Hundreds of Orthodox Jews crowded into Linden, NJ’s City Hall on Tuesday afternoon, during Chol Hamoed Pesach, to protest a series of proposed ordinances that community members say unfairly target and restrict the growth of the Orthodox Jewish population in the city. Men and boys, many dressed in Yom Tov clothing, arrived in packed buses and cars, filling the municipal building beyond capacity. The meeting room quickly became overcrowded, with many people turned away at the door. The meeting, which included second readings on several proposed zoning changes, concluded without a vote—adjourned in the face of the overwhelming turnout from the community.

Israeli ground forces operating in southern Gaza have discovered and rescued a dog abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas assault. The dog, a three-and-a-half-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Billy, was found in the city of Rafah and returned to Israel after soldiers identified her via a microchip implant. Billy belonged to Rachel Dancyg, ex-wife of Holocaust historian and educator Alex Dancyg hy”d, who was kidnapped during the October 7 onslaught and later murdered in captivity. Billy’s safe return has brought a wave of emotion to the Dancyg family, who had long given up hope of ever seeing her again. “We are in complete shock and overwhelmed with emotion to see her tomorrow,” said Yaron Maor, Rachel’s son-in-law, in an interview with Ynet.
