Boruch Hashem matir assurim. Thank you to the One who releases captives!

It has been 738 days since the terrorist massacre carried out by Hamas on the holiday of Shmini Atzeres / Simchas Torah. Ever since that day, the families of the hostages along with Jews and others worldwide have prayed and pleaded for the release of every last captive. 

Agudath Israel of America rejoices in the return of the hostages released today from the underground dungeons of Gaza as part of the deal orchestrated by President Trump. The torture and trauma to which they were subjected for two horrifying years are beyond description. We celebrate their release, just as we pray that Hashem send them healing, a complete and speedy recovery from the physical and emotional ills they suffered throughout their ordeal.

We express our deep appreciation to President Donald Trump for his leadership and for committing to see this plan through until the end by chairing the "Board of Peace" that will oversee the next stages. 

Jews the world over are in the midst of celebrating Sukkos, which is known as "Zman Simchaseinu," the season of our rejoicing. The return of the hostages at the culmination of the holiday, on the eve of Shmini Atzeres / Simchas Torah adds to our collective joy.

While public mourning is not permitted on the holiday, we all recognize that our joy is tempered by the knowledge that so many of the hostages' families are preparing to bury their loved ones. Our hearts are with them during this difficult time.

While there are several aspects of the deal that will be challenging, we pray to the Almighty, the maker of peace in heaven and earth, that this effort will lead to true peace between Israel and all of its neighbors in the region.

What is happening to this country? Once upon a time if you disagreed with someone you debated them which is something Charlie Kirk did all the time and in public.

The very fact that a public figure has once again been shot apparently because of their views should make us all shudder and have Charlie and his young family in our thoughts.

Maryland CAPE, the coalition representing all of Maryland’s nonpublic schools, expresses our heartbreak over the shocking murder at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN during morning Mass.

[Agudath Israel of America @AgudahNews]

Agudath Israel of America is horrified by the shooting that occurred at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, that killed two children ages 8 and 10 and injured another 17 individuals. 

Our hearts go out the victims and their families.

Every child deserves access to an education that fits their unique needs. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with Agudath Israel about how the Educational Choice for Children Act puts local leaders, students, and families first.

I'm in Israel, and my brother sent this to me early this morning. One of the saddest days I can ever remember. An international day of Jewish mourning:

"It's 2am and I can't sleep.
I am heartbroken.
Not angry at Hamas.
Not upset at the apathy of the world.
Not disappointed at the indifference of the United Nations.
Not even upset at the ineptitude of the Red Cross.
Just profoundly sad.
I did not know this family, yet they are my children.
I've never met them, yet I miss them so much.
I knew in my heart that they must have been dead, but I held out hope.
Hope for them.
Hope for us.
Hope for humanity.
My chest is aching.
I can't sleep.
I can't breathe.
I am replaying an image from my childhood- from Camp Munk. Where the legendary Josh Silbermintz is speaking to us at a campfire. He's telling us that there were those at at Auschwitz that walked into the gas chambers while singing
אני מאמין באמונה שלמה בביאת המשיח, אני מאמין
I'm singing this song in my head….over and over and over.
I'm screaming it out loud.
I can't help thinking, Bibas sounds so much like בביאת.
I sing this song to myself every year on Tisha Bav. I sing this song because it makes me cry- but also gives me strength. R' Josh always said that the Nazis were in a long line that tried to beat us. They didn't win.
He kept reminding us.
He kept reminding me.
The song isn't letting me sleep.
Sing it with me.
אני מאמין באמונה שלמה בביאת "המשיח, אני מאמין
Humbly,
Ellie (Bennett)

@GovLarryHogan we all salute you for your continued exemplary leadership and for showing incredible moral clarity at a time when so many leaders are simply lacking it.

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

This morning, I informed @Harvard that I must withdraw my offer to participate in fellowships this Fall. I cannot condone the dangerous anti-Semitism that has taken root on their campus.

Horrified and outraged by the bloody Hamas rocket fire and terror attack on Israel, with more than 40 people dead and hundreds wounded. America must stand strong with the people of Israel against this vicious terrorism.
