Baltimore, MD - July 2, 2026 - The Baltimore community recently marked the shloshim of Karen Cohn, יוכבד רבקה בת מאיר ע״ה - a milestone of grief and reflection for a woman whose impact radiated far beyond her immediate family. To the countless close friends who made up her massive, lifelong circle, she was a fiercely loyal confidante. To hundreds of young singles over the years, she became an “Aunt” - a surrogate mother, an advocate, and a living example of selfless devotion.
Her passing on the 9th of Sivan has left an unimaginable void. For over 51 years, Karen and her husband, Jeff, built a beautiful, vibrant life together. Their home was a place of endless warmth, laughter, and a beautiful legacy of children, grandchildren, and great-grandch...

There are many places in the Torah where we see the effect of different types of behavior. Anger inevitably leads to mistakes, kindness can have positive consequences for generations and humility keeps one from losing sight of what’s right and wrong. Parshas Pinchas contains a far more subtle but unmistakable lesson.
After counting all the Shevatim and their progeny we are introduced to the Bnos Tzlafchad. These daughters brought to Moshe Rabeinu’s attention the apparent inequity in that they were not going to have a chelek in Eretz Yisroel because their father had died in the Midbar and chalakim were only being given out according to the male lineage. (Tzlafchad had no sons) Moshe had to ask Hashem what should be done about their seemingly legiti...
A nation is traumatized.
In a frenzy of immorality, instigated through the counsel of Bilaam, the Moabite women not only seduce the general populace to debauchery, but Zimri in a shocking act of brazenness takes his paramour, a Midianite woman, to the entrance of the Tent of Assembly sinning with her in public. This resulted in a plague that kills twenty-four thousand people in one fell swoop.
The plague was stifled only after Pinchos zealously takes action to kill Zimri and Cozbi.
In reward for his courageous act in 'turning back' G-d's wrath from the Children of Israel, he is rewarded a 'covenant of peace', and that he and his descendants will merit to be 'Kohanim forever'.
Can an act of a single individual possibly atone for a communal sin and quel...
Baltimore, MD - Jul 3, 2026 - Parents, grandparents, Rebbeim, and friends gathered at the Cheder's annual Mesibas Preida to celebrate the graduating eighth-grade class and their years of growth as Bnei Torah.
The program commenced with heartfelt words of inspiration from Board Chairman Rabbi Hillel Tendler and Rabbi Hirsch, who encouraged the graduates as they prepare for the next stage of growth in Torah.
A special highlight of the evening was the tribute to Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz, beloved first-grade Rebbe for more than 35 years, recognizing his decades of dedication to generations of Talmidim.
Rabbi Hexter arranged for two first-grade boys to perform a touching song in honor of the graduates, symbolizing the beginning and culmination of their experience in the Cheder.

Baltimore, MD - July 2, 2026 - With Rabbi Naiman’s recent decision to retire from his position as Rav and assume the role of Rav Emeritus, we take this opportunity to express our profound gratitude and appreciation. We recognize our founding Rav and Rebbetzin, Rabbi Abba Zvi and Rebbetzin Rochel Naiman, whose vision, dedication, and unwavering commitment established the foundation of our kehillah approximately 27 years ago.
From the very beginning of BMR, a trailblazer shul in Ranchleigh, Rabbi and Rebbetzin Naiman set out to build a mikdash me’at, a makom Torah and tefillah marked by serious davening, meaningful learning, and genuine achdus. Through their tireless efforts, they transformed a vision into a shul that has become an anchor for many in the Ranchleigh/Greenspring a...
Baltimore, Md - July 2, 2026 - For many years, the Vaad HaRabbonim of Baltimore, through the Agudah of Baltimore, provided a Scrip Program that allowed community members to purchase certificates to give to Meshulachim. These certificates were sold at a modest premium above their face value, with the additional funds remaining here in Baltimore to support our local mosdos.
This program was a tremendous benefit to our community, and we are deeply grateful to the Agudah for managing and facilitating it for so many years. Unfortunately, the Agudah is no longer able to continue operating the Scrip Program.
Announcing Our New Program:
Baruch Hashem, we are pleased to share that a replacement program has now been arranged through The Donors’ Fund. The new program will...

In Ma’aseh haEgel, why did only Shevet Levi answer to Moshe’s Mi laShem eilai? The zekainim and tzaddikim felt that those few who sinned with the egel were no longer worthy of rejoining the Holy Nation; by thinking this way, the tzaddikim gave power to ...
