Severe Thunderstorms Watch in NJ
Patch- A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for all 21 New Jersey counties on Wednesday as strong storms packing 60-mph wind gusts are expected. The showers and thunderstorms are forecast to bring periods of heavy rain to New Jersey after 3 p.m. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are expected for some areas, with local amounts of up to 3 to 4 inches possible.
The storm could bring drenching rain that could cause nightmares for commuters. The National Weather Service also issued a severe thunderstorm warning – meaning that the threat is more imminent – to certain parts of South Jersey. Damage to roofs, siding, trees and power lines is possible as the warning alert is expected to move around the state. The NWS also has issued a hazardous

Lang Lawsuit Update
The lawsuit has concluded and a ruling is expected by the end of the year.
A tumultuous week at the Lang Lawsuit Alcantara v. Hespe. a suit brought by Lakewood math teacher and lawyer Mr. Arthur Lang against the state NJDOE for not providing a fair Thorough and Efficient Education with the funding formula to Lakewood schools.
Yated Ne'eman reports last week the state focused on mismanagement by BOE officials found by audits from 2011-2013. Mr Lang argued those audits are no longer relevant, as the mismanagement has been corrected, yet pale in comparison to funding deficiency.
At one point BOE attorney Michael Inzelbuch requested that Judge Susan Scarola presiding over the case recuse herself because statements she made can serve as a basis for appeal. In helping Mr. Lang formulate a question the Judge suggested a comparison between the state funding formula and a ponzi scheme. (interestingly the boe attorney used the very same quote from the judge to hi-lite the very situation Lakewood school district finds itself with receiving loans from the state).
Mr. Lang responded by asking the judge to remain on the case and that the judge has not taken the opinion that the state was comparable to a ponzi scheme, rather she was helping him articulate the claim he was trying to make.
The Lakewood BOE submitted a motion and asked the judge to consider current financial situation of 2019.
NJ attorney General Grubir Grewal responded in a letter the Lakewood Board of Education is a Participant in this matter; it is not a party and repeatedly attempts to revisit its status, by attempting to improperly submit evidence to the Court outside of the hearing and file meritless motions that ultimately detract from the Court's ability to consider the actual case before it.

United Health Care Will cover $2.1 million Zolgensma Drug for young children.
After appeal by families one major insurer has reversed and will now cover the cost for Zolgensma as of mid July, 2019.
Just a few weeks ago Klal Yisrael came together and raised over $2 million dollars for Chana bas Shani a 2 year old girl who was diagnosed with a rare disease of SMA. The miracle drug Zolgensma can reverse the disease but is labeled as the most expensive drug for a single dose at a cost of $2.1 Million. Their insurance company would not cover the drug. In a race against time before the 2 year birthday Klal yisrael responded and the funds were raised and she received the drug B"H..
Other parents of young children with the rare and fatal disease were denied coverage by their insurance companies claiming they plans don't cover gene therapy and that the cost is too expensive. The drug maker justified the cost and said the one-time treatment was half the cost of 10 years of treatment with an existing SMA drug. NBC reports the only way parents can pay for it is through a hail Mary Gofundme site.
After appeal by families one insurer UHC has reversed and will now cover the cost. A spokesperson said that media attention on the families' struggles did not play a role in the decision and that it was based on evidence that the drug works.
UnitedHealthcare Group Inc. has reversed course and will now cover a $2.1 million gene-editing

Pidyon Shvuyim: President Trump Commutes Sentence of father of 5
Read full story in Hamodia.com
“Chasdei Hashem, we are living in an age when we see open miracles,” Apfel told Hamodia. “We are so grateful to President Trump for his great compassion in granting clemency to Boaz and relief to his wife and children. In reuniting this family under these tragic circumstances, the President has performed a true act of chessed, loving-kindness, which every Jew should appreciate and applaud.”
President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Boaz (Ronen) Nahmani, husband to a cancer-stricken wife and father of five young children, who in 2015 was given a maximum 20-year term for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute synthetic marijuana, a sentence decried by many legal experts as wildly disproportionate.

When the 3 Weeks is Longer Than Sefira
The Sefira period from Pesach to Shavuos is seven weeks, the mourning period from 17 Tamuz to Tisha B'av, is known as the "3 weeks". Basic math would say that 7 weeks is longer than 3 weeks. True, but what used to be a time of no chasunas during sefira except for lag baomer has now changed. More weddings are taking place during the 2nd half of sefira after lag Baomer. That makes the longest stretch of the sefira period from Rosh Chodesh less than 3 weeks.
