Baltimore, MD – Oct. 2024 - Every Shabbos table offers every Jewish family an incredible opportunity by which they can share their joy for Shabbos, for Yiddishkeit and for HaShem with their children. Unfortunately, our schedules are hectic and many people don’t have the time to prepare themselves to utilize the Shabbos table to its fullest. Therefore, we at ACHIM created TableTalk as a pre-packaged talking points pamphlet which is attractive, fun and has something for everyone. Limited copies are distributed to many shuls on a weekly basis but they are snatched up very quickly. Get yours ASAP or click on the graphic below and print your own.What’s in it and what’s all the excitement about?TableTalk features:• Weekly halachic dilemma creating l...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 9, 2024 - Billionaire George Soros has delivered millions of dollars to Baltimore non-profits and activists via his philanthropic empire, providing valuable cash to organizations that push progressive policies and fund left-wing activism in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Baltimore has long been a focus for Soros, whose philanthropy is primarily conducted through his Open Society Foundations. Charm City was previously home to the nation’s only local Open Society field office, known as OSI-Baltimore. The office closed last year after 25 years of operation.
The impact Soros has had on Maryland, specifically Baltimore City, is evident in the local organizations he has financially supported through Open Society. Tax filings reveal the Alliance For Open Society Inter...

Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, ruled out the possibility of an agreement with Israel under which the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip will be deported to Sudan.
"Deporting Hamas or its leaders from Gaza is an Israeli dream and illusion that will not come true," he stated.
"The report in one of the enemy's newspapers regarding the deportation of Hamas leaders to Sudan is a stupid statement," al-Rishq said. "We said in the past and we repeat and say now, that Hamas is in Palestine, fighting the enemy that is occupying Palestine."
He added that "logic requires that the criminal occupier leave and the original inhabitants of the land remain."
The Hamas official’s comments follow a report on Reshet Bet radio which said that, in September...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 9, 2024 - Maryland's top candidates for U.S. Senate, Larry Hogan (R) and Angela Alsobrooks (D), will meet in a Thursday televised debate.
Hogan, Maryland's previous governor, trails Alsobrooks, the current Prince George's County executive, in the polls. The election could determine which party has the Senate majority. The race has focused on Hogan's abortion stance and Alsobrooks' recent tax mishap.
The one-hour debate will likely address both matters. The debate airs statewide on Maryland Public Television this Thursday at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. MPT will also stream the debate at mpt.org/vote2024 at 7 p.m.
