A group traveling through Nashville, Tennessee on their bain hazmanim trip weren’t expecting to become agents of kiruv, but suddenly found themselves thrust in that position upon encountering an unobservant Jewish man. The bochurim’s actions that followed made a tremendous kiddush hashem. The bochurim say they met a man who told them that he had not put on tefillin in more than three decades. The bochurim immediately offered to wrap him in tefillin, and he happily obliged. The man proceeded to put the tefillin on himself, wrapping the retzuos with procedural memory as he had been taught decades earlier. A trip meant for relaxation and unwinding turned into an incredible kiddush hashem and an opportunity to bring another Jew closer to Hashem. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

While Donald Trump hasn’t officially announced another run for president in 2024, he gave a message to members of his former administration, including Mike Pence, that running against him would be “very disloyal.” In an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio, Trump sidestepped questions about when he would announce a run, but took a shot at potential Republican challengers. “Mr. President, when will you decide if you’re going to run in 2024?” Kilmeade asked. “And how would you handle running against people in your Cabinet like Pompeo, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence?” “Well, many of them have said they would never run if I run,” Trump replied. “So, we’ll see whether or not that turns out to be true.
