US chip giant Nvidia introduced its next-generation computing platform, made of six new chips that were partly developed in Israel. Nvidia’s R&D activities in Israel are the firm’s largest outside of the United States. “The amount of computation necessary for AI is skyrocketing… Rubin arrives at exactly the right moment, as AI computing demand for both training and inference is going through the roof,” said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang. “With our annual cadence of delivering a new...

Although Israel has a relatively high incidence of melanoma compared to many countries—partly due to frequent sun exposure (intentional when getting a sunburn) or unintentional, and the prevalence of unprotected fair skin among many residents—the mortality rates are relatively low thanks to early detection and good treatment outcomes. According to the Health Ministry, there are between 1,700 and 2,000 new diagnoses of this type of skin cancer in Israel every year. Worldwide, there are about...

In the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, Assyria was the superpower in the Near East, ruling an empire that stretched from Egypt in the southwest to parts of modern-day Turkey in the north and all the way eastward to parts of modern-day Iran.

For decades, Dead Sea Scrolls scholars have sought to uncover the secrets of the 7.34-meter-long (24-foot) artifact, one of the original seven scrolls discovered in Qumran in 1947. Taking the scholarship a step further, Dead Sea Scrolls expert Prof. Marcello Fidanzio of the Università della Svizzera Italiana says his research shows that the incongruities between the two sections stem from the fact that they were created as two separate scrolls and became one at a later point in time. Since...

“ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him ” (Hosea 14:4). The prophet Hosea does not mince words. Unashamedly, he reveals Israel’s horrible sins. One trembles when reading words like, “cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel” (Hosea 1:4b); “I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel” (v. 6); and in verse 8, “I will not be your God.” Verse 10 adds, “Ye are not my people.” Before we proceed, we must realize that the...
