President Donald Trump has long criticized the 2015 accord and insisted that the United States would exit it as soon as possible. As recently as last month, Trump called the agreement “a total disaster” and argued that the Obama administration’s pledges to cut carbon emissions under the deal would have “hurt the competitiveness” of the United States.

Another election is coming this Tuesday November 5th and is shaping up to be the most consequential for the Orthodox community in Rockland County.  While there is occasionally a question as to which candidates to support, that is not the case this year.

One is the rosh yeshiva of the Mir Yeshiva in New York, a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah in the United States; the other is an esteemed posek, the head of the Bais Horaah Haklali in Yerushalayim, and a member of the nesius of Shuvu.
When they first met last week at a Shuvu school in Bat Yam, Rav Brudny sighed and told Rav Kook, “I remember clearly when your parents were tragically niftar.”
Rav Kook was surprised. Indeed, it was a tragedy when his father, Rav Shlomo Kook, the late Chief Rabbi of Rechovot, and his mother, Rebbetzin Yehudis Kook, and their two young sons were killed in a car accident, but how did the rosh yeshiva remember the exact date almost 38 years later?

The United States is withholding $105 million in security assistance for Lebanon, reported Reuters on Thursday, citing two U.S. officials.
This development comes as Israel has reportedly asked the United States and other countries to condition assistance to Lebanon on how its government handles the U.S.-designated terrorist group and Iranian proxy Hezbollah, which is part of the Lebanese government.
Israel has expressed concern that the funding towards the Lebanese Armed Forces have supported Hezbollah. The LAF, which received $100 million last year from the United States, and Hezbollah are known to have cooperated together.
