(Jerusalem Post) Acting mayor Uri Lupolianski, 52, of the Torah Judaism list was elected mayor of Jerusalem Tuesday. He took over from mayor Ehud Olmert several months ago, when Olmert decided to run for the Knesset and was later named to the cabinet. A father of 12, Lupolianski is a 15-year veteran of the city council who served as Olmert's senior deputy over the past decade. Lupolianski is best known for founding the charitable Yad Sarah organization, which for the past quarter-century has provided free medical equipment and services to needy Israelis.
