Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant to the troops of the Armored Corps stationed in the Mount Hermon region: “These are critical days in terms of exercising our power against an enemy [Hezbollah] that only responds to force. Even if we reach an agreement in the southern arena, we will continue fighting here, until we bring Hezbollah to reach an agreement and ensure the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes.”“Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist organizations have lost 450 [fighters] – 15 commanders at the level of brigade commanders or above, were eliminated. This includes 3 division commanders and makes up for over 50% of Hezbollah’s total number of commanders in southern Lebanon. This is very significant.”Today (Sunday, 7 July 2...

Is attacking synagogues, calling for the genocide of Jews, and calling for the destruction of the United States of America the sign of a person who has their priorities straight? US Vice President Kamala Harris seems to think so.
In an interview with The Nation that was published on Monday, Harris had words of praise for the protest movement that has created a historic outbreak of antisemitism throughout the country since October 7.
According to Harris, the protesters "are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza.”
This is an outrageous statement coming from the Vice President of the greatest nation on Earth. The anti-Israel protests began as soon as antisemites learned of the genocidal massacre Hamas committed on October 7, before the vict...

United States Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines released a rare statement on Tuesday in which she accused the Iranian regime of fueling anti-Israel protests and working to influence the upcoming elections.
"As I noted in testimony to the Congress in May, Iran is becoming increasingly aggressive in their foreign influence efforts, seeking to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions, as we have seen them do in the past, including in prior election cycles. They continue to adapt their cyber and influence activities, using social media platforms and issuing threats. It is likely they will continue to rely on their intelligence services in these efforts, as well as Iran-based online influencers, to promote their narratives," she wrote in what she said ...
Baltimore, MD - July 9, 2024 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a new warning for the Americas as dengue cases reached an all-time high. So far, 19 Maryland travelers have been sickened by the virus.

It was a beautiful Shabbos morning in Camp Romimu where I spent my summers as a division head. The grass was glistening in the sunlit sky after an overnight thunderstorm. There was barely a sound besides a few chirping birds as I made my way to the dining room for a pre-shacharis coffee.
As I entered the empty dining room, there were but a few boys from the special needs bunk hanging out while the rest of the camp enjoyed their last few minutes of sleep. I approached the coffee station laden with all the coffee needs and noticed that one of the boys from that bunk, Yanky*, had his own coffee. It seemed odd as he had a Costco size Taster's Choice while right behind him camp was fully stocked with the same coffee. “Yanky,” I asked “why do you have your own coffee, if ...

Baltimore, MD - July 9, 2024 - One of the most unique, exquisite features of our new building is the 3,000 sq ft courtyard in the center of our beautiful Mikdash Mi'at. The back wall of the courtyard showcases authentic Jerusalem stone, visible from the main lobby and surrounding areas, centering our focus on Yerushalayim Ir HaKodesh. The courtyard will offer a beautiful outdoor gathering space, in addition to housing our spacious communal Succah.

We are looking forward to using this beautiful courtyard for simchas, yomim tovim, and other uplifting gatherings.
