Rabbi Kaduri Said Jesus is the Messiah ...

At least that's what an article in Israel Today would like to imply. Supposedly Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri famed kabbalist master, wrote a note that was not to be revealed until a year after his death. The note is to contain the name of Moshiach which when looking at the initials spells at Yehoshua. The Christian's would like to say it spells Yeshua only problem with that is one of the words has a "hay". Clearly that's not the name if he had any in mind.

Ultra Orthodox and Cosmetics...

Israel Today has an interesting article about cosmetics and the Ultra-Orthodox. It discusses the famous phrase from Aishes Chayil:"sheker hachain v'hevel hayofee" (charm is false and beauty is vain). However the article points out this does not stop the wives from sneaking through the backdoor of places like Yeelat Chen Cosmetics for a makeover. This establishment received a blessing by the late Rabbi Ben Tzion Abba Shaul, then head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva. The author explains how in Jewish law it's important for a woman to look good for her husband. Interestingly they have different forms of cosmetics one for every day use and another for the husband only.
