Last month, a traveler raising money for tzeddaka in Brooklyn drove through the night to Detroit – his next fundraising stop. He felt sick en route and saw a doctor when he got there. But the doctor, who had never seen measles, misdiagnosed the man’s fever and cough as bronchitis.
Over the next two weeks, the traveler would become Michigan’s Patient Zero, spreading the highly contagious respiratory virus to 39 people as he stayed in private homes, attended synagogue daily and shopped in kosher markets. His case offers a cautionary tale about how easily one of the most infectious pathogens on the planet spreads within close-knit communities – especially those whose members live, work and socialize outside the mainstream.

A robocall stating that a kol korei applies to tonight’s kumzitz event at Lake Terrace Hall in Lakewood, NJ is categorically false.
“Unfortunately, it is a fabrication of some misguided individuals with an agenda,” an organizer told Matzav.com.
The event has not been subject to a kol korei of any kind.
The event will be featuring singers Beri Weber and Uri Davidi, music by Yossi Shtendig Productions, and Zemiros Choir.
The fake robo call can be heard here:

Every second guy, it seems, has become an expert on the recent kumzitz tumult. Each “expert” knows that we don’t give our boys enough healthy outlets and that we should be doing things differently, etc. They know why the tumult happened, who is responsible, and what should be changed.
Everyone is suddenly an expert of the latest hock.
So thanks to all these “professionals” for the insight. But it’s pretty obvious. Neither me nor you needs another guy on a blog or WhatsApp to lament how our system is broken and we aren’t doing things right and we should be outraged and all that. We’ve heard it. We know it. And it’s changing.
So what is the lesson?
The lesson is about the power of the yochid.

My dear child, it is now a quiet moment late at night. After an exhausting day of Pesach cleaning, you have sunk into the sweetest of sleeps, and I am sitting here with a pile of haggodos, preparing for Seder night. Somehow the words never come out the way I want them to, and the Seder evening is always unpredictable. But so many thoughts and feelings are welling up in my mind and I want to share them with you.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said Monday that he will fight President Trump in court over Trump’s plan to send undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities like New York.
“It’s illegal. It is just plain illegal. We will meet him in court. We will beat him in court,” de Blasio said in an interview with NY1.
Trump argued Saturday that he has the legal right to send migrants to sanctuary cities — areas where local authorities refuse to help federal officials in enforcing immigration laws.
