Baltimore, MD – Sept. 28, 2025 – This morning, the Jewish Cemetery Association organized a cleanup at Hebrew Friendship Cemetery, where more than 30 volunteers came together to restore and beautify the grounds. The JCA, which owns and operates 20 older cemeteries in the Baltimore area, works to ensure that final resting places are cared for with dignity and respect. Volunteers cut back trees, cleared trash from inside and outside the cemetery, and cleaned many headstones—including those of Harry and Jeanette Weinberg.

New York, NY - Sept. 28, 2025 - "The Orthodox Union joins with our dear friends in the Mormon community and with all Americans in mourning the victims of the senseless and horrifying attack on the Church of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Today’s attacker did not satisfy his hatred with the intentional murder of those engaged in worship; he set the entire house of prayer ablaze. It is devastating to see yet another outburst of violent hatred against faith and its practitioners, precisely as so many in our blessed country are turning to focus more on G-D, prayer, love for each other, and our shared religious and moral values.
Our hearts have again been broken but our resolve is even stronger to stand together with all Americans against hate."

A gunman was "down" after shooting multiple people at a Michigan church that was also engulfed in flames on Sunday, authorities said.
The active shooter situation unfolded just before 10:30 a.m. local time at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, the Grand Blanc Township Police Department said in a post on social media.
"There are multiple victims and the shooter is down," police said. "There is NO threat to the public at this time. The church is actively on fire."

New York, N.Y. - Sept. 28, 2025 - Mayor Eric Adams is dropping out of New York City’s mayoral race amid escalating pressure to clear the crowded field in a last-ditch attempt to stop socialist Zohran Mamdani’s election to City Hall.
The bombshell move comes after weeks of back-and-forth over whether Adams would bow out of the race, in which he is polling fourth, far behind frontrunner Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
“It’s been an honor to be your mayor,” Adams said in a video announcement, according to a transcript obtained by The Post, touting his victories over his first term.
“Although our successes… I know I cannot continue my campaign,” he said.
“I strongly encourage who e...

Baltimore, MD - Sept. 27, 2025 - The Moore administration is facing increasing pressure from activists and the head of the Legislative Latino Caucus to boot a discount airline from Thurgood Marshall Baltimore Washington International Airport because it has been flying immigrants targeted for deportation to a detention facility in Louisiana.
The activists are calling out Avelo Airlines, which signed charter contracts earlier this year with the Department of Homeland Security to carry immigrants rounded up by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency from airports across the country to a detention center in Alexandria, Louisiana, where detainees arrive shackled and in handcuffs.
Avelo operated about 20% of the deportation flights in the U.S. in August, according to data comp...

The Washington Post on Saturday night published further details about the Trump administration’s 21-point proposal aimed at ending the Gaza war, beginning with an immediate halt to military operations, the freezing of battle lines, and the release within 48 hours of all 20 living hostages and the remains of deceased hostages.
The plan, obtained by The Washington Post and verified by officials from two governments briefed by the administration, calls for the destruction of Hamas’s offensive weaponry and offers amnesty to members of the group who “commit to peaceful co-existence.”
Hamas members who choose to leave Gaza would be granted safe passage to other countries, according to the report.
Neither Israel nor Hamas has agreed to the proposal, which...
The United Nations officially reimposed sweeping sanctions on Iran early Sunday, targeting the regime’s nuclear ambitions and military capabilities, reports The Associated Press.
The move, triggered by France, Germany, and the United Kingdom under the “snapback” mechanism of the 2015 nuclear deal, comes after last-ditch diplomatic efforts failed at the UN. On Friday, the United Nations Security Council rejected a final attempt by Russia and China to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran, just one day before the deadline.
The sanctions, which took effect at 0000 GMT (8:00 p.m. Eastern), freeze Iranian assets abroad, ban arms deals with Tehran, and penalize any development of its ballistic missile program. Iran, which had insisted the UN lac...
