Virtual Meetings with Illinois Senators and Congressmen

In response to the devastating attacks in Israel and the issues related to the ongoing war with Hamas, Agudath Israel of Illinois has been organizing a virtual meeting with our US Senators and Congresspersons. On Monday and Tuesday, AIOI invited a rabbinic and community lay leaders to engage in dialogue over the most pressing issues with Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-08), and Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (D-03). With the goals of thanking those who have been unwavering in their public support, communicating concerns and policy priorities, and sharing perspectives with members of congress, all the meetings were passionate and productive. More meetings are scheduled this week with Senator Dick Durbin, Congressman Mike Quigley, Congressman Darin LaHood, and others.

Kosher-Halal Bill Overrides Veto and Passes in the Senate

Following a gubernatorial veto of the kosher-halal bill advocated for by Agudath Israel of Illinois, AIOI, together with Senator Villivalam and other stakeholders, worked to address the administration's concerns and reintroduce the bill during the legislature's veto session. Senator Villivalam filed a revised bill and it passed the Senate on Wednesday, October 25th. Senate Bill 457 now heads to the House and will hopefully be taken up by the lower chamber next week. Agudath Israel of Illinois would like to thank Chief Senate sponsor Senator Ram Villivalam, as well as cosponsors Senator Sara Feigenholtz, Senator Adriane Johnson, and Senator Rachel Ventura. Rabbi Shlomo Soroka, AIOI's director of government affairs was quoted by the Senate Democrats in their press release: "We are extremely pleased with this agreement that would provide students with meal options that comply with their religious dietary needs. We thank the governor and his team for working in good faith with Agudath Israel, Senator Villivalam, our Muslim partners, and other stakeholders in reaching this milestone."

STC Update

On Tuesday, House Bill 4194 was filed by Representative Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar. Representative Lisa Hernandez and Representative Kelly Burke were also added as chief cosponsors. Leader Burke is chair of the House Revenue and Finance Committee, to which this bill would be assigned, and Leader Hernandez is the chair of the Democratic Party of Illinois (DPI). Over the next week AIOI's hope is to add on a group of cosponsors from multiple sub-caucuses, demonstrating the diversity of supporters of this program. The statewide "Save My Scholarship" campaign is in full throttle as the coalition continues to send mailers, hold rallies (including at the governor's office), facilitate media coverage, purchase digital and radio advertising, and engage in outreach through influential leaders in the state. While there are no guarantees and there remains a steep hill ahead to climb, there is hope. The House and Senate return to Springfield November 7th for the last three days of veto session when this issue will be addressed.

(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת עַל הַשְּׁמִינִית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
 (ב) ה' אַל בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְאַל בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵנִי:
 (ג) חָנֵּנִי ה' כִּי אֻמְלַל אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי ה' כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָי:
 (ד) וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד וְאַתָּה ה' עַד מָתָי:
 (ה) שׁוּבָה ה' חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ:
 (ו) כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יוֹדֶה לָּךְ:
 (ז) יָגַעְתִּי בְּאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכָל לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶה:
(ח) עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכָל צוֹרְרָי:
 (ט) סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּי שָׁמַע ה' קוֹל בִּכְיִי:
 (י) שָׁמַע ה' תְּחִנָּתִי ה' תְּפִלָּתִי יִקָּח:
 (יא) יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כָּל אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָגַע:

1) For the musician, with musical accompaniment on the sheminis instrument, a mizmor by David. (2) Hashem, don't rebuke me in Your anger. Don't chastise me in Your rage. (3) Grant me Your mercy, Hashem, for I have been cut down. (4) Heal me, Hashem, for my bones shake with terror. My soul is utterly terrified, and You Hashem — How long? (5) Turn back, Hashem, release my soul. Save me as befits Your kindness ... (6) for there is no mention of You in death. In the grave who will thank You? (7) I am exhausted from groaning; every night my bed is drenched; with my tears I soil the place where I have lain.  (8) My eye is dimmed from anger, aged by all my tormentors. (9) Depart from me all wrongdoers, for Hashem has heard the sound of my weeping. (10) Hashem has heard my plea; Hashem will accept my prayer. (11) They will be ashamed and will be utterly astounded. When all my enemies return, they will be ashamed for a while.
 פרק 20/כ         
(א) לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
 (ב) יַעַנְךָ ה' בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם אֱלֹקֵי יַעֲקֹב:
 (ג) יִשְׁלַח עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶךָּ:
 (ד) יִזְכֹּר כָּל מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶלָה:
 (ה) יִתֶּן לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְכָל עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא:
 (ו) נְרַנְּנָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵׁם אֱלֹקֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל, יְמַלֵּא ה' כָּל מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶיךָ:
(ז) עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ ה' מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ:
 (ח) אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר:
 (ט) הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָד:
  (י) ה' הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ: 

