Britain’s Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, has arrived in Israel today for a four-day visit the first member of the British royal family to visit in over a decade. Included in his schedule is a visit to Yad Vashem on Friday. He will tour the Holocaust History Museum, visit the tree planted in honor of his grandmother Princess Alice, place a wreath in the Hall of Remembrance and visit the Children’s Memorial.
Princess Alice was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in 1993, for rescuing the Cohen family in Greece during the Holocaust.
He is also scheduled to eat the Friday night Shabbos Seudah in Yerushalayim by the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger.

The Chief Rabbi better hide his bar, this guy can really make a l’chaim!
As far as I know, Town Crier, it derives from the Yiddish “bei”, and is actually unrelated to the English word “by”.
It seems that yeshivaworld is shrugging at the responsibility to be a respectable news venue by using headlines like this.
JOE,
Whats wrong with the headline, and how would YOU change it?
To “The Town Crier”:
On behalf of YW, I thank you for your important correction. The new headline is, “Prince Edward to Eat Shabbos Seudah at Rabbi Metzger.”
(Now you can find something else to cry about.)
