Maryland Gas Tax Set to Increase Slightly Beginning July 1 Baltimore, MD – June 3, 2026 – (MM) Maryland drivers will see a slight increase in the state gas tax beginning July 1, with the tax on gasoline rising to 46.6 cents per gallon — an increase of six-tenths of a penny over the current rate. The increase comes after two years of small declines and is separate from the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon. State officials said the increase was not primarily driven by the war with Iran, although recent Middle East tensions have contributed to rising gas prices. Officials noted that the average gasoline price over the 12-month calculation period was actually lower than the prior year. The increase will amount to about six cents more in taxes on a 10-gallon fill-up. Maryland’s gas tax formula includes inflation and wholesale fuel prices, with inflation adding nine-tenths of a penny this year. Republican lawmakers criticized the automatic inflation-based increases, calling them unaffordable for Maryland families already facing high fuel prices.

Rabbi Zvi Teichman on Parshas Behaalosicha - Thinking of You The Torah testifies that Moshe was ענו מאד — exceedingly humble, more than any person on the face of the earth. (במדבר יב ג) The Arizal reveals that the great Tanna, Hillel, was a 'spark' — of the same root soul, of Moshe. They both lived 120 years. They were both humble, as the Talmud (Shabbos 30) encourages that everyone should strive to be ענותן כהלל — as humble as Hillel. Elsewhere the Talmud (Sanhedrin 11.) states that the שכינה — Divine Presence dwelled upon Hillel, כמשה רבינו — as it did upon Moshe. The famous adage Hillel was wont to say: אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וּכְשֶׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי, מָה אֲנִי. וְאִם לֹא עַכְשָׁיו, אֵימָתַי — If I am not for me, who will be for me? And when I am for myself alone, what am I? And if not now, then when? exemplifies the character of Moshe, who singlehandedly… Read more on BJL: https://www.baltimorejewishlife.com/news/news-detail.php?SECTION_ID=45&ARTICLE_ID=185343

Caught on Camera at 4:18AM: Thieves Roam Hatton and Northbrook Checking for Unlocked Cars Baltimore, MD – June 4, 2026 – (BJL) – Ring camera footage captured thieves helping themselves to the contents of unlocked vehicles on Hatton Road and Northbrook Road overnight. The video was recorded at 4:18AM, giving residents a sense of the timeframe during which the activity occurred. Community members are strongly urged to lock their car doors, remove valuables, and ensure their vehicles are secured at all times. Unfortunately, these crimes often occur when criminals find easy opportunities, so taking a few extra seconds to lock up can go a long way toward preventing theft.

BJL Traffic Alert – Park Heights & Seven Mile Lane Baltimore, MD – June 5, 2026 – 9:07AM (BJL) Motorists are advised to use caution at the intersection of Park Heights Avenue and Seven Mile Lane. It appears that a large vehicle may have struck the traffic signal structure, causing one of the turn-signal heads to become bent sideways. As a result, drivers attempting to turn from Park Heights onto Seven Mile Lane literally cannot see when the turn signal changes to green unless they are positioned at just the right angle. Additionally, the traffic signal facing motorists traveling from the Seven Mile Market direction is hanging upside down. While the light itself is functioning properly, its position makes it extremely difficult - if not nearly impossible - to see. Please use extra caution when traveling through the intersection, particularly when making turns. ----------------------------------

DPW Director Matthew Garbark said groundwater levels remain low and expressed hope for substantial rain in the coming weeks. Residents are encouraged to continue voluntary conservation efforts, including postponing lawn and garden watering, minimizing shower time, turning off taps when not in use, and avoiding filling swimming pools.

Target Recalls Up & Up Fragrance Free and Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes Due to Potential Microbial Contamination Minneapolis, MN - June 7, 2026 - Target is voluntarily recalling Up & Up Fragrance Free and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes following customer complaints of product discoloration, and FDA testing that identified the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli in product samples. Use of products contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioi may result in serious and life-threatening infections. The products are predominantly used on newborns, infants, and young children, who are particularly vulnerable to opportunistic infection due to their immature immune systems. In healthy individuals, use of the product on skin with minor lesions will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals, newborns, infants and young children, the infection is more likely to spread into the bloodstream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia. The recalled wipes were manufactured by a supplier and sold at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com.

