| | Agudath Israel to Iran: Protect Jewish Sites and Jewish Lives | | Agudath Israel of America is deeply concerned by reports that the site in Iran traditionally thought to be the tomb of Mordechai and Esther was set aflame last week. Although the Iranian government asserts that it was the action of a rogue arsonist, last February, the Basij militia, part of Iran's Revolutionary Guards – itself part of Iran's military structure – threatened to raze the shrine. Iran has a responsibility to find the perpetrator of this heinous act and bring him to justice, and to protect both its Jewish citizens and Jewish sites. | | Virtual Yarchei Kallah Continues | | The virtual Yarchei Kallah on Inyanei Brochos continues today with a shiur from Rabbi Meir Tzvi Spitzer at 12:00 pm EDT Rov B'ikur V'tafel and a chazarah shiur from Rabbi Shlomo Cynamon at 8:00 pm EDT

While all of us have been effected by this pandemic, parents of children with special needs have been particularly challenged: their child's therapies, schedules and daily routines have been uprooted, causing upheaval and stress. This Thursday, May 21st, at 9:00 PM EDT, noted psychologist Dr. David Pelcovitz will present a unique webinar addressing the concerns of parents of children with special needs. Dr. Pelcovitz will address the unique situation such families face, and will talk about easing the stress on the family. Mrs. Leah Steinberg, director of Project LEARN, explained that, "the complexities of parenting during "shelter in place" is exacerbated for parents attempting to juggle the needs of typically developing children together with those with special needs." She said, as well, that, due to every parent's individual experience, the program will end with an extensive Q&A session. In order to maintain confidentiality, all question will need to be submitted prior to the event. | | Here is a schedule of the different exciting programs that will be going on this week on the MishnaBoyz program.
