"The decree of drafting yeshiva bochurim into the army is hanging over the heads of the Bnei Yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel. They have intensified their persecution against those who devote themselves to Torah the pillars of the world—and seek to uproot Torah learning from the Bnei HaYeshivos and Kollelim. They are trying in every possible way to draft them into the army.
"The Bnei Torah in Eretz Yisroel are presently facing a very difficult situation, both b’ruchniyus and b’gashmiyus. The honor of Torah has been brought down to the dust, and we, the Bnei Torah who are moser nefesh for the honor of Torah, how can we remain silent at such a time? Therefore, we are calling upon every kehillah and every community to gather together to daven, to arrange Tehillim minyanim, and to pour out our hearts and plead before Avinu Shebashamayim, until He has mercy upon us and abolishes the gezeirah of drafting from upon the Bnei HaYeshivos.'

- Lakewood township may cut trash removal services from schools and shuls.
Mayor Coles says in an article this weeks Lakewood Shopper, “We have to come up with money to cover the services that we are legally obligated to provide. We also really want to have money for expenses that we aren’t legally obligated to provide, such as the grant we give to the LSTA, but we cannot do that at this time.”
He adds that there are other non-obligated expenses that may have to be cut as well. One example is the township trash removal service provided free of charge to schools and shuls. While the township is not legally obligated to provide this service, they have always done so. This currently costs about $3.5 million a year. If no source of relief is found, this may be cut out of the budget as well

- Update on Gedolim meeting with Trump it is part of an outreach effort to the Jewish community ahead of the midterms.
As of now no gabboim will be allowed inside and the list ofbthe admiring who will attend is not finalized.
The Satmar Rebbe Rav Aaron addressed his talmidim at a tish on Motzaei Shabbos in Kiryas Yoel regarding the invitation he received from the White House to meet with President Donald Trump this Thursday. The Rebbe explained that he initially considered postponing the meeting because it is Elul and preparing for the Yomim Noraim. He emphasized that, in his view, the Torah learning of the talmidim in yeshivah is more important than the political meeting.
Nevertheless, he ultimately decided to accept the invitation after remembering a similar meeting approximately 30 years ago, through which it was possible to help a Yid who was in distress. The Rebbe noted that there are Yidden today who also need assistance, including regarding the issue of the draft of bnei yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel. At the end, the Rebbe asked the bochurim not to focus too much on the meeting, but rather to continue with their seder and remain focused on their Torah learning.