Israel on High Alert After Iran Launches Missile Barrages Toward Israel Tel Aviv, Israel – June 7, 2026 – (Arutz-7) Sirens sounded across northern Israel Sunday evening after Iran launched several missile barrages at Israel. During the first barrage, four missiles were fired toward northern Israel and were successfully intercepted. The attacks followed Israeli strikes in Beirut's Dahieh district and threats from senior Iranian officials promising retaliation. The IDF announced it had reinforced its defensive posture and is preparing for the possibility of additional missile fire toward Israel in the coming hours. In response to the heightened threat level, the Home Front Command tightened security guidelines nationwide, and Education Minister Yoav Kisch announced that all schools and matriculation exams would be canceled Monday, with educational institutions remaining closed throughout the country. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened senior defense officials for an emergency security consultation. While Israeli officials said they take Iran's threats seriously, current assessments indicate that a larger immediate attack remains unlikely. Nevertheless, the IDF remains on high alert and prepared for both defensive and offensive operations. Senior Iranian officials continued issuing warnings of further retaliation, while the United States reported that its forces in the Middle East remain alert and prepared for developments.

Historic Baltimore Rabbanim Mission to Eretz Yisroel Explores Aliyah, Chinuch, and Community Opportunities as Interest Continues to Grow Jerusalem, Israel - June 8, 2026 – (BJL Israel ) As growing numbers of orthodox families explore the possibility of building their futures in Eretz Yisroel, a distinguished delegation of Rabbanim from Baltimore embarked this past week on a four-day leadership mission to Eretz Yisroel organized by Naava Kodesh. The Baltimore delegation included Rabbis Daniel Rose, Duvi Rubin, and Binyamin Marwick. They were joined by Baltimore community baalei batim Yaakov Berkowitz and Dovid Paige. Leaving behind families, kehillos, and many daily responsibilities, the Rabbanim traveled to Eretz Yisroel to see firsthand and gain a better understanding of the realities, new opportunities, and solutions to successfully deal with the challenges facing families considering Aliyah and settling long-term in Eretz Yisroel. The visit reflects a growing trend in orthodox communities in North America of families exploring the possibility of relocating to Eretz Yisroel. The visit offered the Rabbanim a firsthand, close-up look at the many Anglo-friendly mosdos, communities, support systems, and practical resources available to those considering the move. The mission began in Yerushalayim, where the Rabbanim met with Harav Yitzchok Berkowitz, Shlit"a, and Harav Asher Weiss Shlit"a to discuss the various components that go into moving to Eretz Yisroel and how to best prepare a family for a successful move both beruchniyus uvegashmiyus.

There is a reason this year’s campaign is called Hadran Aloch: All In. Because at TA, chinuch is never halfway. It is the rebbi who keeps explaining until the Gemara becomes clear.

It is a Yeshiva filled with people who are deeply, personally, and completely invested in every child. That is what this year’s campaign video is about. It is not just a video about a school.

As they entered the store, Rabbi Tropp and his family met the owner, an African American woman in her forties who greeted them warmly and professionally. Wanting to verify that the store was indeed kosher certified, they respectfully asked to see the certification. "It's right over here," she said proudly. "We're very happy to be certified. We very much want to accommodate the Jewish community." Curious about her enthusiasm, Rabbi Tropp asked what made the certification so meaningful to her. Her answer surprised them.

We are in the final stretch. This is the moment when every gift matters. A $36 gift becomes $144. A $100 gift becomes $400. A $500 gift becomes $2,000. But more than that, every gift says something powerful: I believe in TA. I believe in its rebbeim. I believe in its talmidim. I am All In. We are close, but we are not done. Please donate now. https://bit.ly/all-inbjl This is the moment when every gift matters. All donations are quadrupled, but only until 11pm tonight! _

Final hours. At 11 PM tonight, Hadran Aloch: All In ends. This is the last chance to have your gift quadrupled. But more importantly, this is the last chance during this campaign to stand up for the boys who fill TA’s classrooms every day. For the talmid learning to love Torah. For the boy building confidence. For the rebbi giving everything he has. For the family sacrificing for chinuch. For the future we are building together. Please do not wait. Go All In now. https://bit.ly/all-inbjl
