That perfect slice of Jersey pizza. Garden State puns about putting down roots. A whirlwind lesson on Navy helicopters. And diners, lots of diners. If you’re paying attention to New Jersey’s race for governor between Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli and looking for signs about the national mood on President Donald Trump’s agenda and how voters are reacting to Democrats’ messaging, getting to know the candidates might help decode things for you. Both Sherrill and Ciattarelli emerged from competitive primaries and began the general election campaign Wednesday with efforts to unify their parties.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ochana formally greeted President Milei, calling his presence in the Knesset a “historic moment” for bilateral ties between the two nations.

WH PRESS SECRETARY: “President Trump will never allow mob rule to prevail in America. The most basic duty of government is to preserve law and order…That’s why President Trump deployed the National Guard and mobilized Marines to end the chaos and restore law and order.”

WH PRESS SECRETARY: “The latest consumer price index inflation report came in today below expectations again. Since President Trump took office, inflation has come in below economists’ expectations every single month… Under President Trump’s strong leadership, America is beating Joe Biden’s record-high inflation crisis.”

WH PRESS SECRETARY: “The Trump administration is going to continue the mass deportation effort that the President promised the American public… It’s part of the reason we do need the One, Big, Beautiful Bill to pass… The bill provides funding to hire more ICE agents and Border Patrol agents.”

Karoline Leavitt sends a strong warning to any rioters across the country: “Let this be a message to left-wing radicals in other parts of the country thinking about copycatting the violence to stop mass deportation, you will not succeed.”

Elon Musk’s recent apology for his sharp criticism of President Trump appears to have landed well with the commander-in-chief. In a short phone call Wednesday morning, Trump told The Post, “I thought it was very nice that he did that,” though he declined to say whether he was ready to reconcile with the tech mogul.

LAS VEGAS – A new attraction in Las Vegas is turning heads — and turrets.

NEW YORK – NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch declared Wednesday that the department “will not abdicate” its responsibility to keep New York City streets under con

Few people in recent history have had as profound an impact on the entirety of Klal Yisrael as has Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz z”l. Through ArtScroll, he has touched unaffiliated Jews starting to learn about Yiddishkeit and great Rabbanim. The works he initiated can be found throughout five continents, on school desks and the tables of gedolei Yisrael, in five continents and numerous languages. Indeed, many Gedolim have referred to him as “the Greatest Marbitz Torah in Klal Yisrael.” Anyone who reads the acknowledgements of an ArtScroll sefer will quickly see that the gadol who Reb Meir was closest to, and who truly guided and encouraged ArtScroll was Hagaon Rav Dovid Feinstein, zt”l, with whom R’ Meir spoke virtually every day.

President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration is facing tough questions about safety during a hearing Wednesday in the wake of January’s deadly midair collision and a string of other crashes and near misses since then. Much of the industry, including the major airlines and their trade groups, supports Bryan Bedford’s nomination. But pilots unions and Democrats have raised concerns that he might weaken pilot training standards. Bedford has been CEO of regional airline Republic Airways since 1999 and has more than three decades of experience in the industry. He has pledged to make safety the FAA’s top priority and work to restore public confidence in flying.

A convoy carrying hundreds of pro-Hamas activists has arrived in Libya after driving from Algeria and crossing through Tunisia on its way to the Gaza Strip to violate Israel’s military blockade on the terror-ruled Gaza Strip. The convoy is made up of at least 1,500 people, including pro-Hamas activists and supporters from Algeria and Tunisia, with more expected to join from Libya. AFP quoted organizers as saying that the convoy is not carrying aid to Gaza but plans to violate the blockade as a “symbolic act.” The group arrived in Zawiya city in Libya Tuesday and plans to reach Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah Crossing, traveling by cars and buses. It drove through the Libyan cities of Tripoli, Misrata, Sirte, and Benghazi to reach the Saloum Crossing which borders Egypt.

I want to thank Yeshiva World News for its outstanding and respectful coverage of this year’s Adirei HaTorah event. The reporting captured not only the grandeur of the production but also the deep ruchniyusdik power and communal pride that defines this monumental evening. Adirei HaTorah has become more than just an annual gathering — it is a movement, a statement, and a declaration of priorities: that Torah and those who toil in it are the crown jewels of Klal Yisroel. Having attended each year, I can personally attest to the incredible energy in the room — the kavod haTorah, the achdus, and the powerful message that resonates beyond the walls of the arena. Every seat in the crowd speaks of reverence. Every face reflects admiration.

A 13-year-old Tel Aviv boy has been arrested for allegedly carrying out acts of vandalism at the behest of an Iranian agent in exchange for cryptocurrency. Israel Police and the Shin Bet security agency confirmed Tuesday that the minor was recruited via the Telegram messaging app and instructed to deface bus stops across the Tel Aviv area. While authorities declined to reveal the specific content of the graffiti, security sources said it follows a disturbing pattern of pro-Iran messaging and anti-Israel slogans observed in similar cases in recent months.

In the wake of the shocking desecration and arson attack at his shul, former Rishon LeTzion Rav Yitzchok Yosef has departed for Canada as part of an emergency chizuk mission on behalf of Eretz Yisroel and the Olam HaTorah.
The rov traveled on a private plane discreetly donated by one of the leading philanthropists who regularly supports Torah institutions.
The mission comes just days after the deliberate burning of the beis medrash where Rav Yosef delivers shiurim. Surveillance footage from the scene reportedly showed the suspect targeting the rov‘s seat, pouring flammable liquid, igniting it, and fleeing.
