The Book of Shemos spans the most remarkable era in our history — from slavery to the exodus to the revelation at Sinai and the construction of an abode for the Divine Presence — concludes with the משכן — the Tabernacle finally emplaced. The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Presence of G-d filled the Tabernacle. Moshe could not enter the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud had settled upon it and the Presence of G-d filled the Tabernacle. (40 34,35) This depiction of Moshe, the greatest leader of all time, seemingly shunned from entering the Mishkan, casts a disappointing shadow upon the fulfillment of his greatest dream. There is also an apparent redundancy in these two verses and it's describing the 'Presence of G-d that filled the Tabernacle&#...

Sefer Shemos concludes with the much anticipated completion of the Mishkan.  Several Parshiyos were devoted to the details of its construction, how to craft the Kaylim and the order to its consecration.  Yet, as we near the culmination of all these efforts, this weeks Parsha opens with Moshe gathering all of B’nei Yisroel together and warning them not to violate Shabbos, even for the purpose of building the Mishkan.[1]  After issuing this reminder, the remainder of Vayakhel and Pikudei are once again devoted to the building of the Mishkan.  Why is it necessary to remind B’nei Yisroel of the sanctity of Shabbos at this time?  We are not reminded of the prohibition of idol worship or any of the other “cardinal” sins here?  Moreover, why i...
Baltimore, MD - Mar. 12, 2026 - As concerns regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement are rising across the political spectrum, Mayor Brandon Scott discussed the topic on the “C4 and Bryan Nehman” show. “For people that have just been living here and working here peacefully for all these years, paying taxes, sending their kids to school, helping with jobs that other folks don’t want to do, why would we be removing these folks?” Scott said. When asked if he is expecting some type of ICE surge coming to the city, Scott said, “We’re going to be prepared in Baltimore to do whatever we can to not have some of the stuff that we’ve seen around the country.” Scott also made sure to address crime concerns and the crime redu...
Senate Republicans are accusing Senate Democrats of trying to rip apart the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) piece by piece after again blocking a bid to reopen the agency. Little has changed in the stalemate over the last 27 days of the partial shutdown, and communication breakdowns are dominating what could be opportunities for negotiations. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus are still demanding stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Senate Republicans are dug in against their top demands. Throughout the day, Senate Democrats tried to offer individual bills to fund pieces and parts of DHS. A fired-up Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., accused Senate Democrats of trying to rip the agency apart at a mom...
Washngton, D.C. - Mar. 12, 2026 - Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said that Israel should kill Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. “Well, they should kill him, too - hopefully he is significantly wounded,” Fetterman said Wednesday. “And if he does recover, you know, I do absolutely support having Israel to just eliminate him, you know, along with any other parts of the leadership.” Last month, Israel and the U.S. conducted a joint strike on Iran due to concerns about the Middle Eastern country having missiles. As a result of the strikes, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed and his son, Mojtaba Khamenei replaced him Fetterman also said the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas need to be killed too. “I ...
Baltimore, MD - Mar. 12, 2026 - I was recently walking by an area that was under construction and I noticed a yellow and black caution sign nearby the work zone, which read as follows: Please excuse our appearance while we’re under construction.I immediately took a picture of the sign, so I wouldn’t forget about it, knowing with full certainty that I was going to passionately write about this terribly ugly signage. Now, the sign itself wasn’t ugly per se, rather, the message it portrayed is what was ugly and should be frowned up.To say it bluntly, I couldn’t disagree more with the verbiage of this sign. When something is under construction, that is not a reason to feel the need to announce to the public an apology to “please excuse our appearance.” When ...

Baltimore, MD - Mar. 12, 2026 - At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen will hold a committee hearing to investigate the surge in BGE gas bills. The hearing will examine factors contributing to skyrocketing BGE gas bills, as well as BGE’s gas safety oversight and pipeline inspection procedures. This hearing follows heightened concerns about both affordability and safety failures. The news release states: “In December, the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) found that BGE incurred ‘substantial overruns of its approved budgets’ and said that the company’s request in its 2023 reconciliation filing for more than $150 million in total rate increases, including more than $70 million for gas service — on top of tens of m...
