Israel recorded its highest number of vaccinations of children this week and has re-imposed a rule requiring people to wear masks indoors. Another 400,000 have received at least one dose. In Israel, 5.1 million people, among its population of 9.3 million, have received the required double dose of vaccinations. In the past two weeks, the ministry recorded only one. Though worrying, the trend still shows little uptick when it comes to deaths from the virus. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday announced a drive to inoculate thousands of children by mid-month.

It's now seen as an early-warning system of sorts for other nations. In recent months, Israel has reopened businesses, schools and event venues, lifting nearly all restrictions after it inoculated some 85 per cent of the adult population.

Instead, the characters’ abilities to work out their differences, respect each other’s points of view, and solve contention without violence, should provide positive role models for kids and parents alike.

However, the movie should not be faulted for its optimistic outlook on the adolescent struggle for independence. And violence is limited to punches exchanged during a match, and some minor name-calling, pushing and shoving. Sexual content consists of a brief kiss between two teens. Nor (thankfully) does it delve into the sorts of issues often depicted in coming-of-age tales. Just as the streets of Brooklyn, where the film is set, appear a little too freshly painted, the script may also be accused of whitewashing the potentially deep consequences of this classic dilemma. It is this tug-of-war over perusing one’s own dreams versus fulfilling those of others that forms the central conflict in this story. As well, he is afraid of disappointing his father, because since the death of his mom, boxing has been the glue holding the Daniel’s family together. Still, the young man keeps his newfound interest a secret, hoping to avoid being picked on by his friends and harassed by the likes of Rodney. Suddenly tempted to trade the ring ropes for skipping ropes, Izzy’s fascination is beginning to have a negative impact on his boxing performance. Soon the youth is completely entangled in the intricate routines and long practice hours required to prepare for an upcoming citywide competition. Looking like a cross between break dancing and gymnastics, there is something almost spellbinding about the way the skippers pull off such amazing moves while always being mindful not to step on the ropes. But what he doesn’t anticipate is just how challenging and fun the 'sissy' sport can be.

Still, when their Double Dutch foursome loses one of its teammates, he good-naturedly agrees to stand in until the girls can get a replacement-after the appropriate amount of begging and arm-twisting of course. Yet as aggressive and formidable as the taunting Rodney can be, he proves to be a lesser threat to Izzy’s victory in the ring than Mary (Keke Palmer), the beautiful girl next door.Īlways looking for a way to get her attention, Izzy usually teases his feisty neighbor and her friends about their obsession with skipping. The sole obstacle he can see in his path is Rodney Tyler (Patrick Johnson Jr.), the local bully and only other undefeated competitor in his weight class.

With his Dad (David Reivers) coaching and cheering him on, the athletic boy is favored to win The Golden Gloves Championship, just like his father and grandfather before him. This time Corbin Bleu plays Izzy Daniels, the star boxer at his family’s gym. Jump In! (which captured a large audience when it premiered on television), even borrows one of the cast members from the previously mentioned film.

The made-for-TV movie High School Musical, was a huge broadcast and DVD success, so it is little wonder The Disney Channel is coming out with more products featuring good (albeit predictable) stories full of self motivated, talented teens.
