The upside down siddur

IsraelNationalNews writes about "two PA Arab women disguised as observant Jews caught attempting to bypass security checks."

In this instance, an officer of the Gal Battalion waved the #143 public bus over to the side of the road for a routine security check before allowing it through the Hizme checkpoint in Samaria.
While heading towards the back of the bus, he notice two women wearing the hair covering that is common to observant Jewish women. At least one was holding a siddur, a Jewish prayer book.
But something was odd: both were acting strangely, looked more tense than usual, and the one holding her prayer book was gripping it upside down.

Yes, I agree that holding a siddur upside down would be deemed to be suspicious activity.

A note of caution for those making barbecues during the summer months.

GVA writes about the death of a nine- year- old child who died after becoming infected with E. Coli bacteria from poorly cooked meat at a barbecue in her home.

Below is a video which explains what we should be thinking about on Tisha B'Av.
