Baltimore, MD - Oct. 20, 2025 - At the end of the Chumash, we read of Moshe Rabbeinu’s heartfelt plea to be allowed into Eretz Yisroel. Hashem, in His boundless wisdom, responds, “Do not ask Me again.” Chazal teach us that, had Moshe asked once more, Hashem would have granted his request. But the time was not right. Klal Yisroel was not yet ready, and so Hashem took Moshe's soul instead of allowing him to enter the Land.
In our times, we were privileged to have Rabbi Hauer, ZTV"L — a leader of immense vision, passion, and devotion — who stood at the forefront of Klal Yisroel. He inspired, guided, and unified us with clarity and unwavering commitment to Torah and truth. Under his leadership, it felt as though we were standing at the threshold of Geulah &m...

Parshas Bereishis 5786
At the outset, I want to say thank you to everyone here. Thank you for coming together on this most difficult but meaningful Shabbos, for coming to be with each other and to remember Rabbi Hauer. Thank you for your encouragement to me, for your care and support for the Hauer family. And thank you to the many, many people who have worked so hard in these last few days. On Motzaei Yom Tov, I was completely occupied with arranging logistics and planning with the family. But when I came to shul at 6:00 AM the next morning, the whole shul had been set up: there were chairs from front to back, there were speakers in the lobby and outside, there was a team of ushers ready to go, there were shifts of people who did shemirah in the funeral home. I had nothing to do with any ...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 5, 2025 - Mizmor L’Dovid – Help Finish His Sefer Torah
Dovid Steingroot saved for a Sefer Torah - now we can complete it his memory
Reb Dovid — oh, how we miss you.
Your warmth, your sincerity, your constant growth in Torah and avodas Hashem — they left an indelible mark on everyone who knew you. You were a true example of someone who lived with purpose, always striving to fulfill your mission in this world.
Hashem, in His infinite wisdom, decided your mission was complete. Though it’s hard to accept, we know you accomplished more in your years than many do in a lifetime.
One of your dreams was to fulfill the words, “וְעַתָּה כִּתְבוּ לָכֶם אֶת־הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת” — &ld...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 16, 2025 - On Shemini Atzeres night, my wife and I were blessed with a newborn son. Little did I realize that on that same night, my Rebbi – one of the most impactful people in my life – would be taken from us without warning. I am in complete shock and cannot find the words at this moment to eulogize him in any way. But in truth, I don’t know if I ever will. Rabbi Hauer’s influence on me runs much deeper than words. As I sit here at my desk at 1:00 am with my shirt torn, the few words of eulogy - which we read just this morning - written by Hashem Himself over the death of his most trusted servant, Moshe - will have to suffice: וימת משה עבד ה'.Moshe Rabbeinu’s life was summed up in those two words, Eved Hashem. ...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 20, 2025 - Recent incidents of car thefts in Baltimore parking garages have left victims frustrated and calling for increased security measures.
Surveillance footage from a West Lombard Street garage captured three separate instances of cars being stolen.
Kellie described the thieves as "driving underneath the security arm bar" and leaving quickly.
James, whose Honda was stolen from the same garage, added, "Kids came in with mask and hoods on and they left within three minutes."
Baltimore police reported that seven vehicles have been stolen from that garage so far this year.
"The fact that this was the second confirmed and reported car in under a week from the same garage, indicates to me there’s a larger issue," Kellie said.
According to data from BP...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 19, 2025 - These past few days have been a fog to so many of us — so much so that, as I sit here writing this, I can’t believe that I didn’t have the presence of mind to get on a plane to get to the kevurah. But obviously, Hashem didn’t put the thought into my mind until it was too late.
As the fog begins to lift, as it inevitably must, memories and stories flood in. Reb Moshe, ZT”L, was a friend for so long. We were about the same age, and several of his classmates in Yeshiva Gedolah of Montreal were my close friends in Camp Munk. Our friendship blossomed here in Baltimore. However, as many of his friends will attest, he quickly passed us in so many ways. The amazing part is that he did that without ever giving us the feeling that he was...
After each Yom Tov, I hand out a reflection sheet to my sixth-grade class at Yeshiva K’tana of Waterbury. It’s a simple exercise, a way for the boys to stop, think, and capture something real from their Yom Tov before it slips away.The questions are light. “What inspired you?” “What was your favorite moment?”After Sukkos this year, I gave out the usual list and collected the papers a few minutes later.The answers were exactly what you’d expect from eleven-year-old boys.“Playing with my cousins.” “Eating in the sukkah.” “Going to Six Flags.”And then I saw it.Under “What was your favorite memory from Sukkos?” one boy, Yehuda, had written:“Seeing the hostages come home.”I stopped re...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 19, 2025 - Although I did not know Rabbi Hauer well, I would like to describe the subtle way in which he had an impact on me, as a young child. This took place over thirty years ago when he was the assistant rabbi to his father-in-law Rabbi Joseph Baumgarten z”l. At the time, Rabbi Hauer gave a Gemara shiur on Meseches Brachos to few congregants, including my father. The shiur’s location rotated between the houses of the various members of the shiur. At the time, I was five or six years old, and had my own bedroom on the second floor of our house. As a young child, being alone in the dark bedroom was a bit lonely and scary. I remember looking forward to the night when the shiur would be given at our house. It was so comforting to fall asleep to sound ...
