Baltimore, MD - June 26, 2024 - Women of the Baltimore community are invited to join a special gathering this Monday, July 1, at 8:00PM at Bnai Jacob Shaarei Zion to commemorate the Shloshim of Goli Balakhani, a”h, an inspiration to so many.
For a long time, I’ve wondered about the living state (or lack thereof) of a bouquet of flowers. Are they alive or are they dead? I know they look nice, fresh, and colorful. But, if you think about it, cut flowers should essentially be considered dead. Which is exactly why I try not to think about it too much. After all, I like flowers and I think they look nice at the Shabbos table!Recently, however, as I was thinking about this morbid component to fresh flowers, my curiosity got the best of me (as curiosity tends to do!), and I decided to reach out to Josh Hurewitz, a business consultant who also holds a PhD in Horticulture. He explained to me that although the cells in the cut flower are still technically alive, the flowers are dying since they are cut off from their source and do...
Baltimore, MD - June 28, 2024: Chaverim of Baltimore Announces Change of Leadership
Over 17 years ago, Mr. David Bagan, along with a few peers and the guidance of mentors, founded Chaverim of Baltimore. An organization built on chessed to “lend a helping hand,” where calls would be far from glamorous but truly appreciated by each community member.
Chaverim of Baltimore launched with just three volunteer responders, each doubling as a dispatcher, using Nextel phones to put out the few calls they received. David, with the support of his wife Bracha, and a team of truly amazing volunteers, worked to build Chaverim into a real community resource, dealing with much more than just “car trouble.” Today, Chaverim’s 50 dedicated volunteers, using both radios and a sp...
“The Lord spoke to Moses saying, “Send out for yourself men who will scout the Land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel. You shall send one man each for his father’s tribe; each one shall be a chieftain in their midst.” So, Moses sent them from the desert of Paran by the word of the Lord. All of them were men of distinction; they were the heads of the children of Israel … These are the names of the men Moses sent to scout the Land, and Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua (Bamidbar 13:1-3, 16).”
We have all had ideas that in the moment appeared to be good and solid and in retrospect were flawed and impetuous. Our ancestors were just a few steps away from the actualization of the promise Hashem had made to Avraham. The Lan...

Baltimore, MD – June 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.
