For three millennia the land of Israel has been at the heart of the Jewish people; the Homeland from where the ancient traditions, culture and values emanated. The state of Israel has served as a refuge for Jews the world over, a country rebuilt following the horrors of the Holocaust on the principles of freedom and democracy.

Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke’s Letter to the Community

For three millennia the land of Israel has been at the heart of the Jewish people; the Homeland from where the ancient traditions, culture and values emanated. The state of Israel has served as a refuge for Jews the world over, a country rebuilt following the horrors of the Holocaust on the principles of freedom and democracy.

Op-Ed: Why Ban a Fundraiser Auction?

This past Motzaei Shabbos, Keren Simchas Chasson V’kallah held a Melave Malka and Chinese auction. Oholei Torah chose to ban the event for students of the Zal at threat of expulsion. Certainly, no student should ever disregard the orders of the Hanholo, with or without threats of expulsion. Further, when the Hanholo permits a Bochur to attend, it is self understood that he can only attend after Seder HaYeshivah. I am quite surprised at the Hanholo’s decision however, because the evening had a lot to offer.

NEW YORK [WABC] — A combination of two weather systems will roll into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States later today and tonight.

The feature which is the stronger of the two, a low pressure system, is destined to slide along the Southeast Coast and exit the East Coast late tonight via the Carolinas.

The family of Rabbi Zalman Liberow, who was badly injured in the tragic accident that killed his son Avrohom Dovid and Pesha Leah Azoulai, were somewhat disappointed to hear of a setback in his condition.

While eagerly awaiting his return to NY, his recovery seems to have taken a slight step backwards. While doctors are working hard to improve his condition, the hope for a return to NY this week seems to have faded away.
