Three Israelis were wounded this morning in a car-ramming attack in Yerushalayim’s Romema neighborhood.
Magen David Adom emergency paramedics treated the victims at the scene for light injuries. Two of the victims were then evacuated to the city’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
Police released surveillance footage showing a car accelerating into a group of Orthodox men on a sidewalk, sending them flying in the air.
A terrorist then exited the vehicle and tried to open fire on the victims using a makeshift “Carlo-style” submachine gun.
According to police, the weapon jammed and the two terrorists discarded it while fleeing on foot.

By Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, executive vice president, Agudath Israel of America
Upon the Yahrtzeit of the Novominsker Rebbe zt”l, today

I had the zchus, for over 35 years, to work closely with the Novominsker Rebbe ztvk’l in the vineyards of Agudas Yisroel. Many of those interactions were memorable, and I had frequent occasion to marvel at the brilliance, compassion and vision of this great leader.

But perhaps the project the Rebbe undertook that will remain with me most vividly is the very last one I had the privilege to work with him on: the letter of brocha and chizuk issued by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah earlier this week, on Monday 12 Nisan, in advance of the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach.

Lakewood, NJ – Lakewood, an area of 26 square miles, has 217 miles of Township streets. It also has thousands upon thousands of garbage receptacles – bins that, while serving town residents, belong to the Lakewood Public Works Department, which is responsible for the maintenance and repair of Township roads and sewers, Township parks and open space, snowplowing of Township streets, leaf and brush collection, and, of course, garbage and recycling collection.

Please note that most vaping products are not kosher for Pesach. Virtually all disposables, Juul pods, and year round vape juice contain chometzdike ingredients due to the use of alcohol flavorings that contain wheat.
There are a limited number of kosher for Pesach vape juices. Caveat emptor.
Vaping Connection in Lakewood put out a statement that their homemade vape juice contains chometzdike ingredients. They do, however, have a limited number of kosher-for-Pesach vape juices. Contact them at 732.858.1757 for more information.

From the time that Rabbi Chaim Aryeh Zev Ginzberg was a young yeshiva bochur learning in Eretz Yisroel through today as a seasoned rov for almost 40 years, he had the merit to do what most of us just dream about. He had developed a close and personal connection to almost all of the gedolei hador of the previous generation and spent a great deal of time with many of them. He would personally ask them hundreds of contemporary shailos in all areas of halacha and hashkafah, and he immediately committed their responses in writing, often reviewing with them what he had written.

Several members of Congress expressed support for Israel on Friday amid reports that the Israel Defense Forces struck a military facility deep inside Iran.
“We stand beside our friend and ally, Israel,” wrote Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kas.). “Israel has a right to defend itself against Iran. Their aggression will not be tolerated. Iran cannot be allowed to bully its neighbors or develop nuclear weapons.”
“Israel has the ability to conduct strikes against targets inside Iran without entering Iranian air space from aircraft over Syrian and Iraqi airspace,” wrote Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
