Jerusalem, Israel - March 28, 2025 - Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, initiated a conference to combat antisemitism in Jerusalem, Israel, at the Jerusalem International Convention Center on Wednesday and Thursday, under the title of Ambassadors of Truth.
These international gatherings began with MK Natan Sharansky and a small group around one table. Under President Reuven Rivlin, the world leaders attending his mega event included Presidents, Princes, and Kings. Most years in between the event was held in the same venue with tables of invited dignitaries. This year, European politics cast a shadow on the event, though one would not know it from the crowded room filled with chairs for the main speakers and pan...
Baltimore, MD – March 28, 2025 - Over the past several months, we have been privileged to welcome many new members to our kehillah — many of whom bring with them a rich Sephardic heritage and beautiful customs.
Beginning this Shabbos morning, we are excited to launch a dedicated Sephardic Minyan for Shabbos morning tefillah (for Kabbalas Shabbos and Shabbos Mincha/Maariv, we will IYH daven together as one community).
Important Notes:
Until the parking lot construction is complete, the Sephardic Minyan will IYH meet in the Social Hall.
Both the main and Sephardic minyanim will IYH share in the same Kiddush at the conclusion of davening.

Nearly a year after the exodus from Egypt, G-d directs Moshe to inaugurate the erecting of the Tabernacle, on the first of the month of Nissan.
ביום — On the day, החדש הראשון — of the first month, באחד לחדש — on the first of the month, you shall set up the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting. (שמות מ ב)
The verse seems redundant. Throughout the Torah the phrase 'ביום החדש', refers to the initiation of the month — Rosh Chodesh, so why the repetition of 'באחד לחדש' —'on the first of the month' in the very next words?
This verse with its emphasis on the 'first of the month' echoes an earlier one that was conveyed exactly a year before to the day.
החדש הזה — This mon...
