For ten+ long years, Rabbi Dovid Frid has been trapped in his own body, completely bedridden, unable to move, unable to speak—only his eyes remain his voice.
Yet, through the unimaginable pain, the isolation, the relentless challenges, he has never given up.
He watches his children grow, unable to hold them. He listens to their voices, unable to answer back. He sees his devoted wife, Rochel, carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders—managing the home, the endless medical needs, the unbearable financial burden.
Still, he holds on.
Because even i...
Baltimore, MD – Mar. 2025 - Every Shabbos table offers every Jewish family an incredible opportunity by which they can share their joy for Shabbos, for Yiddishkeit and for HaShem with their children. Unfortunately, our schedules are hectic and many people don’t have the time to prepare themselves to utilize the Shabbos table to its fullest. Therefore, we at ACHIM created TableTalk as a pre-packaged talking points pamphlet which is attractive, fun and has something for everyone. Limited copies are distributed to many shuls on a weekly basis but they are snatched up very quickly.

IDF forces on Tuesday identified a four-year-old Gazan boy nearing an Israeli military post in the Gaza security zone.
Following a quick investigation into the matter and discussions with security sources, the forces took care to return the child safely to Gaza, in coordination with the COGAT unit and the coordinator for the international community.
While speaking to the soldiers, the child said that Hamas members had sent him to the post. The IDF noted that the fact that the Hamas terrorists used such a young child for their own purposes is yet another example of their methods which set no boundaries and use the Gazan civilian population - and especially children - to advance terror activities.
The IDF condemned the incident, stressing that this is shameful and dangerous behavior...

Canada will announce $20.7 billion in retaliatory tariffs in response to the 25% steel and aluminum tariffs that President Donald Trump has leveled, a senior Canadian government official said Wednesday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak before the announcement.
The European Union on Wednesday also announced retaliatory trade action with new duties on U.S. industrial and farm products, responding within hours to the Trump administration’s increase in tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports to 25%.
Canada is the largest foreign supplier of steel and aluminum to the U.S.

Baltimore, MD - March 11, 2025 - A driver is fed up with people trying to steal her tires. Last summer, all four of Vanessa Strand's tires were stolen, and last month, thieves tried to do it again.
This is a growing crime trend in Anne Arundel County that’s difficult to police. Thieves work quickly, typically overnight, and the lack of unique markings on tires makes them hard to trace, which may explain why there's been a surge in these thefts in the last few years.
“I come around the corner and I knew something was wrong, because the car was leaning, it was sitting low. I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ And I could see the yellow crates. And they had took all four tires and rims,” Strand recounted.
Fortunately, her insurance covered the damage. “It ...

The Department of Education announced Tuesday it was firing nearly half of its workforce, the latest Trump administration move to shrink the federal government that could face swift legal challenge.
A senior department official said 1,315 staffers will be let go and received the notification Tuesday.
The Education Department started President Trump’s second term with more than 4,000 employees, but even before Tuesday, hundreds had already been put on leave or had taken a buyout offer.
After this reduction, there will be 2,183 employees left with the department, which Trump has repeatedly called to shutter completely.
The senior official said the reduction in employees will not impact student aid, Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms, formula...
The House on Tuesday passed a funding bill to avert an end-of-the-week government shutdown, teeing up the measure for consideration in the Senate.
The chamber cleared the continuing resolution (CR) in a largely party-line 217-213 vote, with just one Democrat — Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) — bucking his party’s leaders to back the measure. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the lone GOP “no” vote.
The legislation would fund the government through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year, while boosting funds for defense programs and imposing cuts to nondefense funding. Current funding expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday.
“This was a big vote on the House floor, the Republicans stood together and we had one Democrat vote with us to do the ...

In my capacity as a television show host, I have seen and heard a lot. But nothing prepared me for the statement of Shir, daughter of recently released hostage Keith Siegal, who survived 484 days of captivity and joined his wife Aviva, who was also held hostage for 51 days.
I was certain that Shir, like the emotional relatives of other released captives, had come to the Channel 14 studio to call on viewers to support the hostage deal at any cost. I admit: I struggle with that. On the one hand, after all they’ve been through, they have the right to say whatever is on their mind. But on the other hand, don’t those who think differently also have that same right? Not to say everything, but to disagree slightly? To raise questions and concerns? To suggest other ways to free captiv...
President Trump said on Tuesday he was buying a Tesla vehicle as he doubled down on his support of Elon Musk, who has come under mounting scrutiny for leading the Trump administration’s government cost initiatives.
“I’m gonna buy because number one, it’s a great product. As good as it gets. Number two, because this man [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated unfairly,” Trump told reporters outside of the White House Tuesday afternoon.
Trump delivered the remarks alongside Musk and his son, just hours after he first announced on social media he would buy a Tesla in support of the tech entrepreneur. Multiple Teslas, including the Cybertruck model, were parked outside of the White House.

Baltimore, MD – March 11, 2025 - 12:12PM - The traffic light is out in both directions at the intersection of Sudbrook and Reisterstown.
Reminder: The rule for when traffic lights are out is to come to a stop at the light and to treat the intersection or roadway as a regular stop. If it is a four-way intersection, treat it like a four-way stop. If it is a two- or three-way intersection, treat it as a two- or three-way stop, respectively. The same right-of-way rules also apply, such as allowing vehicles in or at the stop first to proceed first and allowing the vehicle on the right to proceed if two vehicles arrive at the stop at the same time.
