| | | | | The Three Musketeers at the Kotel | | | | | | The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. | | | | | | | Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto. | | | | Farewell to Temu and Shein – Amazon giant launches Bazaar, its new app with Chinese products from $2 and free shipping https://unionrayo.com/en/amazo... by Laura M. Amazon Bazaar Bazaar is the evolution of Amazon Haul, the cheap shopping section the company launched in the United States in 2024. But now Amazon wants to explore the market with a standalone app, faster and focused on the visual experience. There's everything, you can't complain about it. There are cosmetics, clothing, accessories, home goods, technology… And the prices are crazy, just how we like them. Starting at $2 you can find your perfect treat, and most products cost less than $10. They want you to buy compulsively because "it's cheap" and you add it to your cart, just like you do with Shein and its $2 carts that end up being $237 purchases. But here it's qualitatively better, the guarantee comes from Amazon. Competition for China The style is the same as Temu or Aliexpress back in the day: offers that appear and disappear, the more you buy, the cheaper, catalogs that update daily… but Amazon promises deliveries in less than two weeks and free returns within the first 15 days. And you don't need to register again because you can use your same Amazon account, saved cards, and usual shipping addresses. While Temu and Shein reign for their prices, Amazon has what they still don't: a solid reputation and a working infrastructure, so it could hurt them a lot. How the app works Unlike Haul, which was a section inside Amazon, Bazaar is completely independent from the parent company. The app is divided into three main categories: fashion, home, and lifestyle. It also includes raffles and interactive promotions, but without the minigames like Shein's dog one where you never reach the top prize. It's cleaner and perhaps more straightforward. For now, it is available in 14 countries: Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. In other places like Mexico or Spain, the catalog can be found within the main app by searching for "Bazaar" or "Haul". Amazon enters the low-cost market Shein should be worried, because with Bazaar, Amazon is diving straight into a market that moves billions every day, the fast and affordable consumption market (and that of online shopping ashopping addicts). Until now, that territory was dominated by Chinese giants, but Amazon wants to change the rules forever. Also, as mentioned before, Amazon has something the rest don't: consumer trust and an incredible international distribution network. What about taxes? That's the question we've all asked. Although shipping is free, Amazon clarifies that in some countries taxes or import duties may apply. In Mexico, for example, products coming from China can have tariffs of up to 30%, which raises the final price a bit. So you'll need to check the tariffs in your country to know if buying from this store is worth it. And wait… doesn't it seem curious that Bazaar arrives just as countries like the US are adjusting import policies with China? We'll pretend it's a coincidence. Amazon wants to dominate the world And it's not far from doing it. Now it's also joining the low-cost market where, as you already know, Chinese companies used to dominate everything, though adding its own efficient, reliable, and global touch. Maybe many people think there are already too many compulsive shopping apps, but we love that there's one more! If it delivers what it promises, Bazaar could become the world's next favorite shopping app, but it faces a big competitor, because, well, Shein has the crown… | | | | Diabetes: The first signs your eyes might be warning you about diabetes Diabetes can affect your vision and can cause irreversible damage Often, your eyes can reveal more about your overall health than you expect, and sometimes even before other physical symptoms occur.
