Baltimore, MD - Dec. 20, 2025  - Chanukah teaches us a powerful lesson: sometimes it is the smallest flame that brings the greatest light. Here in Baltimore, a Chassidish mosad is working every day to bring the light and warmth of Chassidus to our community. The school includes a daycare, cheder, girls’ preschool, and elementary school, nurturing children from their earliest years with Torah, yiras Shamayim, and ahavas Yisrael, while providing parnassah for over 40 local families.

With tremendous siyata d’Shmaya, payroll has never been late, and the daily avodas hakodesh continues with dedication. As Chanukah ap...

Baltimore, MD - Dec. 22, 2025 - Maryland utility regulators approved less than half of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company’s (BGE) request to recover costs from the final year of its pilot three-year rate plan, citing concerns over customer affordability. The Maryland Public Service Commission on Monday granted BGE $77.2 million of the $152.3 million the utility sought in a so-called “true-up” for 2023 spending it says was not fully recovered through rates.
“The actions of the elected leaders of the State in reaction to the widespread concerns regarding affordability of critical utility services demonstrate that granting a reconciliation of the magnitude BGE requested would risk increased utility unaffordability by many customers,” said Frederick ...

Baltimore, MD - Dec 22, 2025 -  Among the key findings of a report set to be released Monday by a Baltimore nonprofit is a claim that data on juvenile justice in Maryland is “frustratingly incongruent” across agencies, causing analysis of youth crime and how prevalent it is to be “contentious and disputable.” “Beyond the Headlines: What We Know and Don’t Know About Baltimore Youth Crime and Justice,” which was funded and published by the Abell Foundation, concluded that inconsistency in data “makes it challenging — if not impossible — to track and compare trends across the system.” Most metrics — youth arrests, prosecutions and juvenile system contacts — have risen in Baltimore out of historic lows reached...
