Baltimore, MD - Mar. 11, 2026 - Maryland State Police are alerting residents about a phone scam that impersonates law enforcement officers in an effort to steal personal information.
Officials received reports from residents about scammers who falsely identified themselves as police officers or troopers in order to obtain financial information or money.
These impersonators are telling victims they need to obtain the information due to a police investigation or are asking them to donate to support law enforcement and their families.
There have also been instances in which impersonators use the real name of an officer to gain trust, officials said.
Authorities emphasized that Maryland State Police do not call or text individuals or request money from anyone under any circumst...
Baltimore, MD - Mar. 11, 2026 - Rabbi Hallel Newman brought his replica of the mishkan to Yeshivas Toras Simcha today. The structure took a year to construct, and Rabbi Newman has visited several schools to display the model and discuss the various functionalities.
Great effort was put into making the model resemble the actual mishkan, which we read about in the weekly parshios these weeks. Rabbi Newman showed the model to children in all the grades and allowed more time for the older grades to ask questions. The demonstration was also particularly appropriate for the eighth-grade students who are learning meseches Tamid.
Jerusalem, Israel - Mar. 11, 2026 - Travel out of Israel remains significantly disrupted, and observers are anticipating an even greater surge of passengers seeking to depart as yeshiva and seminary semesters draw to a close.
The limited number of flights operating out of Ben-Gurion Airport – constrained both by reduced airline schedules and government-imposed passenger caps – have not been sufficient to meet current demand. With large numbers of students expected to seek departure in the coming days, those limitations are projected to become even more acute.

Jerusalem, Israel - Mar. 10, 2026 - At the Jerusalem Theater, a new exhibition scheduled to open to the public on Sunday, March 1, 2026, remains unseen after the venue closed when war broke out the day before, on Shabbat, Parshat Zachor.
“Yakir’s Light,” featuring photographs by Chaya Hexter and drawings by her son, Yakir Hexter z”l, curated by Yair Medina, offers an emotional experience.
Thanks to the security guard stationed at the entrance, BJL was briefly allowed inside to view the exhibit, described as a “photographic diary” documenting Chaya’s first year of mourning for her son. It serves as a visual record of a world changed, a quiet testimony of love, loss, and endurance.
Yakir Hexter z”l had completed two years o...
