US debt hurtles past $40 trillion: It’ll take 40 Elon Musks to pay this off. The United States crossed a historic and troubling fiscal threshold sometime Tuesday, with the national debt climbing above $40 trillion for the first time. • Treasury Department figures released today show that total outstanding public debt reached $40.047 trillion yesterday, jumping from $39.987 trillion just one day earlier. Debt held by the public, which excludes certain obligations the government owes to itself, now totals $32.3 trillion, climbing above 100% of the nation’s gross domestic product for the first time since World War II. • The U.S. national debt first crossed $1 trillion on Oct. 22, 1981, just 45 years ago. In 1789, when the republic came into being, it stood at $75 million, all of it inherited from the Revolutionary War. It crossed $1 billion in 1916 and waited 62 years to reach $500 billion. So it took roughly 192 years for the U.S. debt to go from essentially zero to $1 trillion, and then only about 5 years to double to $2 trillion.

Yoeli Landau and Lipa Friedman, according to figures assembled by an Israeli news site, have collectively donated a staggering $73.42 million between the years 2023 and 2026. • Leading the figures is Yoeli Landau, who makes his wealth from a mixture of healthcare, nursing homes and real estate. At the top of his donations is a $10 million contribution toward the new Talmud Torah in Kiryas Yoel, $5 million for the construction of two affordable chasunah halls in Williamsburg, and $5 million to the Marbitzei Torah Fund. In total, Landau donated $44.56 million. • Meanwhile, Lipa Friedman, a realtor and investor, delivered a massive $12 million donation toward the new Talmud Torah in Williamsburg, $5 million toward the new Beis Rochel building, and another $5 million toward a different Talmud Torah. The remainder was directed to additional buildings, chasunah halls, and other Satmar mosdos. In total, Friedman donated $28.86 million.

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”: Jason Arday spent his life weaving a tale of hard work and overcoming extraordinary challenges. He claimed to have written academic articles despite a tough background and ran 30 marathons in 35 days and 300 miles in three days to raise £5 million for charity. His claims led him to be hired as Cambridge University’s youngest black professor. • His edifice of lies came tumbling down last week when he was fired for lying about his feats and plagiarizing his journals. Days afterward, he took his own life. In response, the academic who revealed Arday's lies, Nathan Cofnas, was suspended from his post at a Belgian institute, Ghent University, “for discriminating against Arday.” • Its rector, Petra De Sutter, who doubles as head of the country’s ultra liberal Green Party, said that “academic freedom ... is not unlimited. It goes hand in hand with responsibility and may be restricted in order to protect the rights of others.” She said Arday's death should "prompt reflection ... regarding the way we treat one another both within and outside the academic world.”

Lakewood students hit with massive increase in busing costs: Families whose children live closer than two miles (2.5 miles for high schoolers) are reeling days before the start of the new school year when the quasi-private agency in charge of busing announced a nearly three-fold rise in price, from $385 to $945 per child. • The Lakewood Student Transportation Authority sent out notices today to families of Lakewood students who do not qualify for state-mandated transportation. It blamed cuts made by Gov. Sherill to state municipal aid to the township, forcing the township to eliminate the subsidy that for the past ten years have helped defray busing. • The agency said that the new cost represents a $232 reduction from the full cost of $1,177 a pupil. The cost increase impacts larger families, which must pay the price for each child. Even families who have already paid the lower fee are not exempt. The deadline to sign up for busing is Monday night.

Revealed: Rav Elyashiv’s daughter was first arrestee of giyus banos: A son of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv revealed during the shiva of his sister, Rebbetzin Sarah Yisraelson a”h, that she had been the first girl to be arrested 75 years ago on charges of not registering for the military draft under the Ben Gurion coalition’s attempt to extend the mandatory draft to females. • The story, which has not been known before, was told by Rav Binyamin Elyashiv today when Rav Dovid Cohen, the rosh yeshiva of Chevron, came to be menachem avel. He said that police came to arrest her in middle of the night. Rav Elyashiv was eventually able to secure her freedom by enlisting the aid of his father-in-law, Rav Aryeh Levin, and the chief rabbi, Rav Isaac Herzog, who learned in the same kollel as he. • Ultimately, the Chazon Ish was able to obtain an exemption for girls from religious homes.

Human work bank decreases by 338 words a day: Until recently, we interacted with bankers, grocers, receptionists and countless phone conversations every day. The internet, with its social media, online banking, GPS replacing asking for directions and e-commerce, has robbed us of so many words. How many? 338 fewer every single day, per a study by psychologists published in Perspectives on Psychological Science. • For their ambitious study, conducted across a 15-year span, a team of psychologists analyzed data from thousands of people across Europe and the United States who carried around a tiny device that recorded their speech throughout the day. The average daily number of words each participant spoke in 2005 was 16,632; by 2019, that dropped to 11,900. • This 28% decrease over the period amounts to each of us losing 338 words per day. Each year, we speak around 120,000 words fewer than the previous year. Had they continued their work into the post-Covid years, when people started working from home in greater numbers than before, that number would doubtless have gone down further still. • Will we one day, centuries down the line, eventually phase talking out completely?

Lakewood Schools making moves in response to Gov funding cut: • Two Lakewood schools, a girls school and a yeshiva, sent this out to parents just now, a day after the agency running busing in the township nearly tripled the fee for students who live closer to school. They are advising them to completely opt out of busing, which until now cost $385 but jumped for the coming year to $945. • The quasi-private agency, the Lakewood Student Transportation Association, is run by the township but funded by the state, which this year drastically cut funding for it. • It is unclear how these schools are suggesting kids should get to school.

Anxiety in Lakewood as parents urged to not opt into busing: Talk over what to do with school busing reached a fever pitch in Lakewood this Shabbos as most yeshivas and schools, at the urging of the Igud Hamosdos, encouraged parents not to opt into non-mandated busing. Not registering before the deadline, which is 11 pm this Monday, means students will not have transportation for the entire school year. • The uncertainty began late Thursday when the Lakewood Student Transportation Association, the quasi-private company that runs busing in the township, announced a nearly three-fold increase in costs for the upcoming year, from $385 a child to $945. While children who live farther than two miles (2.5 miles for high schoolers) travel free, those closer may use the buses for a fee, set each year by the LSTA based on state aid. This year, Gov. Sherill cut municipal aid to Lakewood by $8.5 million, necessitating the increase. • The agency said that the new cost represents a $232 reduction from the full cost of $1,177 a pupil. The cost increase impacts larger families, which must pay the price for each child. Even families who have already paid the lower fee are not exempt.
