It’s a question that is on many people’s minds. What happens to Yeshiva Bochrim, Seminary girls, and other students who will be travelling to Israel with the ongoing Coronavirus quarantine regulations. With Pesach just a few weeks away, many students currently in Eretz Yisroel will be coming home for a few weeks and returning. Hopefully, coronavirus will be a thing of the past by that time, but if things stay the way the are now, they will have to enter a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon their arrival. This does not (yet) apply for visitors arriving from the United States, but that can change at any time.

Join the thousands worldwide who have already experienced breakthroughs in their memory and remember what’s on every blatt in Masechta Berachos. “I am a kollel youngeman from Lakewood who just started doing Daf Yomi for the first time. Zichru has made this learning experience like no other! I can’t even imagine what it would be to do the Daf without Zichru. The clarity that I have gotten of the first perek so for is unreal! I haven’t known the pieces of an entire perek so well before, that in seconds can say over what topics of every single blatt! I highly recommend anyone doing the Daf to join Zichru ASAP!” Reuven M. Lakewood “I have an average memory and have always struggled with chazara methods or the lack thereof.

The struggling British airline Flybe collapsed Thursday amid drops in demand caused by the new coronavirus, leaving passengers stranded and threatening the viability of regional airports across the country. Flybe’s fall highlights the damage that the virus outbreak has had on the airline industry, which has cut back on flights around the world as people avoid flying out of precaution. The British regional airline narrowly avoided bankruptcy in January but had continued to lose money. Unions and opposition politicians attacked both the airline’s owners and Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government for failing to act to save it.

To the Far Rockaway and Nassau County Community, As you all know, COVID-19 (AKA Coronavirus) has now spread to the New York area and many people are concerned. Hatzalah would like to provide some guidance to the community on this important topic: First – please do not panic! Although this virus is contagious, it is usually not life threatening in healthy people. It causes symptoms very similar to the flu, including fever, cough, sneezing, body aches, and weakness. It has a greater effect on the elderly and patients with chronic lung disease. Second – the best treatment is prevention. Please frequently wash you hands with soap and water (20 seconds of lathering and rinsing each time) or a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, such as Purell.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has hit a record low of 3.29%, driven down by investors shifting money into the safety of U.S. Treasurys as the coronavirus outbreak has deepened. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year loan tumbled this week from 3.45% last week. The new rate is the lowest since Freddie Mac started tracking it in 1971, the company said. The fall in long-term mortgage rates came in a week when the Federal Reserve made a surprise emergency cut in its benchmark interest rate to aid the economy in the face of the spreading coronavirus. Investors seeking safety and anticipating further rate cuts by the Fed have shifted money into Treasurys and other fixed-income securities that are perceived as safe havens.

Four years after Russia-linked groups stoked divisions in the U.S. presidential election on social media platforms, a new report shows that Moscow’s campaign hasn’t let up and has become harder to detect. The report from University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Young Mie Kim found that Russia-linked social media accounts are posting about the same divisive issues — race relations, gun laws and immigration — as they did in 2016, when the Kremlin polluted American voters’ feeds with messages about the presidential election. Since then, however, the Russians have grown better at imitating U.S. campaigns and political fan pages online, said Kim, who analyzed thousands of posts.

Three questions were posed today to the Gadol Hador, Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky regarding coronavirus. Rav Chaim was first asked by a French Rov if people return from France to Israel now, they will require going in to mandatory 14-day isolation and will miss “Parshas Zachor” this Shabbos with a Minyan as well as Megilla on Purim. Rav Chaim responded that people should return to Eretz Yisroel anyways. When pressed once again that they will not be able to go to Shul, Rav Chaim said they should return anyways and added “Shomer Mitzvah Lo Yeida Davar Ra”. SEGULA AGAINST CORONAVIRUS: Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky was asked by Yeshiva Bochur today what he should a person do to protect themselves. Rav Chaim responded “Learn Shas”.

An ambitious fundraising goal will UNLOCK $1,000,000 You are reading this because you have seen the impact of a Mirrer Yeshiva education. You know that, for years, this makom Torah has been – and continues to be! – a pillar of the Jewish community. Thousands of students – children, teens, and young adults – have walked through our doors to blossom into talmidei chachamim. Here, they forge a relationship with HaKadosh Baruch Hu that lasts a lifetime. But there is so much more work to be done. Brooklyn is changing. Students require more individualized attention than ever before. And parents – many of them alumni – want to send their children here.

Elizabeth Warren, who electrified progressives with her “plan for everything” and strong message of economic populism, dropped out of the Democratic presidential race on Thursday. Her exit came days after the onetime front-runner couldn’t win a single Super Tuesday state, not even her own. For much of the past year, her campaign had all the markers of success, robust poll numbers, impressive fundraising and a sprawling political infrastructure that featured staffers on the ground across the country. But once voting began in February, she never found a reliable base of supporters as Democrats coalesced around her progressive rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former Vice President Joe Biden, who established himself as the leading centrist in the race.

What does more than $500 million get you? For Mike Bloomberg, it was 175 winning votes in this U.S. territory — a group of Pacific islands with lush vegetation and stunning coastlines some 7,200 miles from where he once served as New York City’s mayor. Bloomberg’s lone primary victory in American Samoa, population 55,000, was an unorthodox and dubious culmination to a much-hyped but short-lived Democratic presidential campaign marked by unprecedented spending designed to make a splash in Super Tuesday states. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, he did it. Bloomberg on Tuesday won half of the 351 Democrats voting in the American Samoa caucus, picking up five delegates before he dropped out of the race and endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday. U.S. Rep.
