Baltimore, MD – Oct. 7, 2024 – 3:10 PM - Please be aware that the traffic light is out of order at the intersection of Park Heights & Greenspring Valley. Bais Yaakov carpoolers are advised to consider alternate routes (e.g., Greenspring Ave to Caves Rd).

President Herzog: A day that should live in infamy. The world must support Israel against its enemies for a better future for the region"
President Isaac Herzog began a memorial journey throughout the Gaza border communities this morning, Monday, in Re'im, at the site where the 'Nova' Festival took place a year ago.
Upon arriving at the site at 06:29, the President observed a moment of silence in memory of the men and women murdered by terrorists during the festival massacre. Afterward, he laid a wreath and lit memorial candles in honor of the victims, accompanied by their bereaved families.

The Biden administration has offered Israel a “compensation package” if it refrains from striking certain targets in Iran as part of its retaliation for Tehran’s Oct. 1 attack, Israel’s Kan News public broadcaster reported on Sunday.
U.S. officials offered their Israeli counterparts “extensive diplomatic backing and additional military aid” if certain targets inside Iranian territory were spared, according to the report.
An Israeli official told Kan, “We consider the United States to be our ally and are always ready to listen. At the same time, we will do all that’s necessary to protect the citizens of Israel and the security of Israel.”
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is scheduled to travel to the United States ...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reeling exactly a year ago from the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust: A staggering 3,800 trained Hamas terrorists from an overall number of 6,000 Palestinians invaded southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The Iranian-backed Hamas and its supporters unleashed a scale of unprecedented barbarism, including beheadings and burning bodies, within the territory of the Jewish state, resulting in the mass murder of nearly 1,200 people, including over 30 Americans.
The U.S. designated terrorist movement Hamas also kidnapped more than 250 people on that fateful day that jolted Israel like none of the numerous wars against Iran-backed proxies that the tiny Jewish state has fought within this century. As of Monday, 101 hostages still remain in H...
Political commentator and Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross warned that Vice President Harris is facing warning signs among Arab and Muslim communities, especially in key battleground states like Michigan.
"It‘s very tenuous at this point," Cross said of Harris' support among the Arab community on CNN Friday. "I think that what we saw over the summer and prior to that with the campus uprisings across the country, we heard from young people who are very concerned, but also saw that certain college presidents lost their jobs and we‘ve seen the community over and over again, specifically the uncommitted vote, call out where President Biden as well as Vice President Harris are on this issue."
Some Harris allies have also signaled concern at Harris' support...
President Isaac Herzog spoke this evening, with US President Joe Biden, who called to offer his condolences to the citizens of Israel on the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre.
The US President began by saying that his thoughts were always with the families of the hostages, the murdered, and the injured from the Hamas attack on that dark day.
He also praised President Herzog for visiting various communities in the western Negev to personally comfort the residents, and asked him to extend his own words of comfort as well.
President Biden further noted that the atrocities committed by Hamas served as a reminder of the significant threat posed by Iran and its proxies in the region. He emphasized his deep love for Israel and his own support for Zionism.
President Herzog than...
Jerusalem, Israel - Oct. 7, 2024 - This past Shabbat, I heard a beautiful thought from my rabbi. We know that before Mashiach comes, we will experience what we call “Chevley Mashiach”, loosely translated as the birthing pains of Mashiach. In other words, before the ultimate light arrives, we will experience great pain and darkness. However, the word “Chevley” also means “Ropes”. Rabbi Rosner explained that before Mashiach, Hashem will lower a rope down to us. It is our job to hold onto that rope for dear life. The rope will swing side to side and it will be very difficult for us to continue holding on. The rope will be volatile and even violent and aggressive, but we must continue holding until the rope stabilizes and Mashiach arrives. T...
A surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen caused Red Alert sirens to be activated throughout central Israel on Monday evening.
Sirens were activated in Lod, Ramle, Petah Tikva, Ben Gurion Airport, Rishon Letzion, and many other localities as a result of the missile attack.
The missile was intercepted by Israel's air defense systems. There are currently no reports of injuries.
Echoes of explosions were heard in Jerusalem as well as much of central Israel.
The attack comes on the first anniversary of the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were murdered and 250 taken captive to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Monday, 7 October 2024), at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem, met with a bipartisan delegation of US Senators led by Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
"I deeply appreciate the visit by Senators Graham and Blumenthal on this day of commemoration, October 7th. It was the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, but unlike the Holocaust, we fight back. We’re fighting like lions with the support of the American government and the American people, and its representatives here. I want to thank you both for your stellar support for Israel throughout the war."
US Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT):
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. We’re honored to be with you and we appreciate your giving us this oppo...
