We’ve just come through the Yom Tov of Shavuos, a time that celebrates the most defining moment in our history: Kabbalas HaTorah. For seven weeks, we counted the Omer in anticipation of that moment, striving to prepare ourselves. For generations, Yidden have stayed up through the night of Shavuos immersed in Torah, reaffirming our bond with Hashem’s most precious gift. And now that the Yom Tov is behind us, the question is: what lasting change will it leave within us? In recent years, our community has increasingly promoted the idea that the ultimate goal for a ben Torah is to remain in full-time learning for as long as possible. Limud Torah is presented not just as a value, but as the only value.

Tension is mounting in the political corridors of the Knesset—and especially in the private rooms of the chareidi factions—just 24 hours before the expected vote on the bill to dissolve the Knesset. At the heart of the storm is a weighty dilemma: whether to go through with the threat to support the bill or hold off in light of new developments.
Chareidi parties have previously declared that they would vote in favor of dissolution as a protest against the government’s failure to deliver on its promise to pass a new draft law, a commitment made during the formation of the current coalition.

Gavin Newsom asked a federal judge to quickly block the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles.

Rav Dov Landau will travel to Los Angeles, California, for the first time in his life as part of a major campaign to raise $150 million to support yeshivos and kollelim across Eretz Yisroel.
The mission, organized in light of government decrees targeting Torah learners and drastic funding cuts, marks the beginning of an intensive effort by Gedolei Yisroel to safeguard the future of the Olam HaTorah.
The historic journey will kick off this coming Motzaei Shabbos, with participation from several of the generation’s gedolei Torah: Rav Dov Landau, Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rav Avrohom Salim, the Sanzer Rebbe, Rav Yaakov Hillel, the Rebbe of Rachmastrivka, Rav Dovid Cohen, and Rav Shimon Galei.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

A deeply moving story was shared this week during the weekly shiur delivered by the mashpia, Rav Meir Itamar Rosenbaum, author of Derech Emunah and nosi of the expansive chesed network Amud HaChesed – Lachmei Mordechai.

Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kreuzer submitted a request to the Israel Police on Tuesday to launch a criminal investigation against Shikma Bressler, one of the leaders of the pre-October 7 leftist protests against the Netanyahu government, for her blatant violation of a gag order. On Tuesday morning, Bressler revealed that the suspect in the arson of HaRav Yitzchak Yosef’s shul, who was arrested by the police and Shin Bet on Monday evening, is Jewish. In the tweet Bressler published on her X account, she wrote, “So the arson suspect at the shul of the man who instructs his Chassidim to throw draft notices into the toilet comes from the same camp.” Kreuzer wrote that Bressler’s tweet is a blatant violation of a gag order issued by a court and called for legal action to be taken against her.
