Jerusalem, Israel - Sept. 10, 2024 - Jerusalem's real estate market is known for being competitive, with prices often out of reach for many who dream of living in the city. However, a new opportunity is emerging in Katamonim —one of Jerusalem’s oldest neighborhoods— that promises to offer spacious, high-standard apartments within a warm community, and at significantly lower prices than other American neighborhoods in the city.
The project, spearheaded by the Berger Group and marketed by brothers Meir and Chanan Sand, represents a unique approach to community living in Jerusalem. "We wanted to create a community where people can live near their friends and family, enjoy all the amenities they need, and still pay much less than other areas in the city," says M...

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant reveals a document he says was written by the former commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade, Rafa’a Salameh, and addressed to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his brother Muhammad, in which the commander describes the “difficult situation” the terror group is in.
“Please consider the following: We maintain the remaining weapons and equipment, as we have lost 90-95% of our rocket capabilities; and we have lost some 60% of our personal weapons; we have lost at least 65-70% of our anti-tank launchers and rockets, and most importantly that we have lost at least 50% of our fighters between those who are martyred and wounded, and now we are left with 25%. The last 25% of our people have reached a situation where the people do not tolera...

Agudath Israel celebrates the favorable vote earlier today of The Educational Choice for Children Act of 2024 (ECCA). Following a model already operating successfully in more than twenty states, H.R. 9462 will provide $5 billion in scholarships to cover expenses facing public and private school children. It does this by allowing a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit for taxpayers who contribute to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGO). These SGOs would then provide scholarships for a range of educational expenses, including private school tuition.
Agudath Israel played a key role in the crafting and promotion of this legislation. Working with the sponsors and coalition partners over the last several years, Agudah staff participated in hundreds of meetings and most recen...

With the passing of Rav Aharon Schechter (1929-2023) on 8/24/23, I would like to share what impact Yeshiva Chaim Berlin had on our lives, as 2 of the Ner Yisroel Roshei HaYeshiva learned there.
I was zoche to meet the Rosh HaYeshiva (R’ Schechter) 3 times (and twice even asked him for a bracha.) When I saw him in 2018, I remember the zerizus he went into davening albeit using a walker. I was also zoche to meet the current Rosh HaYeshiva, Shlomo Halioua, (1959-), pronounced: Haliwa in 2006 and mentioned that it was so nice that such a prestigious and large Yeshiva embraces a practicing sefardi in a mechanech position and Baruch Hashem Ner Yisroel does as well.
The Rosh HaYeshiva of Ner Yisroel, R’ Yaakov Weinberg (1923-1999) learned in Chaim Berlin in the 40s, under R’ Y...

Baltimore City, MD — Sept. 11, 2024 - While the pandemic itself feels far behind us, a federal COVID funding deadline is now right around the corner. Leaving Baltimore City with millions left to spend in a short amount of time.
In 2021, Baltimore City was handed $641 million from the American Rescue Plan (ARPA). But the one-time gift from the federal government came with two deadlines. All of the money must be obligated by the end of 2024 and spent by the end of 2026. Whatever remains after those deadlines pass will be returned to the U.S. Department of Treasury.
At first glance, the city’s ARPA dashboard shows 100% of the funds have already been “committed.” However, in order to officially be “obligated”, the money must be formally ass...

A recall on apple juice due to potentially harmful levels of arsenic has expanded to include products at several retailers nationwide.
On Monday, Florida-based Refresco Beverages Inc. issued a voluntary recall of 133,500 cases of apple juice after the products were found to contain inorganic arsenic slightly above U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended levels.

The newest recall lists various brands including Market Basket, Nice!, Wellsley Farms, Urban Meadow, Nature's Nectar, Weis and Clover Valley apple juice.

September 11, 2024
Dear Friends,
Today, September 11th, we remember the tragedy that befell this nation 23 years ago. We witnessed barbaric hatred that claimed over 3,000 innocent lives. Yet in the midst of our national pain and suffering, we experienced incredible national achdus (unity).
We saw the images of brave police officers and firemen running into the burning towers to save the lives of others. We remember the bravery of the passengers on Flight 93 who fought with terrorists and prevented an even greater loss of life. We were united in our grief for the lives shattered and united in our resolve to never surrender to terror. We pledged as a nation to continue to be the bearers of light in the face of those who wou...
