Police Throw Stun Grenade, 8-Year Old Girl Injured
Police brutality against Chareidim reached new heights Thursday night in Meah Shearim, with a stun grenade thrown near a mother and her 8-year-old daughter. The daughter was injured in her face. A baby in its carriage was also situated next to the mother but it was not hurt.
Police were attempting to enforce public health laws and remove extremists from a local synagogue but at some point after they were attacked with eggs and other items, they decided to throw stun grenades, one of which was thrown at the place where 8-year-old Zisel Margolies was standing. She was injured in the face and taken to Hadassah hospital for treatment, after which she was released with serious burn marks on her face. Miraculously her eyes were not affected.

Báld Báld - Sruly Altman - Shmiel Hersh Miller - Shira
Sruly Altman is a name that is well known as a singer full of energy, filling up a ballroom with much positivity and joy like no one ever did before. When Sruly teams up with talented Musician Shmiel Hersh Miller and The Shira Choir to bring you new music, you can be sure to experience a top notch musical performance!
"Báld" is a masterpiece that was not released too long ago, but took the world by storm! With much musicality, it contains beautiful chords with a very inspiring message. The song brings out how we are still waiting and yearn for our redemption. Just like a mother makes a promise to her child, and will not disappoint him, so too, Hashem promised to bring an end to our bitter Galus, and take us home, to Yerushalayim very soon! This song gives us that burst of hope and faith we so badly need!

Yehuda Green - Ribono Shel Olam - Single
This prayer is the part of davening on Yomtov in which we open the Aron Kodesh to take out our Holy Torah. As we can not do that physically this year, we're going to need you, Master of the Universe to open the Holy Ark for us.
Master of the Universe, please answer our prayers for good. We need you. May all of those in need of a Refuah be blessed this Yomtov with a speedy Refuah Shelayma and may all of Klal Yisroel be blessed with the final Redemption.
Even though we may not be physically free to be with each other this year, may we all be blessed to be spirituality free to serve G-d with joy this Yomtov and always. B'Shana Habah B'Yirushalayim. Chag Kasher V'samech

My Dear Rebbe - Benny Friedman and Yitzy Waldner
Dear Klal Yisrael,
During these unique and challenging times and especially over Pesach, we realize how much our children gain from our Rabbeim. Please enjoy this music video set to My Dear Rebbe by Benny Friedman and Yitzy Waldner. Chasdei Lev reminds you to always continue appreciating our Rabbeim! It's so difficult to be out of the classroom and we are counting down the days to when we can get back!
