Ya'acov misses something crucial . . .

by

In Jerusalem, 38-year-old Ya’acov Oksankrug was arrested for “allegedly stealing thousands of prayer books and paperbacks Bibles and then selling them at rock-bottom prices,” according to a Jerusalem Post report by Etgar Lefkvits. “Oksankrug is suspected of making off with piles of Holy Books dropped off at the store-fronts of Jerusalem Judaica bookstores in early-morning deliveries, and then reselling the NIS 100 books for as little as NIS 12 each to synagogues and yeshivot across the country.”
