The Big Supreme Court Decision and How It Can Effect Any Frum Jew

In the 1920's it was common for someone to lose their job if they didn't show up to work on Saturday.


"But I keep Shabbos."


"That's not our problem."


And they were fired.


It's wild that in 2023, while we aren't dealing with the same exact issue, we are still dealing with so many challenges to living as a frum Jew in America.


The Supreme Court just made a very big decision for a Christian employee that will impact Orthodox Jews in the work place.


In the latest episode of the Agudah Live podcast, Rabbi Avi Schnall and Rabbi Shai Markowitz spoke to Eric R. Stern, Esq., to unpack the ramifications of the decision.

Making a Simcha a Real Celebration: Yahalom's Bar and Bas Mitzvah Guide for Children with Special Needs, continued....


Mazel Tov – it's a simcha! While in many homes, the phrase "Bar Mitzvah" sparks the joys of planning a beautiful coming-of-age celebration for a child, for some parents, those words unleash a torrent of stress – what if a boy can't halachically put on tefillin? How can parents host a Bas Mitzvah party when their daughter can't stand crowds? What will be with a nonverbal child's traditional speech or pshetl? 


Yahalom, Agudath Israel's division that provides resources for families of children with special needs, is proud to release a guide for parents preparing for their child's Bar or Bas Mitzvah. 


Planning any simcha can be stressful, and trying to balance the expectation of a public event with the needs of a particular child makes the organizing more complex. Yahalom's guide addresses parents' possible concerns regarding their child's sensitives and preferences and brings practical advice for planning a simcha that they and their child will both enjoy. With discussions about photography, scheduling, and other simcha-related topics, the document walks parents through the planning, preparation, and presentation of the event, providing them with useful tips to make their child's milestone into a special day for everyone.
