Rabbi Zvi Teichman on on Rosh Hashana - To Dream the Possible Dream Traditionally, among Ashkenazi Jewry we spend a week or more of reciting Selichos in preparation of Rosh Hashana. Our Sephardic brethren have been at it since the beginning of Elul. This collection of verses from TaNaCh, various prayers, and piyyutim are called סליחות — literally translated as 'forgiveness' in the plural. It would seem to imply that we are begging repeatedly for forgiveness for our failings to live up to G-d's expectations.

Agudath Israel Asks Supreme Court to Protect the Right to Religious Gatherings in the Home Wednesday September 9, Agudath Israel of America filed an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief in the Supreme Court of the United States in Grand v. City of University Heights, a case involving the right to hold religious gatherings in the home. The case centers on Daniel Grand, a man who sought to organize an at-home minyan (a Jewish prayer gathering requiring a quorum of ten men) on the Jewish Sabbath. Because observant Jews cannot drive or use electronics on the Sabbath, the city’s alleged concerns regarding traffic and noise were entirely negated. Nonetheless, University Heights treated the gathering as “a home operating as a house of worship” and required Mr. Grand to obtain a special use permit, while also encouraging neighbors to report gatherings and deploying police surveillance of the home. Mr. Grand sued the City in federal court. Ultimately the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to reach the merits of his religious-liberty claims, ruling instead that they were not yet ripe because the local zoning board had not yet made a final determination as to whether the permit requirement applied to his gatherings.

‘It’s time to go home’: After 57 years in America, a Holocaust survivor comes home to Israel (JPost) DIASPORA AFFAIRS: From fleeing Nazi persecution as a baby to building a life in the US, Morton Pancer’s journey has brought him to Israel at age 86. Morton Pancer, 86, and his wife, Carole, 82, spent 57 years of marriage building a life together in Maryland. This week, after decades in the United States, they decided it was finally time to move home to Israel. On August 25, the couple arrived on an El Al flight and officially made aliyah with Nefesh B’Nefesh, moving to Israel to be closer to their family and begin a new chapter of their lives. One of their daughters, Jessica Gertel, made aliyah with her family in the early 2000s, while another, Shoshana Lerner, made aliyah this year with her family, giving them even more incentive to join them in the Jewish state.

Two Maryland LIAT Fellows Making a Difference on Campus The back-to-school season is usually an exciting time for students. But for college-bound Jewish students navigating increased antisemitism, this time can be confusing and stressful. Two Maryland students are refusing to give in to fear. At the University of Maryland, rising seniors Lucy Schneider and Gabriel (Gabi) Stern have chosen proactive advocacy over retreat. Lucy and Gabi are LIAT (Leaders in Advocacy Training) fellows at the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center (OUA), the federal advocacy arm of the Orthodox Union. The LIAT Fellowship was created after October 7 with the goal of fostering the next generation of Jewish political leaders. The fellowship selects Jewish students who are passionate about Jewish advocacy, and provides them with resources, mentorship, training, and a week-long immersive experience in Washington, D.C. to burnish their skills and broaden their networks.

The LEV Experience: Moments That Define a New Year Greater Washington - September 16,2026 - It is hard to capture emotion and inspiration in words. Writing about a feeling is a little like trying to describe a taste, you can explain it, but somehow the description always falls short of the experience itself. Trying to capture the inspiration of the LEV Experience is much the same. To truly understand it, you need to participate in person. Still, if I may, I would like to open a small window into the inspiration and power of spending Rosh Hashanah with the LEV Experience in Rockville, Maryland. The program is designed as a unique hybrid, combining traditional tefillah with opportunities for people at every level of Jewish knowledge and observance to participate, learn, and grow. There is beautiful davening and singing, capturing the timeless minhagim and melodies of the Yamim Noraim. Alongside that are explanatory services, inspirational lectures, meaningful discussions, and perhaps most importantly, an overwhelming sense of warmth and family.

A Legacy of Unity and Torah: Ahead of First Yahrzeit, a Gathering at OU Headquarters to Honor Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l Rabbis, Jewish and community leaders, friends, OU board and staff members, and family gathered on Tuesday, September 15th in New York to honor the memory of Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l, former executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, as his first yahrzeit approaches. Many others joined the event, organized by the OU, via livestream . Rabbi Hauer, who had served as EVP at the OU since 2020, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 60 over Shemini Atzeret last year. His passing came just hours after the remaining living 20 Israeli hostages, taken on Oct. 7, 2023, were returned from Gaza. Keeping the plight of the hostages in the public eye was just one aspect of the public advocacy work Rabbi Hauer engaged in on behalf of the OU and the Jewish community, as he sought to bring Torah values to the world and increase unity among Jews.

Students at Lev HaTorah Academy participated in Kapparos this week, providing them with a meaningful and memorable experience as Yom Kippur approaches.

More than simply experiencing Kapparos, the students were able to connect what they have been learning in the classroom with the preparations for the Yamim Noraim. The experience was filled with learning and excitement, creating a beautiful chinuch opportunity and another memorable way for Lev HaTorah Academy students to prepare for Yom Kippur.
