Jerusalem, Israel - Oct. 27, 2024 - Hundreds of people, including 190 survivors from the Nova Festival and ten hostage families danced again with the Torah in Jerusalem, Israel at the Ramada Hotel for hakafos shniyos.
The event was created at the specific request of the Nova survivors, who have attended Shabbatonim run by Kesher Yehudi in the past. They asked the organization to change plans, saying this is where they needed to be as they commemorate one year on the Hebrew calendar since Hamas’ horrific terror attack on Israel.

This piece is dedicated in memory of Captain Rabbi Avi Goldberg HY”D, a true anav and tzaddik who fell in Lebanon earlier this week.
Completely Committed
Our mitzvah fulfillment is the most basic way we express our avodat Hashem. Our fulfillment ought to be both complete and deeply meaningful.
Breadth
Our commitment to mitzvot should be comprehensive — we should endeavor to observe all of His commandments.[1] Carelessness, even regarding one mitzvah, reflects a lack of commitment to Hashem’s Will.
Denial of the need to observe a mitzvah is even more problematic. In fact, it renders one a “mumar.” Though the term generally refers to the total abandonment of Judaism, Chazal[2] applied it to one who refuses to fulfill even one mitzvah because he, too, reje...

Two Iranian officials told The New York Times that among Iran's S-300 air defense system, located at the Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran and intended to protect Tehran, was among the approximately 20 sites struck in Israel's retaliatory attack Friday night.
One of the officials is a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps.
According to the sources, at least three Revolutionary Guards bases were struck in Tehran, and the "secret" military base in Parchin was struck by one drone; two others were shot down.
An Israeli official confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that the S-300s were targeted, adding, "The message is that we don’t want an escalation, but if Iran decides to escalate and attack Israel again," the removal of...
Israeli officials aren’t speaking much about the airstrikes in Iran on early Saturday morning, but that shouldn’t detract from the significance of the operation.
It seems to have gone off exactly as planned, with no losses on the Israeli side. That in and of itself is a major accomplishment.
The risks inherent in operations 1,600 kilometers from Israeli airspace are daunting. A minor complication can turn into a life-and-death challenge.
The strikes were planned with the assumption that the fighter jets would be able to refuel near Iran. But if a small component in the refuel system malfunctions, or a plane’s engine fails, a pilot would face a dangerous landing in likely enemy territory. Almost all the support and emergency capabilities the Israeli Air Force ...
Baltimore, MD - Oct. 26, 2024 - The owner and manager of the cargo ship that caused the Baltimore bridge collapse have agreed to pay more than $100 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department, officials said Thursday.

The settlement does not include any damages for rebuilding the bridge, officials said in a news release announcing the agreement. The construction project could cost close to $2 billion. The state of Maryland filed its own claim see...
