“She was Baltimore Royalty.” Those words were repeated over and over again when news of the passing of Mrs. Elinor Cohn, Elka bat Binyamin Tzvi, a'h, was shared.
How true those words are. Always full of poise, dignity and grace- Elinor Cohn was Baltimore Royalty. No matter where you would see her she was always put together, nails done, lipstick set and a radiant smile as she would greet you. There was an inner beauty that emanated from her as well. A pure heart, always there to help, be involved, and give advice and never asking for anything in return.
She was part of the America’s Greatest Generation as well as Baltimore’s greatest generation; without whom Baltimore would not be the thriving Jewish Utopia it is today. That generation brought to ...

New York, NY - Sept. 21, 2025 - The announcement by several countries, including the UK, France, Canada and Australia, in support of recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of the Two State Solution conference this week represents a profound strategic and moral failure. Israel left Gaza in 2005 and the Palestinians used the opportunity to build a radical enclave committed to Israel's destruction, as they made clear on October 7. Hamas has celebrated the recognition of Palestinian statehood as the product of October 7. It is patently obvious that rewarding terrorism undermines the very foundation of peace. Recognition of statehood under these conditions does not advance coexistence; it legitimizes extremism and communicates that terror works. Peace can only be built when both parties ...
Baltimore, MD – Sept. 21, 2025 – 12:30PM - Due to a serious motor vehicle accident, avoid 83 North between Northern Parkway and 695.
In September 2023, Mossad agents infiltrated a secret bunker in Dahieh, Beirut, and installed advanced equipment designed for a precise deep strike. During the Israeli Air Force’s attacks on Hezbollah targets in Dahieh, agents entered the Haret Hreik area—the heavily secured Shiite district where Nasrallah’s secret bunker was located.
According to a report by Ron Ben Yishai in Yedioth Ahronoth, the operatives carried disguised packages and installed sensitive equipment in an underground facility in the heart of enemy territory, risking their lives in the process.
The operation was carefully coordinated with the IDF, which did not pause its bombardment during the infiltration; rather, it intensified the strikes to divert Hezbollah’s attention. The devices were plac...

Three major Western powers - Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia - formally announced on Sunday the recognition of the State of Palestine, in what they described as a coordinated effort to revive prospects for a two-state solution in the Middle East.
In a joint statement issued by the governments of the UK and Australia, the move was presented as part of a wider international initiative aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages taken during the October 7, 2023, atrocities, and renewed momentum toward peace.
"Effective today, Sunday the 21st of September 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia formally recognises the independent and sovereign State of Palestine," the statement declared. It added that the recognition was coordinated with Canada and the UK and reflect...
At the beginning of the cabinet meeting today (Sunday), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is in discussions with Syria, but emphasized that "there is still a long way to go" in efforts to reach a peace agreement with one of Israel's oldest enemies.
He said, "Our victories in Lebanon against Hezbollah have opened the door for the possibility of peace with our northern neighbors. We are holding talks with the Syrians - there has been some progress, but it is still too early to speak about a peace agreement."
"We are on the eve of Rosh Hashanah," Netanyahu opened his remarks. "In the past year, we have achieved remarkable, historic successes. First and foremost, the historic achievement that guarantees the continued existence of the State of Israel and, from there, t...

Baltimore, MD - Sept. 20, 2025 - Beginning Oct. 1, Maryland drivers caught speeding by automated speed monitoring systems will face a new, tiered fine structure.
The change comes with the passage of House Bill 182, signed into law by Governor Wes Moore on May 13, 2025.
Previously, all speed camera violations in Maryland carried a flat $40 civil penalty, regardless of how much a driver exceeded the speed limit.
Under the new law, fines will still be issued as civil citations (not criminal charges and no points on a license), but the amount will now depend on how far over the speed limit a driver is traveling.
Drivers going between 12 and 15 miles per hour over the limit will pay $50. Those speeding by 16 to 19 miles per hour will face a $70 fine. The penalty ...
Qatar is demanding a public apology from Israel for the airstrike in Doha against senior Hamas leaders as a condition for renewing its involvement in mediating between Israel and the Hamas terror group for a ceasefire deal, Channel 12 News reported.
According to the report, the request was conveyed to Jerusalem and also presented to American officials.
Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, Qatar has served as a key mediator between the sides, and the Trump administration believes that without its involvement negotiations will struggle to advance.
The issue was raised during US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s talks this week with the Qatari emir in Doha, as well as in his meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.
The Qatari demand was also p...
A new poll, published by The Telegraph, has revealed a massive disconnect between British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the public, with nearly nine out of 10 Britons opposing his expected decision to recognize a Palestinian state without any conditions.
The poll comes amid reports that Starmer is set to officially recognize a Palestinian state as soon as Sunday.
According to the poll, conducted by JL Partners, a meager 13% of Britons support the unconditional recognition of a Palestinian state, a figure that plummets even further among Labour’s own voters, with only 11% backing the Prime Minister’s anticipated move.
A majority of 51% of Britons are opposed to recognition while the Hamas terrorist organization continues to control Gaza and holds Israeli ...
