Ex-Japan PM Aso and South Korea’s Yoon pledge to work toward improved bilateral ties
Expectations rose Nov. 2 for a breakthrough on a long-standing dispute over wartime labor compensation between Japan and South Korea as Taro Aso – a former prime minister and a veteran lawmaker of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party – met with President Yoon Suk-yeol for talks in Seoul.
Aso, a close ally of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, had been expected to discuss possible plans for a foundation funded by contributions from South Korean companies to pay compensation for wartime labor to plaintiffs on behalf of Japanese corporate defendants.
After their meeting, South Korea’s presidential office said that Yoon had asked Aso to help promote the development of bilateral relations by working to increase people-to-people exchanges.
Aso pledged to continue to work for the swift restoration and development of relations between the two countries, while noting the need for continued dialogue and cooperation, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing deputy presidential spokesperson Lee Jae-myoung. (The Japan Times)

***** Purification After Childbirth *****
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
(“Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.)
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
(turtledove 1 【鳥類】 コキジバト (Streptopelia turtur).
2 《米方言》 【鳥類】 ナゲキバト (mourning dove).
3 恋人 (sweetheart).
7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
