Baltimore, MD – March 2026 – There are certain things in life we take for granted, and a shiva house having a minyan is one of them. But in reality, that is not always the case.
Too often, individuals assume someone else will attend — yet at times, a minyan does not materialize, creating added stress for families already navigating aveilus.
In response, Baltimorean Jeff Cohn developed T’Nuchamu, a new global initiative designed to address this issue in a simple and effective way. A designated family representative enters and updates levaya and shiva details, while registered volunteers are notified via email, SMS, or WhatsApp to help ensure a minyan.
Beyond that, T’Nuchamu empowers the broader community with real-time updates — including changes such ...
US President Donald Trump said today (Tuesday) that the war against the Iranian regime will not "last much longer" and said that the US is "obliterating" Iran's forces.
“We’re not going to be there too much longer. We’re obliterating the s-t out of them right now, it’s a total obliteration," Trump told the New York Post. “But we won’t have to be there much longer - but we have more work to do in terms of killing their offensive, whatever offensive capability they have left."
When asked about the Strait of Hormuz, Trump stated that he expects the shipping lane "automatically reopen" with the end of the war and that "the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it."
He said that the Strait of Hormuz is a secondary con...

The Torah assigns the night of Pesach a striking name: Leil shimurim. On the simplest level, it describes the condition on the night of Yetziat Mitzrayim itself. After centuries of vulnerability, exposure, and fear, our people finally experienced a night of safety. While death raged through Egypt, the Jewish people sat inside their homes, protected and alive. It was the first Leil shimurim our nation had known in centuries.
A LAYERED NIGHT
In truth, this night had already served as a night of protection long before Yetziat Mitzrayim. This evening appears earlier in the life of Avraham Avinu. When he went to war against the four kings who had swept through the region, Avraham pursued them at night and defeated them. The Torah describes his strategy with the phrase “וַיֵּחָל...

Ma'ale Adummim, Isrqel - Mar. 29, 2026 - I've been writing for days that I'm tired. Today, perhaps for the first time in my life, I realize that I'm not tired. Because tired is the wrong word. You are tired when you've had a long day, when you work hard to accomplish some physical task and yes, when you haven't slept enough (which most of Israel has not. But in truth, we aren't tired. We are weary.