(1) For the musician, a mizmor by David. (2) May Hashem answer you on the day of distress. May the Name of Yaakov's G-d protect you. (3) May He send your help from the Mikdash; may He support you from Tzion. (4) May He give consideration to all your minchah-offerings. May He accept your olah-offerings, Selah. (5) May He grant you according to your heart. May He fulfill your every plan. (6) We will sing joyously because of your deliverance, and we will gather around banners in the Name of our G-d. May Hashem fulfill all your requests.  (7) Now I know that Hashem continues to save His anointed one. He will continue to answer from His holy heaven, with the mighty victories of His right hand. (8) Some [depend] on chariots, and some on horses. We call out the Name of Hashem, our G-d. (9) They slumped and fell, but we stood up and were empowered. (10) Hashem save! May the King answer us on the day we call.
 
Psalms Chapter 130 תְּהִלִּים
א  שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת:
מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ    יְהוָה.
      1 A Song of Ascents. 
       Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.
ב  אֲדֹנָי,    שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי:
  תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ, קַשֻּׁבוֹת--    לְקוֹל, תַּחֲנוּנָי.
      2 Lord, hearken unto my voice; 
       let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
ג  אִם-עֲוֺנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר-יָהּ--    אֲדֹנָי, מִי יַעֲמֹד.
       3 If Thou, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
ד  כִּי-עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה--    לְמַעַן, תִּוָּרֵא.
        4 For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou may be feared.
ה  קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה, קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי;    וְלִדְבָרוֹ הוֹחָלְתִּי.
        5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in His word do I hope.
ו   נַפְשִׁי לַאדֹנָי--    מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר, שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר.
        6 My soul waits for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more  than watchmen for the morning.
  ז  יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-יְהוָה:    כִּי-עִם-יְהוָה הַחֶסֶד; וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ   פְדוּת.
        7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD           there is mercy, and with Him  is plenteous redemption.
ח  וְהוּא, יִפְדֶּה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל--    מִכֹּל, עֲוֺנֹתָיו.
        8 And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.



              Psalms Chapter 121 תְּהִלִּים
א  שִׁיר, לַמַּעֲלוֹת:
אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי, אֶל-הֶהָרִים--    מֵאַיִן, יָבֹא עֶזְרִי.
      1 A Song of Ascents. 
I      will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?
ב  עֶזְרִי, מֵעִם יְהוָה--    עֹשֵׂה, שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
       2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
ג  אַל-יִתֵּן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֶךָ;    אַל-יָנוּם, שֹׁמְרֶךָ.
       3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keeps thee will not slumber.
ד  הִנֵּה לֹא-יָנוּם, וְלֹא יִישָׁן--    שׁוֹמֵר, יִשְׂרָאֵל.
       4 Behold, He that keeps Israel does neither slumber nor sleep.
ה  יְהוָה שֹׁמְרֶךָ;    יְהוָה צִלְּךָ, עַל-יַד יְמִינֶךָ.
       5 The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
ו  יוֹמָם, הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לֹא-יַכֶּכָּה;    וְיָרֵחַ בַּלָּיְלָה.
       6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
ז  יְהוָה, יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל-רָע:    יִשְׁמֹר, אֶת-נַפְשֶׁךָ.
       7 The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.
ח  יְהוָה, יִשְׁמָר-צֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֶךָ--    מֵעַתָּה, וְעַד-עוֹלָם.
        8 The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and forever

Psalms - Chapter 142 תְּהִלִּים

1A maskil of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer. אמַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּֽהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה:
2[With] my voice, I cry out to the Lord; [with] my voice, I supplicate the Lord. בקוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֜וֹלִ֗י אֶל־יְ֘הֹוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן:
3I pour out before Him my speech; my distress I recite before Him. גאֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָֽ֜רָתִ֗י לְפָ֘נָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד:
4When my spirit enwraps itself upon me, and You know my path. In whichever way I go, they have hidden a snare for me. דבְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֜י | רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֘ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְתִֽיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָֽמְנ֖וּ פַ֥ח לִֽי:
5Looking to the right, I see that no one recognizes me; escape is lost from me; no one seeks my soul. ההַבֵּ֚יט יָמִ֨ין | וּרְאֵה֘ וְאֵין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי:
6I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, "You are my refuge, my lot in the land of the living." וזָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְהֹ֫וָ֥ה אָ֖מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִּ֑י חֶ֜לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים:
7Hearken to my cry for I have become very low; save me from my pursuers for they have overpowered me. זהַקְשִׁ֚יבָה | אֶל־רִנָּתִי֘ כִּֽי־דַלּ֪וֹתִי מְ֫אֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹֽדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָֽמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי:
8Take my soul out of confinement to give thanks to Your name; because of me the righteous will crown You, because You will recompense me. חה֘וֹצִ֚יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר | נַפְשִׁי֘ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֖י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי:
