Baltimore, MD - Aug. 24, 2024 - (WMAR2News) As schools across Maryland resume for the new academic year, traffic is expected to increase, and so are concerns for student safety. Last year, there were thousands of violations reported where drivers illegally passed school buses with red flashing lights, putting students at risk. In Carroll County alone, 5,084 citations were issued, while Howard County reported nearly double that number with 9,554 violations. Maryland state law requires drivers to stop at least 20 feet away from a stopped school bus with flashing red lights, with divided highways being the only exception. Authorities urge drivers to be vigilant and comply with these regulations to ensure the safety of students.

Do you consider yourself a Shomer Torah and Mitzvos?
What does that even mean?
Does it describe one who carries out the directives as outlined in halacha?
Wouldn't it then be more accurate to define that individual as one who 'studies' Torah and 'performs' the mitzvos?
A Shomer literally means a guardian, one who protects not necessarily one who acts.
Why then to we use this so commonly in referring to a practicing Jew?
השמר לך — Take care, פן תשכח — lest you forget Hashem, your G-d… (דברים ח יא)
This according to some opinions is one of the six hundred and thirteen commandments of the Torah.
How does one technically fulfill this command?
The verse adds to this charge 'to take care lest you forget G-d': לב...
Three weeks ago, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe angrily pushed back on senators’ calls to immediately fire or discipline key agents directly responsible for the security failures that led to the assassination attempt against former President Trump at last month’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa.
Since that time, Secret Service leaders have placed several members of the Pittsburgh Field Office on administrative leave, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
(Administrative leave occurs when a federal employee temporarily leaves their position and work duties – either because of a misconduct investigation or medical or mental health issue. These employees usually still receive pay and benefits, but those decisions are left to the discretion of...
