The shivah is over for Baltimore’s esteemed First Lady of Chesed, Mrs. Hannah Storch, a”h, and her passing symbolizes the end of a generation of Baltimore greats, those who laid the foundations of the community we enjoy today. But more than a symbol, Mrs. Storch was a warm, kind, and generous individual, the quintessential eishes chayil, who fulfilled the ideals of the Torah and led by example. Hannah’s impeccable character spoke volumes to all who knew her and even to those who only heard of her. I, personally, have known her “forever” as the Storches and my parents were devoted friends. I am honored to have this opportunity to recount her praises.
Hannah was inculcated with the important values of Yiddishkeit and chesed by her parents. Her father, Rabbi Abr...

The Federal Reserve on Thursday announced its second consecutive interest rate cut, lowering the benchmark rate by 25 basis points amid economic data showing signs that inflation and the labor market are cooling.
With the 25-basis-point cut, the benchmark federal funds rate will sit at a range of 4.5% to 4.75%. The Fed's move follows a larger-than-normal cut of 50 basis points at its September meeting, which was the first rate cut since March 2020 and brought rates down from a range of 5.25% to 5.5% – the highest level since 2001.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed's policymaking arm, noted that "labor market conditions have generally eased, and the unemployment rate has moved up but remains low. Inflation has made progress toward the Committee&...
Baltimore, MD - Nov. 7, 2024 - Maryland officials are dismissing pushback from a state transportation group and substantial budget concerns in announcing a new million-dollar initiative to purchase electric school busses.
The Maryland Department of the Environment last week announced it was accepting applications for $3 million in state grants to replace old diesel school busses with electric ones. It came on the heels of a public comment period for another program offering to award an additional $17 million to purchase these vehicles.
Department of the Environment Secretary Serena McIlwain cheered the initiative as a decisive move toward reducing hazardous emissions.
“Transportation accounts for more than 40 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, so it is critical to supp...
Washington, D.C. - Nov. 7, 2024 - 7News has learned new details on what Maryland U.S. Senator-Elect Angela Alsbrooks owes on unpaid property taxes in the district.
She has not received an extension to pay off her unpaid property tax in Washington, D.C. and she is not currently on a payment plan.
She originally owed more than $47,000 after receiving a deal from the District that removed a 10% penalty and 25% of the bill's interest that grew over a decade.
It got so big because she didn't pay her fair share of property tax over 13 years. She said she never knew about the two tax discounts she had on the house that she didn't qualify for when she was deeded the home by her mother in 2003.
Her new deadline is Nov. 30. The D.C. Tax Office confirms she can make pay...

The Israeli-Palestinian peace plan advanced by President-elect Donald Trump during his first term will likely be back on the table when he returns to office, according to a former senior aide who reportedly has been tapped to help lead the transition team.
The Trump peace plan envisioned Israel being able to annex all of its settlements in the West Bank while granting the Palestinians a pathway to a semi-contiguous state on the remaining territory. The plan was swiftly rejected by the Palestinian Authority, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the plan with reservations. His settler allies, who are now part of his coalition, rejected the proposal due to its inclusion of a potential Palestinian state.
In an interview with CNN, Brian Hook, who served as Trump’s special en...
I have always been amazed by how what I was learning on a particular week had direct relevance to what was going on in my life or the world at the same time. As one example, eight years ago when my first grandson was born. It just happened that three weeks later in the Parsha Hashavua was the mitzvah of Pidyan Haben, exactly while we were planning that event for our new grandson. Or how Shaluach Hakan appeared just as we went camping and happened upon a bird on its eggs. People that learn Daf Yomi find this happening with startling regularity. So this week I learned a Pasuk which I have certainly learned no less than 50 times. Avram and Lot are conducting themselves in different ways. Avram was careful to muzzle his cattle as they crossed others land whe...

Baltimore, MD - Nov. 7, 2024 - Beltway lane closures and a new traffic pattern start Thursday in Sparrows Point.
The main travel lanes of the Interstate 695 outer loop will be closed at Peninsula Expressway (Exit 43), so traffic will have to exit onto Bethlehem Boulevard and return to the outer loop from the Bethlehem Boulevard on-ramp to bypass the closure, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.
Exit 43 will reopen later in the fall. The inner loop is reduced to one lane through the Sparrows Point work zone.
Access to the outer loop from Broening Highway will remain open via an existing turnaround setup.
