 ויעש כן אהרון אל מול פני המנורה העלה נרותיה כאשר ציוה ה' את משה". אומר על זה רש"י "להגיד שבחו של אהרון שלא שינה". שואל על זה רבי מאיר מפרימישלאן: מה כל כך מדהים בזה שאהרון שלא שינה? וכי מישהו ציפה שאהרון יקבל הוראות לעשות בצורה מסוימת ויעשה את ההדלקה אחרת? הלא ברור שאהרון הצדיק יעשה כמו שה' ציווה! אלא, שגם לאחר שקיבל אהרון את הכבוד ונכנס לתוך המשכן לעשות את עבודת ה', הוא עדיין המשיך להיות אותו אהרון שהיה קרוב לציבור,שהיה איכפתי לצרכי העם ושהקדיש את זמנו לעשיית שלום ועשיית טוב, בלי לתפוס מעצמו. להגיד שבחו של אהרון שלא שינה את עצמו, למרות הדרגה הגדולה הגיע אליה.

Governor Murphy signs bill to reinstate ObamaCare individual mandate

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) on Wednesday signed a bill into law that will reinstate the Obamacare individual mandate as the state attempts to stabilize its health care markets The Hill reports.

The bill implements a statewide fee for New Jersey residents who don't obtain health insurance through their job, Medicaid, or another source, NJ.com reports. The plan is similar to a provision of the Affordable Care Act that was repealed by the GOP tax law last year. New Jersey Democrats sent the bill to Murphy's office last month, making the state the first to reinstate the individual mandate after the Republican repeal of the federal provision.

הגרמ"ד שליט"א: ר' משה תהפכו את העולם, תרעישו את העולם. תדברו עם ר' מלכיאל ועם הראשי ישיבות שם מדוע הם שותקים. ואני מבקש שבדרשה שלכם בליקווד לא תאמרו רק פלפולי תורה. תאמרו להם גם שיש גזירת שמד, תשאלו אותם מדוע אתם שותקים?  

הראב"ד שליט"א: שמע ישראל, יש לו שני פירושים, ביאור אחד, לשמוע, ועוד ביאור לקבל, הם צריכים לא רק לשמוע אלא גם לקבל.

הגרמ"ד שליט"א: אסור לשתוק. אנחנו חיים בגלות מרה מאוד, בגלות של יהודים.

Card Cash Company Creates Giant American Flag from Used Gift Cards for Memorial Day

In honor of Memorial Day, CardCash, based in Lakewood the largest gift card exchange in the world, put their used gift cards to work in a giant American Flag made completely out of gift cards. The cards are arranged in a collage format and form the flag using the actual gift card designs and colors. See Video below

CardCash’s employees worked for a week on the flag, sorting through their massive stockpile of used gift cards for red white and blue cards. “The biggest challenge has definitely been finding the right cards for this project within our extensive card collection,” said Steven Weldler, VP of Marketing for CardCash. “However, this has been one of

Bill to outlaw Underage Marriage Pulled at Last Minute, Due to Religious Objection

Sefardim and Chasidim could breath a sigh of relief, for now.
A last-minute religious objection derailed the final passage of a bill Thursday that would have outlawed teenagers under 18 from getting married in New Jersey 
See HERE The bill was passed recently by the NJ Judiciary committee 

NJ.com reports State Assemblyman Gary Schaer, D-Passaic, told NJ Advance Media he had been approached by members of the orthodox Jewish community requesting the legislation allow for religious exceptions. Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, D-Middlesex, agreed to pull the bill from the voting session's agenda at Schaer's request, scuttling the bipartisan measure's almost-certain passage. 

The bill passed both houses of the Legislature in 2017, only to be conditionally vetoed by then-Gov. Chris Christie, citing the same concerns Schaer raised Thursday. Christie, a Republican, said he would sign the bill if it were rewritten to give a judge discretion to approve a marriage license for a 16 or 17 years old.
If the bill is signed into law, New Jersey would be the first state to remove all exemptions permitting child marriages.
