Muhammad Deif, Donald Trump - Making Sense of It All
Who would have thought that the targeted assassination of Muhammad Deif would be eclipsed by the assassination attempt against Donald Trump?
It is our hope that Deif has, indeed, been eliminated and that the world has been cleansed of this evil. Trump has only suffered a light injury, baruch Hashem, but the attempt has thrown American politics into turmoil.
When you feel that the world is going mad, it is important to return to our sources. This week’s Torah portion, Balak, reminds us that what we are experiencing today has occurred before. We read how Balak, king of Moav, hires the prophet Bilaam to curse the Jewish people. Bilaam tries again and again to curse them, but each time only blessings emerge from his mouth.

Our hearts are still bleeding from the tragic loss of our dear friend, Rena Baron a”h, founder of Mom2Mom and the “Mommy and Me” classes
that have become so synonymous with AIM.
Rena was, “kishma kein hi”, pure joy, to all those who were so fortunate to know her. She touched us, uplifted us, and inspired us in all areas of our lives. We saw the love and excitement she felt towards being a mother, and that love was felt not only by her immediate family, but by her broader Baltimore family as well.
When she reached out to bring her organization, Mom2Mom, under the umbrella of AIM, it was a win - win for everyone.
Rena embodied the mission of AIM - her passion for new mothers knew no bounds, and the dedication she exhibited to mothers i...
Former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump announced Monday that he had picked Ohio Senator J.D. Vance to be his vice presidential running mate, choosing a candidate that could galvanize the Republican base and supporters of an “America First” foreign policy as well as pro-Israel voters.
Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social during the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, just two days after the presumptive Republican nominee survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Vance, 39, successfully ran for Senate in 2022 and assumed office in January of 2023. He serves on committees related to banking, commerce, economics and aging. The senator previously worked as a venture capitalist in the tech ind...
Baltimore, MD - July 16, 2024 - When it comes to children learning how to read, most experts agree the pivotal year is third grade.
Now, Maryland is considering a policy which would require third graders be able to read at grade level before moving to fourth grade.
Dr. Carey Wright has big plans as Maryland State Superintendent of Schools. But in her first year, she’s starting small.
“I think you can identify little ones that are struggling very young,” Wright told Project Baltimore during an interview in March.
Early Childhood literacy is a main focus of Dr. Wright and the Maryland State Department of Education. A newly drafted literacy policy introduced by MSDE would implement a reading intervention program for some of the state’s youngest learners.

Three people were wounded after shots were fired at an Israeli vehicle at the Ramin intersection near Beit Lid in the northern West Bank on Tuesday morning.
The victims were a 32-year-old man and two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16.
The three were lightly wounded by shattered glass as a result of the shooting and received immediate medical treatment, according to Magen David Adom (MDA). According to Israeli media reports, they were soon transferred for medical treatment at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba.
IDF personnel arrived at the scene.
Karin Moskovitz, commander of the MDA Samaria station, told Israeli media: "They said that a bunch of shots were fired at them, 8-9 shots, they did not see the shooter who was apparently alone."

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he will commit $45 million per month to a new political action committee backing former President Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Musk’s announcement comes on the same day Trump was named the Republican Party’s official nominee and after he named Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate.
America PAC will primarily focus on voter outreach and registration efforts, the Journal reported, with the intention to combat Democrats’ traditionally strong similar campaigns.
Other notable backers of the PAC include the Winklevoss twins, tech entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale, former ambassador to Canada and Kentucky Senate candidate Kelly Craft and her husband, coal executive Joe Craft...
President Joe Biden has ordered the U.S. Secret Service to protect independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Kennedy is a longshot to win Electoral College votes, much less the presidency. But his campaign events have drawn large crowds of supporters and people interested in his message.
Trump was not seriously injured in the shooting over the weekend in Pennsylvania. There is an independent review of the attack.
Former President Trump has chosen Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate for the 2024 election, tapping the first-term Ohio senator and America First firebrand to join the Republican ticket.
Vance has emerged in recent months as one of the most visible defenders of the former president. Allies have praised him as an articulate voice of the populist conservative movement who has built a strong personal relationship with Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., and Vance will likely be a fierce and willing attack dog in the bruising campaign to come.
The selection of Vance also comes at a critical moment in the election, just days after Trump was nearly assassinated during a rally in Butler, Pa. Trump has seized on the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee as a moment to ral...

Anti-Israel protesters waved a Hezbollah flag and called for intifada and the destruction of the State of Israel outside a synagogue in Queens on Sunday, according to pro-Palestinian organizations, despite the Israeli real estate seminar they rallied against no longer being held at the site.
Activists led by Palestinian Assembly for Liberation New York and New Jersey (PAL-Awda) had descended on the Congregation Charm Circle in the Kew Gardens Hills neighborhood on Sunday evening to protest a real estate seminar, but according to social media statements by Jewish neighborhood watch group Queens Shmira and New York State Assemblymember Sam Berger, the venue for the event had been changed. Shmira had promised in a Friday statement that the synagogue would remain open for worship.

“Pray for the welfare of the kingdom, for were it not for the fear it inspires, every man would swallow his neighbor alive.” (Ethics of our Fathers, 3:2)
Today’s appalling assassination attempt on former President Trump is deeply upsetting and sadly not entirely shocking. With deep concern, we have been witnessing a gradual descent towards anarchy that has impacted the safety and security of our country, its leaders, and its people. We pray for a return to law, order, and a peaceful public square. We offer sincere prayers for the full recovery of former President Trump and all those harmed by today’s unconscionable attack.
A shooting at Donald Trump ’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, law enforcement officials say.
Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide reacted to the shooting.
The Secret Service said it killed the suspected shooter, who attacked from a rooftop of a nearby building outside the rally venue.

IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi delivered a situational assessment at the Palmahim Air Force base on Sunday, where he spoke of the recent IDF strike on a compound where Mohammad Deif was located.
"Yesterday, in a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet, we attacked a compound in Khan Yunis where Mohammad Deif, the commander of the military wing of Hamas, was hiding - the man who planned and gave the order for the October 7 attacks."
Halevi noted that the strike killed Rafa’a Salameh, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade, which was confirmed earlier on Sunday by the IDF.
The IDF Chief of Staff also stated that according to intelligence assessments, there were no hostages in the compound.

Judge Aileen Cannon tossed former President Trump’s case over his alleged mishandling of classified information, ruling Monday that special counsel Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed.
The ruling hands a major victory to Trump, marking the first time one of his four criminal cases has been dismissed entirely.
“The Superseding Indictment is dismissed because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution,” Cannon wrote in a 93-page ruling.
The judge said her determination is “confined to this proceeding.”
The decision comes just days after an attempted assassination against the former president.
