Monday July 1 News Updates Lakewood

 Weather: 82° Sunny to partly cloudy. High 82F

Tucker Carlson: Biden is done. Bet on it. Too many prominent Democrats have suggested he’s brain damaged. They can’t walk that back. They have to remove him, and they will. The only question is when. If they’re smart, they’ll do it immediately. If Kamala’s going to be the nominee, she might as well be the president first. That leaves the question of Trump, and his sentencing on July 11. Biden’s collapse makes this a much more perilous moment than it was. At this point Trump is not just the Republican candidate, but effectively the presumptive president. If you’re going to put him in jail, it had better be for a very serious crime that everyone agrees he committed. Otherwise you risk destroying the system completely and forever. We’re in legitimate danger. Democrats need to pull back.

 Campaign launched  for yeaomim donate Here 

- Keren Olam HaTorah: Organizers say there may be  30% drop of contributions to other yeshivos  and kollelim due to the campaign to raise $107 Million from an article in Mishpacha :
"Isn’t there a concern that a significant share of the foundation’s funds will come at the expense of longstanding donations to specific yeshivos and kollelim? This matter was considered from the outset, with the cutoff being set at a ratio of 70-30: “Rav Moshe Hillel emphasizes to the donors that the donations should not be made at the expense of existing commitments to yeshivos and kollelim,” an organizer told me. “But we calculate that even if only 70% of the funds raised are new money, it will still have been worth it.

"There’s a big difference between the American gvirim whose names we’ve known for years and the new faces,” one person involved in the fundraising effort told me in a call from America this week. “There are some for whom a request from gedolei Yisrael is sacred, and if there’s a statement that this is a time for mesirus nefesh, they’ll bring in millions from wherever they can.
“But there are others for whom philanthropy was until now, to some extent a ‘fad.’ And this is where we discovered, to our surprise, that despite or perhaps precisely because of the vicious attacks against Torah learners in Israel, the Jewish heart in America has opened up, and there’s a genuine desire to help.”
