President Donald Trump rejected reports suggesting he had blocked Israel from launching strikes on Iran’s nuclear program. In an interview with TIME magazine on Friday, he dismissed the claim, saying, “That’s not right.”
Pressed to elaborate, Trump clarified, “No, it’s not right. I didn’t stop them [Israel]. But I didn’t make it comfortable for them, because I think we can make a deal without the attack. I hope we can. It’s possible we’ll have to attack because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. But I didn’t make it comfortable for them, but I didn’t say no. Ultimately, I was going to leave that choice to them, but I said I would much prefer a deal than bombs being dropped.”

A new analysis released Thursday by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) claims that federal regulations under the Biden administration cost Americans a staggering $2.16 trillion in 2024, effectively saddling households with what the think tank calls a “hidden regulatory tax” of over $16,000.
In its annual report, Ten Thousand Commandments, CEI concluded that these regulatory burdens equate to $16,016 per household. The study estimated that such costs consume roughly 16% of the average household’s income and make up 21% of overall household expenditures.

Finding Time for Real Torah Learning Is Hard. Finding Time for Deep Halachic Mastery? Even Harder. It’s a challenge that many thoughtful bnei Torah quietly struggle with. You miss learning. Not just a quick podcast or a fast-paced shiur — but deep, thoughtful learning.The kind that gives you meaning. That fills you with satisfaction. That makes you feel connected — to Torah, to halacha, to yourself. Learning that brings Torah back to being a central part of your life. You want to learn halacha seriously — not just the bottom line, but the background. You want to understand the why, not just the what. You want to feel confident when a shaila comes up at home. But summary books feel too superficial. The information doesn’t stick. You try to learn, but it feels scattered. Disconnected.

By Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz
Yom Tov provides an idyllic break from the ups and downs of life. Each day of the yemei chol is a battle between our yeitzer tov and yeitzer hora. Throughout the day, we endeavor to do what is right, to follow the path of Hashem, seeking to rise and better ourselves, while pushing back on thoughts and actions that veer us from the correct path and lower us.
Every day, we work to be good and do good to ourselves and to those around us. Hashem put us here to daven, learn Torah, perform mitzvos, help others, and contribute to the betterment of our world. Life is a daily contest between doing what we know is right and trying to do enough to get by.
