Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

Today is Day 105 of the war. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon and diaspora and Jewish world reporter Canaan Lidor join host Jessica Steinberg.

Sharon discusses the first anti-war demonstration being allowed in Haifa, the largest city in the northern region, following High Court pressure on the police who have resisted requests until now in Haifa.

Lidor looks at another High Court decision that would allow women to serve on the chief rabbinate's top council, something that presumably won't happen in the near term but represents the tension between the secular High Court and religious court.

Sharon disseminates an effort by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi to remove the current Postal Authority chairman without High Court interference.

Lidor talks about a trance rave held in Modi'in forest last Saturday, three months after the Supernova desert rave was attacked by Hamas terrorists who killed 364 people and took dozens more hostage.

For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.
