Oh Oh!!! New Poll Shows Democrats Holding Largest Midterm Lead Since 2017

 

A new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll shows Democrats with a commanding advantage heading into the 2026 midterm cycle, with 55% of voters saying they would choose a Democrat for Congress if elections were held today, compared to 41% who would vote Republican.

The 14-point spread is the party’s strongest showing since November 2017. In the 2018 midterms that followed, Democrats flipped more than 40 House seats during President Trump’s first term.

The latest numbers highlight growing voter frustration with the GOP amid recent political turbulence, signaling potential headwinds for Republicans as they approach a critical election year.

Democrats also hold a decisive lead among independents. According to the poll, 61% of independents would vote for a Democrat, while just 28% would choose a Republican — a +33 advantage.

With control of both chambers up for grabs in 2026, the survey suggests Democrats head into the cycle in a strong position.

Rav Chatzkel Abramsky zt”l on Eretz Yisroel ...A Must Read!

 

Translated by Rabbi Yair Hoffman [and part of a larger work in the process of completion]

Recently, one of my sons was explaining to a sister that her car desperately needed a re-alignment. In light of a certain book that has been circulating among some of our fine Torah institutions, the same term can be applied to some of our Yeshiva students.  The best way to do this is to present things in the words of Rav Chatzel Abramsky zatzal – a talmid of Rav Chaim Brisker zatzal and a world reknowned Gadol HaDor.  

THE LAND OF ISRAEL: THE ETERNAL INHERITANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE

INTRODUCTION

The Covenant of the Land

“And I will remember My covenant with Yaakov, and also My covenant with Yitzchak, and also My covenant with Avraham will I remember, and the land I will remember” (Vayikra 26:42). The Sifra asks a profound question on this verse: From where do we know that a covenant was established for the land itself? The answer comes from the very words of the text—”and the land I will remember.” Just as Hashem made covenants with our forefathers, so too He made a covenant with the Land itself.

The Purpose of This Work

This book, Eretz Yisrael—The Inheritance of Am Yisrael, has one overarching purpose composed of three essential components. It seeks to clarify and establish beyond doubt the three foundational pillars upon which rests the eternal right of the Children of Israel to settle their ancestral homeland. These three foundations are not mere historical claims or political arguments—they are divine truths that have sustained our people through millennia of exile and will guide us through the final redemption.

First something important from Emeilim Ba'Torah

CHILLUL HASHEM OVERIDES CHILLUL SHABBOS באונס The שו"ת מלמד להועיל was asked whether one should seek to evade the draft to the (German) army, knowing that once drafted, he would be forced to be מחלל שבת. He responded that avoiding the draft would itself lead to a חילול השם, as the antisemites would accuse the Jews of not abiding by the laws of the land. Therefore, one should not be concerned about the future possibility of being מחלל שבת באונס. Furthermore, he adds that if by joining the army he will be in a position to save Jewish lives, he need not wait to be drafted, but may even volunteer. ר' דוד צבי הופמן זצ"ל מלבד היותו מורה, חוקר מקרא, וחוקר ספרות חז"ל, היה רד"צ הופמן פוסק הלכה. בעשרות שנותיו האחרונות היה לפוסק ההלכה הראשי של יהדות גרמניה האורתודוקסית, בפרט בקהילות צפון גרמניה. בין היתר נזקק לענות תשובות לשאלות הלכתיות שעלו בעקבות ההתקדמות הטכנולוגית המודרנית, כדוגמת נסיעה ברכבת שעלולה להמשך אל תוך השבת, והדלקת נורת להט חשמלית בשבת.[3] כפוסק, נאלץ להתמודד גם עם שאלת היחס ההלכתי למחללי שבת, לאור העובדה ששומרי המצוות הפכו להיות מיעוט בין יהודי גרמניה.[4] מאות מתשובותיו לשואלים, פורסמו בספרו "שו"ת מלמד להועיל" שיצא לאור בפרנקפורט בשנת תרפ"ו (1926), כשש שנים לאחר פטירתו. בספר מופיעות תשובות בחלקי אורח חיים, יורה דעה, ואבן העזר משולחן ערוך.

Bezalel (Salik) Katz, 101, held his first public art exhibition in Jerusalem.

 Holocaust survivor and lifelong painter Bezalel (Salik) Katz, 101, held his first public art exhibition in Jerusalem.

 Katz, who survived the Eastern Front and lost his entire family in the Holocaust, created thousands of paintings over decades, most never shown. 

Now at Neve Horim nursing home, his long-held dream came true through Ezer Mizion’s “A Wish for a Survivor” project and the Ministry of Welfare, with his works displayed in the “Flying in Time” exhibit at the Harmony Center.

Oct 7 War Driving Young Israelis Closer to Tradition and Faith

 A new study reported by Arutz 7 shows the war is driving many Israelis, especially young Jews, closer to tradition and faith. 

The JPPI survey found one-third of Jewish youth are more observant since the conflict began, with increases in prayer, Torah study, synagogue attendance, and Shabbat candle lighting. 

Faith is rising too, with over a quarter of Jews reporting stronger belief in God and nearly half noticing the same among family and friends.
