- "Each year, at the conclusion of Ne'ilas Hachag on Simchas Torah, the Rebbe would close with the same themes. He would say that the long winter nights ahead should be spent in the toil of Torah study. He would continue, 'We must study with peace of mind, amid a true love for one another and without any jealousy toward one another." The spread of Torah and the spread of ahavas Yisroel. These were the hopes and dreams of the Bluzhever Rebbe. And those who strive to live by his awesome legacy can turn his dreams into a reality." Today marks 32 years since the passing of Rabbi Yisroel Spira, the Bluzhever Rebbe zt'l, member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah.

| | Yesterday, Agudath Israel representatives Rabbi Yeruchim Silber and Rabbi Yehoshua Pinkus joined Governor Kathy Hochul as she announced that the NY State Division of Homeland Security (DHS) is releasing $43 million to yeshivas and other eligible applicants who have been awarded grants under prior year Securing Communities Against Hate Crimes Programs (SCAHC). This program helps nonprofits boost security infrastructure and enhance preparedness against potential hate crime attacks. Awardees will be notified directly by the DHS. Governor Hochul also announced the availability of an additional $25 million to help nonprofit organizations improve the security of their facilities to better protect those at risk of hate crimes or attacks because of their ideology, beliefs, or mission.
Agudath Israel has made the security of our yeshivas and our children a priority. We are grateful to the Governor that many more yeshivas across the state will now be able to implement the security measures they so desperately need, especially during these challenging times. | | New York Voter Registration | | Tomorrow, Friday October 8th is the last chance to register in New York State to vote this November.
