A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Harvard’s enrollment of foreign students, an action the Ivy League school decried as unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands.
In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard...

Someone sent me a striking article that’s been circulating online (attributed to @AP_from_NY). It’s bold, and makes a powerful point.
But as with many strong messages, it needs context.

Did you ever notice how Orthodox Jews couldn’t care less what the world thinks of them?
Not a little. Not secretly. They truly, completely, deeply don’t care.
They’ll walk through an airport looking like they time-traveled out of 1850. Pray out loud in a hoodie or a hat while people whisper.
The men grow beards, wear hats, let their tzitzit hang out, like from another world.
And they’ll show up to your office two days late because it was a holiday no one’s ever heard of.
And they won’t apologize.
You can’t imagine what it&rs...
Baltimore, MD - May 22, 2025 - Can you believe that we are in the month of May?! There’s around 17 days or so left until the end of the school year, but who’s counting? Of course the students, and admittedly yes, the teachers too. There’s no shame in that. We all worked hard and are ready for that long-awaited summer vacation! It’s all about fun in the sun and precious recharging time for everyone. Before we jump into all that, it is worthwhile to note that this month of May is indeed a precious time for educators, and perhaps for parents as well. It is an opportunity to take pause and make a mental accounting of the school year. Almost like the cheshbon hanefesh that we do before Rosh Hashanah, this time of year is co...
Baltimore, MD - May 22, 2025 - At the start of the week, I allocated time to write down some thoughts and contemporary lessons from this week’s double Parshios of Behar/Bechukosai. Then our world changed. Last night, less than an hour’s drive from us, a young Jewish couple readying to embark on the greatest adventure of building a life together, were gunned down in our nation’s capital because they were Jewish. Jews were murdered in Washington DC – because they were Jews. Yaron Lichinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were a sweet and devoted young couple. They believed in the Jewish people, they believed in peaceful coexistence, they were working on behalf of the Jewish State and her people. Yaron purchased an engagement ring and planned on proposing to Sarah next we...
Annapolis, MD - May 22, 2025 — The United States Senate passed a resolution that will end the coming ban on the sale of gas-powered cars in several states, including Maryland.
The resolution, known as Senate Joint Resolution 45, was applauded by Maryland State House Republicans as it will disapprove the California waiver to the Clean Air Act for Advanced Clean Cars II.
Governor Wes Moore adopted the California Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) and the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rules in 2023.
This would've required all new passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs in Maryland to be zero-emission, by 2035.
In April, Governor Moore issued an Executive Order that delayed Maryland’s enforcement of these standards for two years.
“California’s emission standards do not re...

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing back-and-forth between the White House and the university.
“Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” the US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
