Baltimore, MD - Oct. 16, 2025 - On Shemini Atzeres night, my wife and I were blessed with a newborn son. Little did I realize that on that same night, my Rebbi – one of the most impactful people in my life – would be taken from us without warning. I am in complete shock and cannot find the words at this moment to eulogize him in any way. But in truth, I don’t know if I ever will. Rabbi Hauer’s influence on me runs much deeper than words. As I sit here at my desk at 1:00 am with my shirt torn, the few words of eulogy - which we read just this morning - written by Hashem Himself over the death of his most trusted servant, Moshe - will have to suffice: וימת משה עבד ה'.Moshe Rabbeinu’s life was summed up in those two words, Eved Hashem. ...

The Houthis have confirmed that their Military Chief of Staff, Muhammad Abd Al-Karim al-Ghamari, who was wounded in an Israeli airstrike, succumbed to his wounds.
The IDF confirmed the elimination, stating: "Following an IDF strike targeting senior members of the Houthi terror regime on August 28th, 2025, it is now confirmed that the Houthi Chief of the General Staff, Muhammad al-Ghamari, was eliminated."
Al-Ghamari was appointed Chief of Staff in 2016 after holding a series of senior positions in the Houthi terror regime. Over the years, he played a key role in building the military capabilities of the Houthi terror regime, particularly in establishing its missile systems and weapons-production infrastructure.
As part of his role, al-Ghamari received training by terrorists from the Hez...

נפלה עטרת ראשנו With a heart full of unspeakable sorrow, it is my terrible duty to share that Moreinu V'rabeinu, our teacher, our light and leader, Rabbi Moshe Hauer, has passed away. Rabbi Hauer זצוק"ל passed away suddenly on Shemini Atzeres night. It was the family's wish not to share this news on yom tov so that all the relatives could be properly informed. Instead of mourning on yom tov, we did together what made Rabbi Hauer happiest of all: we danced together, we sang together, we experienced yom tov as the kehillah hakedoshah that he so lovingly and painstakingly fashioned. I can only imagine what nachas he had from watching us be the shul that he wanted us to be. And now, we will mourn. The levaya and funeral details are still being arrang...
With tears in our eyes and hearts breaking, we share the devastating news of the loss of our beloved brother, rabbi, partner, friend, and Executive Vice President Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l. Rabbi Hauer was a true talmid chacham, a master teacher and communicator, the voice of Torah to the Orthodox community and the voice of Orthodoxy to the world. He personified what it means to be a Torah Jew and took nothing more seriously than his role of sharing the joy of Jewish life with our community and beyond. Rabbi Hauer’s leadership was marked by unwavering dedication, deep compassion, and a vision rooted in faith in Hashem, integrity, and love for Klal Yisrael. Whether through his inspiring words, thoughtful counsel, powerful advocacy, or quiet acts of kindness, Rabbi Hauer up...

“This is the first time in my life that I can actually say Chag Sameach.”
Jerusalem, October 14, 2025 - On the eve of Simchat Torah, exactly two years after the darkest day in recent Israeli history, hundreds of Nova Festival survivors gathered in Jerusalem for a profoundly healing and hopeful holiday culminating in the joyous Hachnasat Sefer Torah procession through the streets and into the Great Synagogue.
Kesher Yehudi planned to host the Nova survivors for the complicated Yom Tov for a second year in a row, “in the merit of our hostages returning home.” No one imagined they would be celebrating the return home of all of Israel’s living hostages earlier that very day.
The beautiful Yom Tov event was held at the Olive Tree Hotel. It included s...
