Trump just one Shabbos:
JNS- Rabbi A.D. Motzen, Agudath Israel of America’s national director of government affairs, said he will be celebrating the national Shabbat, dubbing it “Shabbos 250.” “Shabbos 250 is an opportunity to celebrate the religious liberty we enjoy in this great country and to reflect on the gratitude owed to the United States by each and every one of us,” he stated. “We thank President Trump for recognizing the important role of the Jewish people and Shabbos in the history of the United States.”
Rabbi David Katz, executive director of the Israel Heritage Foundation, thanked the president and called his proclamation “historic,” noting that there was a time in America when Jews who “left work early on Friday to light Shabbos candles, or would not come in on Saturday to honor the Sabbath, often paid dearly.”
“They were told to choose between their paycheck and their faith,” he wrote. “How beautiful, how moving, how deeply healing it is to witness the opposite today.”
Rabbi Steven Burg, CEO of Aish, told JNS that he was “very moved” by the president’s message because it shifts the narrative from Jew-hatred to Jewish faith. “In a social media world, the overwhelming majority of the hate is coming towards the Jews,” he said. “The celebrating of Shabbos and everyone putting down their phones and putting down X, where all this hate lives, is actually really good and really healthy for society.”

- Lakewood committeeman Meir Lichtenstein tells TVOL he opposed the planned ban on left turns along Route 9 and proposed an alternative traffic plan to the Department of Transportation. His proposal would have kept left-turn lanes while adding an extra lane in each direction by narrowing lanes and reducing shoulders instead of widening the road. The state rejected the idea, arguing that shoulders are needed for drainage, bicycle safety, and emergency vehicles. Lichtenstein expressed concern that banning left turns may not improve Route 9 traffic and could instead worsen congestion on nearby roads such as Route 88, South Clifton Avenue, and James Street.
