Baltimore, MD – May 2025 - Every Shabbos table offers every Jewish family an incredible opportunity by which they can share their joy for Shabbos, for Yiddishkeit and for HaShem with their children. Unfortunately, our schedules are hectic and many people don’t have the time to prepare themselves to utilize the Shabbos table to its fullest. Therefore, we at ACHIM created TableTalk as a pre-packaged talking points pamphlet which is attractive, fun and has something for everyone. Limited copies are distributed to many shuls on a weekly basis but they are snatched up very quickly. Get yours ASAP or click on the graphic below and print your own.What’s in it and what’s all the excitement about?TableTalk features:• Weekly halachic dilemma creat...
The small gold ring probably belonged to a boy or girl living in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period about 2,300 years ago
The ring joins other pieces of jewelry from the Early Hellenistic period discovered in this excavation. Researchers of the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University: “This jewelry discovered now was likely buried then in the context of a well-known practice of that period, which symbolized the transition from childhood to adulthood.”
Jerusalem, Israel - May 21, 2025 - A gold ring set with a red gemstone, approximately 2,300 years old, was discovered in excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University in the City of David in the Jerusalem Walls National Park, and funded by the Elad Association. This is th...
New intelligence obtained by the United States suggests that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing multiple US officials familiar with the intelligence.
It was not clear whether Israeli leaders have made a final decision and there was disagreement within the US government about whether they would ultimately decide to carry out strikes, CNN added, citing the officials.
The report could not immediately be confirmed. The National Security Council did not respond to a request for comment.
The Israeli Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond, nor did the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, which was contacted after hours.
One source familiar with the intelligence told CNN the likelihood of an Israeli strike ...

Baltimore, MD - May 20, 2025 - The FDA announced today (May 20, 2025) a recall on certain cucumbers purchased from Bender Growers in Florida. Seven Mile has been notified by one of our Produce Suppliers that we were sold some cucumbers from the affected lots. As soon as we were notified, we pulled all possibly affected items from our shelves.

Hamas is refusing to agree to a deal based on the Witkoff proposal, despite Israel's agreement to the deal, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
For more stories from The Media Line go to themedialine.org
"Israel agrees to the American proposal for the return of the hostages, which is based on the Witkoff framework," the statement read. "This proposal was recently conveyed to Hamas through the mediators, but so far it continues to cling to its refusal."
The statement confirmed that senior-level negotiators will return to Israel, while a working team will remain in Doha.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the remaining team in Doha is staying to show that Israel is still willing to make efforts to reach a deal.
However, I...
Annapolis, MD - May 20, 2025 - Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed the $61 billion state budget and the so-called budget reconciliation bill that includes a series of fee increases and a new 3% sales tax on technology services used by businesses.
Business groups and Republicans have said that the business tax will force some to leave Maryland. Moore said the budget closes a $3 billion deficit and addresses a changing Maryland economy brought on in part by the Trump administration’s budget cuts and tariffs.
Among the fees increased are car registrations. Those fees have doubled. Another bill increases safety rules for workers, including requiring parole and probation agents and corrections workers to wear body cameras.
This is the last scheduled bill signing. A...
Passengers on Southwest Airlines flights will soon be required to keep their portable chargers in plain sight while using them because of concerns about the growing number of lithium battery fires in a new policy that other airlines may adopt.
Southwest announced the new policy that will go into effect May 28 and said passengers may already have seen notifications about the industry-leading rule when using the airline's app.
There is growing concern about lithium-ion battery fires on planes because the number of incidents continues to grow yearly, and devices powered by those batteries are ubiquitous. There have already been 19 incidents involving these batteries this year, following last year's record high of 89, according to Federal Aviation Administration statistics.

The United Kingdom on Tuesday announced it would pause free trade talks with Israel after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was horrified by the military escalation in Gaza. The UK also announced further sanctions and said it will summon the country's ambassador.
"While the UK government remains committed to the existing trade agreement in force, it is not possible to advance discussions on a new, upgraded Free Trade Agreement with a Netanyahu government that is pursuing egregious policies in the West Bank and Gaza," the government said in a statement.

Delta Air Lines says it will resume daily nonstop flights to Tel Aviv from New York’s JFK airport starting today.
“The decision to resume the route on May 20, which was temporarily suspended in response to ongoing conflict in the region, follows an extensive security risk assessment by the airline,” Delta says in a statement. “Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports.”
The US carrier says a travel waiver will be valid for customers who purchased tickets to Tel Aviv on or before May 5 for travel through May 25.
On May 4, Delta halted all flights to Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile from Yemen struck an area of Israel’s main international airport.
The Israel Defense Forces Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said that aid trucks had entered the Gaza Strip on Monday, following the recommendation of military officials.
This shipment, consisting mainly of baby food and essential products, was subjected to thorough security control, COGAT said.
"The IDF will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip while making every effort to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas."
This resumption of deliveries comes after the decision of the Israeli security cabinet to again allow the transport of humanitarian aid in the face of increasing international concerns about the situation of Palestinian civilians. No aid has entered since March 1.
Alongside this announcement, protests of an unu...
Israel - Hamas War day 592: Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who is also the country's foreign minister, said that Doha blames Israel for not ending the "tragic war."
He said that Qatar "expected the tragedy to end after the release of Edan Alexander, but the continued attacks are harming the chances for peace. Despite the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to end the tragic war, we are witnessing the failure of efforts to achieve calm, due to Israel's irresponsible and aggressive behavior, which limits any chance of peace."
US Special Envoy for Hostages Adam Boehler said at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York that he believes a deal between Israel and Hamas is "getting closer and closer," adding that, if Hamas wants to come ...
The Torah tells us in this week's parsha Parshas Bechukosai:
"Im bechukosai teileichu v’es mitzvosai tishmoru va’asishem osam" — If you go in My statutes, and observe My commandments, and perform them…
Rashi famously explains that "going in Hashem’s statutes" means toiling in Torah — not just learning passively, but putting in real effort.
There’s a powerful story told about the Chofetz Chaim. A young man came to him, disheartened. “Rebbe,” he said, “I’ve been learning for years. I’ve worked hard, but I haven’t become the Torah scholar I hoped to be.”
The Chofetz Chaim looked at him gently and asked: “Is there a mitzvah to become a gaon? The mitzvah is to work hard in Torah. If you’re ...
Jerusalem, Israel - May 20, 2025 - It feels like things are falling apart, right? Like the entire world is closing in and turning on us, right?
It feels like we are alone and with no end in sight. Like we are being punished and isolated because we just want to exist, right? Like there’s no light at the end of the (terror) tunnel.
So let me reassure you, that feeling? Don’t worry,
I feel it too. We all do. Want to know why? Because the media wants you to feel that.
The media wants to isolate Israel and create tension between the US and Israel, tension that does not exist in real life.
But let’s just make some order here.
