Baltimore, MD - Sept. 23, 2022 - Dear Parents: We live in times of great uncertainty. A world steeped in immoral values, where nations seek to destroy one another and financial markets are struggling with instability. Through all of this we seek some sanity, a ray of clarity for ourselves. As one walks around the halls of our Cheder, hearing the precious voices of young innocent children, singing and davening to 'ה, repeating the heilege פסוקים of חומש after their רבי, or the older תלמידים engaged in the שקלא וטריא of the גמרא, there is no room for doubt. אשר בחר בנו מכל העמים. The תורת אמת continues its journey of מסורה. At the end of the school day, when the תלמידים enter the doors of their homes to be gre...
A New Year Without Our Nasi Hagadol Maran Sar Hatorah As we look back on this past year, it is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of the revered and beloved Nasi of Shas Yiden – Maran Hagaon Hagadol, Sar Hatorah, Harav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l. He was the central source of encouragement for the incredible growth and success of Shas Yiden. He took great interest in the avreichim geonim and spurred them on to even greater heights in limud Hatorah, and the Gedolei Torah joined him in this support. Rav Chaim’s joy was to farher the Shas Yiden in detail, ‘firing’ questions from all over Shas, and then to be able to exclaim “Zei kennen Shas” (They KNOW Shas.) He is sorely missed. (Below this short recap and greeting is a copy of th...
Baltimore, MD – Sept. 13, 2022 – Seven Mile Market announces  its Rosh Hashanah schedule including opening on Motzaei Shabbos Sept 24 from 9:00 – 11:30PM.
A Montgomery County Circuit judge on Friday ruled that elections officials could start counting mail-in votes before polls close on Election Day. The decision stems from a lawsuit brought by the State Board of Elections, challenging a Maryland law that requires mail-in votes to be counted two days after an election. Many blamed the law for delayed Primary election results back in July. Officials had told the judge they would not reveal any early results until polls closed on Election Day, but that it would allow them to be caught up and avoid a backlog of votes. The judge agreed and said counting could begin as soon as October 1, pending an appeal. This past General Assembly state lawmakers proposed a bill that would have changed the law, but it was vetoed by Governor Larry Hogan, who...

Once again Rosh Hashana is upon us.   Most people as they return to this point in our yearly cycle feel a sense of ‘here we go again’. We have been here before and we are right back where we started from. Looking back, we do not necessarily feel we are in a much different place than we were last year. Perhaps some of our dreams have been fulfilled, whether it was: finding a partner in life; being blessed with children; snatching that job or business opportunity; recovering from illness. But did we really change and improve? Have we enhanced our character, or are we still stuck with the same issues and challenges? When evaluating our overall standing and purpose, how many of us sense drastic change?   The frustration is even more significant for those who are still w...
