By the
slimmest of margins Israel's Cabinet approved the prisoner-
swap deal with Hizbullah. But Israel said it would not free
any prisoners "with blood on their hands" and Hizbullah still
insists on including Samir Kuntar, who murdered three members
of one family and an Israeli policeman in 1979.

Hatzoloh of Jerusalem, in cooperation with Rabbi Benny
Fisher, director-general of Magen LeCholeh, has issued an
information sheet containing common questions and
authoritative answers by Professor David Barnesky, Director
of Pediatric Medicine at Hadassah Hospital and an expert on
gastrointestinal function and nutrition in children. Remedia Non-Dairy Formula Abroad May Also be Unsuitable Following the panic over Remedia infant formula, Hatzoloh of
Jerusalem consulted leading doctors and professors at the
Health Ministry and Hadassah Hospital, with the assistance of
medical consultant Rabbi Binyomin Fisher of Magen LeCholeh.
The information gathered has been transmitted to the
appropriate figures in the chareidi sector in Eretz Yisroel
and abroad. The Remedia company claimed that it does not
export the product at all.
Using Soy-Based Formula for No Good Reason A large percentage of parents who give their babies soy-based
formula do not base their choice on any medical or health
reasons, while pediatric nutrition and gastrointestinal
experts have unilaterally determined they are not giving
their children the best food available.
Last weekend, a prominent member of Fatah's military wing in
Shechem was killed by the IDF. His surviving friends went
around demanding that the stores in the area close down
during the funeral. One owner of a butcher store refused to
close, and he was shot dead on the spot.
Eretz Yisroel: First Year, First Impressions
These were some of my first impressions, the first year of
aliya, of living in Israel. Nine years later, they still ring
true.
