It might be the best time for it. A lot of people think summer means everything goes out the window. No structure. No routine. Just survive until September. I get it. The kids are home. The schedules are upside down. There’s wet laundry in random places and someone always needs a snack. But here’s the truth no one really talks about: Summer is the perfect time to grow. Not because you have tons of quiet or freedom (ha). But because you don’t. When things feel looser, less predictable, and a little bit out of control… that’s when you get to practice becoming the version of yourself you want to be. You get to say: “I was a more present mother this summer.” “I didn’t lose my mind every bedtime.” “I want to eat healthy and exercise every day.” “I got more patient. I connected more.

U.S. filings for jobless benefits were unchanged last week, remaining at the higher end of recent ranges as uncertainty over the impact of trade wars lingers. New applications for jobless benefits numbered 248,000 for the week ending June 7, the Labor Department said Thursday. Analysts had forecast 244,000 new applications. A week ago, there were 248,000 jobless claim applications, which was the most since early October and a sign that layoffs could be trending higher. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of U.S. layoffs and have mostly bounced around a historically healthy range between 200,000 and 250,000 since COVID-19 throttled the economy five years ago, wiping out millions of jobs.

But I have to ask a question for a friend — and I’m sure he’d not the only one thinking this:
Are the only singers we can find for a Litvishe yeshiva event Chassidish?

Can we take a moment and flip the script?
