Rep. Al Green filed articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday under a process that will force a House floor vote by the end of this week.
Green introduced his articles of impeachment after the House passed a resolution largely along party lines condemning Trump for suggesting that four progressive freshman congresswomen of color — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) — “go back” to their countries.
Green said that the House should go beyond condemning Trump and move to remove him from office.
It will be the third impeachment floor vote forced by Green in the last two years, but the first since Democrats took control of the House.

An Israeli soldier shot and seriously injured an Arab Israeli man whom he suspected of trying to ram his car into troops manning a checkpoint in the northern West Bank on Monday night, the army said.
After being shot, the Arab Israeli man drove away and was taken to Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital. He is in serious condition in the intensive care unit, a hospital spokesperson said.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was investigating the incident.

It started with a broken cable.
Sometime before 6:47 p.m. on Saturday, a 13,000-volt underground power line at New York City’s West 64th Street and West End Avenue burned, according to Consolidated Edison Inc. One spokesman for the utility said casing along the line had cracked. Another said the company hasn’t determined the cause of the failure.

As the globe warms in the years ahead, days with extreme heat are forecast to skyrocket across hundreds of U.S. cities, a new study suggests, perhaps even breaking the “heat index.”
“Our analysis shows a hotter future that’s hard to imagine today,” study co-author Kristina Dahl, a climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in a statement. “Nearly everywhere, people will experience more days of dangerous heat in the next few decades.”
By 2050, hundreds of U.S. cities could see an entire month each year with heat index temperatures above 100 degrees if nothing is done to rein in global warming.

As Israel Concludes, the Diaspora Picks Up Steam in Kiryas Melech Campaign to Assist Rav Chaim Kanievsky and His Son, Rav Shlomo
At this very moment, the global campaign on behalf of Rav Shlomo Kanievsky and Yeshivas Kiryas Melech-Kiryas Melech in Bnei Brak is at a crucial juncture.
The day may have ended for those in Israel, but for those in the United States and elsewhere, the campaign continues at full throttle, with the goal of reaching $5 million. 
If the funds are raised, the yeshiva will be saved.
It is a question of survival, nothing less.
Askonim and volunteers are manning phones, soliciting others, and doing all they can to ensure that this campaign hits the goal.

Former Texas Congressman Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s presidential campaign raised $3.7 million in the second quarter of this year – far less than the roughly $6 million that his campaign said it collected on the first day of his candidacy.
When O’Rourke got into the race four months ago at the urging of fans, he was expected to be a magnet for political donations, having raised $80 million for his unsuccessful Senate race in Texas last year. During the first 17 days of his presidential campaign, he raised $9.4 million.
But O’Rourke’s lackluster fundraising for the three-month period ending June 30 shows how far his star has fallen and highlights the challenge he faces to remain competitive in the crowded Democratic field.

The Orthodox Union has launched the application process for the second cohort of its Impact Accelerator project to rapidly identify and invest in ventures addressing current and future Jewish communal interests.
The program runs more than 12 months, and is built on mentorship-based growth and early-stage funding for Jewish nonprofit entrepreneurs. Chosen ventures will be awarded up to $25,000 each.

This past week has been a very difficult one for the Bauman family, the Norfolk community, and all of Klal Yisroel.     

Rabbi Reuven Bauman and his family moved to Norfolk 3 years ago to become the 7th/8th and 3rd grade rebbi for Toras Chaim Day School. Ever since the Baumans moved to Norfolk, they made a tremendous impact in their unique way. Rabbi Bauman was known for his radiant smile. The positive influence that Rabbi Bauman had on his talmidim and community members will be eternal. Besides being an excellent and popular rebbi, he made time to learn with baalei batim and other community rabbeim. He was an amazing husband, a beloved father, and most of all a real eved Hashem.

The highlight of every chupah is when the time arrives for the kallah to walk down the aisle. As the room fills with emotion, the crowd welcomes the kallah – “Bo’ee Kallah”. How much more meaningful of a moment, when a close family member sings the kallah down to these words.
This past May 5th was one of those memorable moments. Meet new Jewish music talent Daniel Israel, as he welcomes the kallah, who happens to be his sister, to that special moment in her life.
Joining Daniel, is the Yedidim Choir, and an Aaron Teitelbaum Symphony, with absolutely gorgeous musical arrangements by Yisroel Lamm. Enjoy as Daniel allows us to join him as a guest to that special chupa.

“Are y’all ready for an old fashioned Troll Storm?” publisher Andrew Anglin wrote. “Because AYO – it’s that time, fam.”
With that, Tanya Gersh, a real estate agent in the picturesque resort community of Whitefish, Montana, saw her life upended. Gersh, her husband and their 12-year-old son were flooded with vile phone calls, text messages, emails, and social media posts, many of which contained death threats and anti-Semitic slurs. Gersh, who is Jewish, was told that she should have perished in the Holocaust, and received chilling voice mails with the sound of a gun firing again and again. She began experiencing panic attacks that left her vomiting and short of breath.
