Iran early Sunday morning responded to US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum demanding that it reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, threatening to strike all US and Israeli infrastructure across the region if its facilities came under attack.
"If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure belonging to the United States and the (Israeli) regime in the region will be targeted," a spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the body overseeing Iranian military operations, said in a statement quoted in Iran’s Fars news agency.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also warned that Iran would show "zero restraint" if its infrastructure was att...
US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran on Saturday night, saying they must open the Strait of Hormuz unconditionally within 48 hours.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
In a post published about an hour earlier, Trump said that “the United States has blown Iran off of the map", rejecting analysis stating he hasn’t met the goals of the war.
“Yes I have, and weeks ahead of schedule! Their leadership is gone, their navy and air force are dead, they have absolutely no defense, and they want to make a deal. I don&r...

Baltimore, MD – Mar. 21, 2026 – (BJL) A 6-car accident on I-695 East toward Towson, just past the exit for I-83, has two right lanes blocked, with only the left lane getting through. About 1/4 mile ahead, additional vehicles are blocking the left lane, forcing drivers to merge into the right lanes.
Baltimore, MD - Mar. 21, 2026 - Three years ago, Baltimore lost a giant, Rabbi Moshe Juravel, zt”l. I had the zechus to write an article about him, which was warmly received. He inspired so many in various ways. In the article, I shared that before Pesach, Rabbi Juravel wanted to teach the boys about family minhagim and gave out a questionnaire for the boys to fill out. (Click on the graphics below for a larger, printable version.)
My brother, who was in his class, brought this home and my father excitedly filled it out. Years later, my other brother used this as a springboard to write a kunteres for our family of its minhagim, all from a handout to a fifth-grader!
In the opening, he writes: "To the parents of my talmidim. Yiddishkeit has survived the galus intact because of our ab...
Baltimore, MD - Mar. 20, 2026 - Amid the War with Iran, soaring prices at the pump, state Republicans are making a push for a 30-day gas tax holiday.
"Our joint Republican Caucus is going to be pursuing, we are pursuing a 30-day gas tax holiday that would mirror what we did in the winter of 2022, when the General Assembly, in a bipartisan way, and Governor Hogan signed a 30 day gas tax holiday," Senator Justin Ready said.
Currently, the gas tax is about $.46 per gallon, and Republicans argue that in the short term, it could provide meaningful relief at the pump.
According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the average gas price in Maryland as of Friday was $3.83, which is just below the national average of $3.91.
"I don't think anyone should really be opposed to this,...

"Jewish physical matter is spiritual." This teaching from the Alter Rebbe (as quoted in HaYom Yom for 27 Teves) is one of the most fundamental principles of Yiddishkeit. When we say the words "ืืื ื ืืืจืช" (You chose us), the Alter Rebbe explains that it is going on our bodies! Of course, our souls are holy and spiritual, but we are enlightened that in a certain realm, our physical bodies are holy and spiritual as well. Hashem chose our physical bodies, thus showing us that even Jewish physical matter is, indeed, spiritual.In HaYom Yom for 29 Adar II, the Rebbe quotes an unbelievable thing from his father, the Rebbe Rashab: My revered father, the Rebbe, once said at a farbrengen: "G-d created the world and all physical entities as something out of nothing (ืืฉ ืืืื or ืืื ืื...

Baltimore, MD - Mar. 20, 2026 - Yesterday we crossed the Yam Suf. I know it’s early, but when you’re travelling with children you need extra time. Kidding. For over a decade and plus some, I have been crossing the Red Sea with my students. My husband asked me how the trip was this time around?
Part of my preparation for my preschoolers with their Haggadah is to give them a taste of “chayav adam liros es atzmo k’ilu hu yatza mimtzrayim.” I do this by inviting Miriam HaNeviah (a.k.a. me) to come to the kitah and she brings us all back in time to the night of Yetzias Mitzrayim when we left in a hurry and then what we did when we arrived at the Yam Suf. Included in the reenactment are the child actors for Moshe Rabbeinu, ...
The central goal of the Seder night is to strengthen our ืืืื ื ืคืฉืืื, simple and pure faith, and to feel as though we ourselves are leaving ืืฆืจืื. At the beginning of the Haggadah, we recite ืื ืืืื ืขื ืื, written in Aramaic even though most of the Haggadah was composed in the time of the ืชื ืืื. Aramaic was the common spoken language during the time of the ืืืืจืืื, and the reason this section was written in that language was so that everyone, especially the poor, could understand the invitation: “ืื ืืืคืื ืืืชื ืืืืื”—whoever is hungry should come and eat. One might ask, if this is truly our invitation, why do we not literally leave our doors open on the night of Pesach? The answer is that before Pesach we fulfill this id...
For many people, the commencement of Sefer Vayikra marks a distinct departure in the Torah from the telling of the history of the world and our becoming an Am, to the more technical details of the Avodas Hamishkan and Korbanos. Indeed, without a Bais Hamikdash, it is all too easy to “read through” much of the Sefer as not relevant to our place in Galus. After all, what possible use could we have for learning the difference between a Korban Tamid and a Korban Mincha or the precise method in which a Kohen was to sprinkle the blood from an offering? Such an approach misses the obvious – Sefer Vayikra represents the same word of Hashem as Sefer Bereishis or Sh...
Once a year we confront our archenemy — Chometz, leaven bread, eradicating it from our homes.
In the days when the Temple stood, there was a daily battle with this 'evil' entity, for whenever a Mincha — a meal-offering consisting of flour was brought, the priests would have to be most diligent in the processing of this sacrifice to assure it would not become leaven and remain Matzah.
No meal offering that you sacrifice to the Lord shall be made [out of anything] leavened. For you shall not cause to [go up in] smoke any ืฉืืืจ — leavening or any ืืืฉ — fruit-honey, [as] a fire offering to the Lord; (Vayikra 2 11)
The Talmud in analyzing this verse determines that 'No meal offering shall be made leavened' refers to the entire mea...
