Tuition Relief Bill Gets Pulled

The "don't call it a voucher bill!" school voucher bill appears dead, at least for now, after its top sponsor  vin Gopal withdrew it Monday. 

Politico reports: Controversial legislation to channel public money to private schools appears dead, at least for now, after its top Senate sponsor withdrew it from consideration.

State Sen. Vin Gopal, a Monmouth County Democrat, withdrew the bill, NJ S3035 (24R), on Monday — a relatively rare move that demonstrates how politically fraught the topic is.

“There were concerns from stakeholders. So out of respect for continued collaboration, I withdrew the bill,” Gopal said in a phone interview. “I believe New Jersey has a strong partnership between public and non-public schools, and I thought this was a conversation worth having. There might be a better way to have this conversation without actually having legislation out there.”

Assemblyman Avi Schnall campaigned on this bill, as many Lakewood voters were told tuition relief is on the way.

UENJ released a statement today that they were advised to pull the bill and will resubmit at a later date

- Four Israeli hostages were rescued alive from Hamas captivity Saturday in a daring daylight operation in the central Gaza Strip, the military announced.

Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, had been abducted from the Supernova music festival near the community of Re’im on the morning of October 7.

Officers of police’s elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, along with Shin Bet agents, simultaneously raided two Hamas-controlled multi-story buildings in the heart of central Gaza’s Nuseirat, a joint statement said. Argamani was rescued at one site, while Meir Jan, Kozlov, and Ziv were at the second location.

Yamam Chief Inspector Arnon Zamora, who commanded the rescue team at the building where three hostages were being held, was critically wounded by Hamas fire. He was brought to an Israeli hospital, but died shortly after. The Hamas guards were killed in the operation 

The rescued hostages, who had been in Hamas captivity for eight months, were all in good condition, according to initial medical assessments. They were taken by helicopters from the Strip to hospitals in Israel for further evaluation.

Reports of 200 Hamas  terrorists killed during the rescue.

-The vehicle in which three of the abductees were being evacuated broke down during the operation due to a technical fault, while it was still in the heart of Nuseirat.  IDF’s 98th Division fought a fierce battle against the Palestinian terrorists who attacked the rescue vehicle, while the hostages and our fighters were inside.

-US denies Gaza aid pier used in hostage rescue raid, but said to have provided intel

- Yom HaMeyuchas - The Second Day of Sivan And Its Special Yichus. No Tachnun is said
The second day of Sivan is called Yom HaMeyuchas.  The Taamei HaMinhagim brings a number of reasons for this.  This is the day that Hashem told Bnei Yisroel "V'Atem Tihiyu Li Mamleches Kohanim", you will be to me a kingdom of Kohanim (Yisro 19:6).  This is the day we received our special Yichus setting us apart from the rest of the nations.

Another explanation he brings is that according to the Yalkut, when the other nations questioned why Bnei Yisroel received the Torah, Hashem told them to bring their Sefer Yuchasim, to see if their pedigree stands up to the level of Bnei Yisroel's whose forefather's included Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov.
Rav Shlomo Kluger says in HaElef Licha Shlomo (also brought in Taamei HaMinhagim) that since this day is between two special days it also is considered special.  The day before is Rosh Chodesh and the day after starts the Shloshes Yimei Hagbala, the final preparation for Kabalas HaTorah.

- In an open letter to the greater Lakewood community R' Yaakov Wenger says he's officially dropping out from running for a seat on the Lakewood township committee.He pointed several instances where the current leadership is not in touch with the l residents and there's no system of involvement or direct communication especially the township committee meetings held on zoom denying a large part of lakewood residents from interacting with the elected officials especially in Lakewood where many don't have online access. he concludes "Having said all this, I have decided against running for Lakewood Township Committee in this year’s election. While I seriously considered this option, I concluded that I am not looking to be involved in a lashon hara spree. I am not interested in taking part in an acrimonious battle, and I definitely do not want to get dragged into months of incivility. While I am very passionate about our hometown and strongly desire to do all I can to rectify the problems and flaws that exist, running against candidates who have held their positions for many years would inevitably have led to an abundance of negativity and hostility, which is why I ultimately chose to stand down".
