Baltimore, MD - May 25, 2026 - There are questions over outside players potentially having a hand in the race for Baltimore County State's Attorney.
Sarah David is listed as being publicly backed by the Working Families Party, a political group with financial ties to George Soros.
"So, that's an independent expenditure group, so they can't coordinate with our campaign at all," David said.
David is denying any direct affiliation with the progressive billionaire who has spent millions reshaping the nation's justice system.
According to campaign filings, in just the last month alone, the Working Families Party spent half a million dollars on David’s behalf. Records show roughly $260,000 went toward television advertising, while another $240,000 was spent on mai...
Baltimore, MD - May 24, 2026 - (BJL) What a beautiful day in Baltimore! Today, May 24th, Mesivta Toras Chaim was zoche to celebrate the Hachnasas Sefer Torah of the Taffel family — and what a Simcha it was! 🕺🏻 The celebration began at Bnei Jacob Shaarei Zion with the completion of the Torah alongside Rabbi Ron, the sofer, who flew in personally from Eretz Yisrael to bring this holy Torah to its new home. The Torah was then danced through the streets by a beautiful crowd of community members, rabbanim, and the talmidim and alumni of Mesivta Toras Chaim — all the way to its new home on Clarks Lane. A true Kiddush Hashem! ✡️ The day culminated in a magnificent seudah at Bnai Jacob, where Mr. Jay Taffel shared the deeply moving story behind this Torah — sponsor...

The core framework of a potential peace agreement between Washington and Tehran hinges on a major concession regarding the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities.
According to two US officials quoted by the New York Times on Saturday night, the emerging deal requires Iran to completely forfeit its dangerous stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which Iran has committed to.
While White House officials declined to comment on the specifics, President Donald Trump confirmed earlier that the United States is rapidly approaching an agreement aimed at concluding the war and restoring shipping access to the vital Strait of Hormuz corridor.
Despite the President's optimistic remarks, details on the ground remain fluid, and substantial diplomatic hurdles persist bef...
Baltimore, MD - June 10, 2022 - The Baltimore community suffered an immeasurable loss. A beloved Rebbe, pashut Rav, and the embodiment of an Ohev Yisroel in human form, returned to the Yeshiva Shel Maaleh on Tes Sivan, TSh”PB .
Rabbi Peretz Dinovitz, zt”l, master mechanech and what I call a Rebbe’s Rebbe will be sorely missed by scores of people. Having taught 3d grade for 30 years, and quite proud of his “job,” Rabbi Dinovitz saw the beauty in each and every talmid. Listening at the Levaya today to all the stories from some of those talmidim, now adults spread throughout the world and spanning the Jewish spectrum, was testimony to his love and influence and that of Mekarvan Shel Torah. His act...
We arrived at Mount Sinai on Rosh Chodesh Sivan and waited to receive the Torah the subsequent Shabbos.
The students of the saintly Rebbe, Reb Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, once inquired of him as to what the Jews, not having yet received the Torah, preoccupied themselves during that whole week?
He responded that they delved into the prayer of Ahava Rabbah!
It is reported that the disciples of the Chasam Sofer recited this prayer with such fervor and intent on Shavuos morning that it lasted for three hours into the morning.
This tefillah expresses the unconditional love G-d has for his nation.
With unbounded love You have loved us G-d, our Lord; [With] great and abundant pity have You pitied us… have compassion on us and put into our hearts to comprehend, and to be intellectually...
Baltimore, MD - May 21, 2026 - At this point, you should know the drill. Yom Tov comes around and while most people are cooking and or shopping, I am writing. To paraphrase an expression, writing is food for the soul, or at least mine. It is Spring, and with that comes along the rains, the flowers, and lots of birds flying around and building nests. My backyard is privy to the signs of Nature and the changing of the seasons and am grateful for that. Besides enhancing my Menuchas HaNefesh, it also gives me great writing material. One fine day, about a month ago or so, my husband noticed the beginnings of a nest. There were lots of interesting stringy-type material, including the remnants of a plastic bag and many other things I do not wish to know the source of, strewn across our pati...
