Lemmer approached the Department of City Development about buying the property because she owns a vacant lot east of the commercial building Lemmer plans to eventually develop that parcel Cafe will have a community focusThe café will feature a community focus providing a place for people to come together Lemmer plans to host events that include coffee tastings The café would be about two blocks west of a city-owned outdoor skate park planned for 507 W Lemmer said her development amounts to "a good starter project" for her first move into commercial real estate And it comes after years of investing in residential real estate Her interest in real estate has its roots in family car rides on Lake Drive "I was always fascinated by architecture," she said learned about construction trades at Bradley Technology and Trade School She was a student at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse when she became pregnant with her first child and transferred to UW-Milwaukee to be closer to her family Lemmer and her partner bought the Bay View duplex after their rental applications were rejected "We decided if no one was going to rent to us," she said The couple's knowledge of construction trades proved valuable when they put a lot of work into updating the duplex − a project helped by family members the couple bought their second residential rental property in the Wilson Park neighborhood Meanwhile, Lemmer in 2024 enrolled in Associates in Commercial Real Estate. The Milwaukee program trains people of color for careers in real estate development the 26-week program provides classroom instruction and networking with peers and industry professionals "That was an amazing opportunity," said Lemmer Lemmer was an exceptional student in last year's ACRE program director of Vieth Institute for Real Estate Leadership at Marquette University − which helps operate ACRE Hunt said Lemmer's development proposal is a good application of ACRE's lessons to the real world "This is exactly what she was trained for," Hunt said who has four children ages 7 months through 12 years old is taking a more purposeful approach to real estate "I'm a big believer that anything which can impact my children deserves my commitment," she said And commercial development can play a big role in improving neighborhoods The Sixth Street development could set the stage for other projects Lemmer wants to bring to neglected Milwaukee neighborhoods "There's tons of (potential sites) throughout the city."

The tour, which was produced by S.I.N.G. Entertainment and directed by Chaim Zippel, began in Chicago, Illinois where Shulem shared the stage with Rabbi Manis Friedman for a beautiful evening marking 30 years since the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. With little rest in between, the tour rolled on the very next day, onto Toronto, Canada with a packed theatre ready to be uplifted and inspired by a special selection of niggunim to be performed by Shulem, and a fascinating talk by Ambassador David Friedman. Stop #3 was in Stamford, Connecticut before heading across the country to Sacramento, California, and right back to the east coast for a show in Fairfax, Virginia to headline shows honoring the Rebbe’s 30th yahrtzeit. The tour the continued in the picturesque mountains of Park City, Utah where Shulem headlined a sold-out evening of music and solidarity for Israel. Without a dry eye in the crowd, the audience got to hear first-hand from the mother of hostage Ori Danino, and enjoyed soul-stirring song dedications and tefilos from Shulem. The tour wrapped up the next night in Montreal, Canada with a sold-out crowd coming from far and near to enjoy a lively and spirited kumzitz.

The video also featured scenes of him surrounded by photos of the hostages as he performs when we're focused on not drowning in the hurricane of hatred and antisemitism our personal feelings often take a backseat our hearts and minds have been solely focused on our land and people," he explains as it conveyed so much of what we've struggled to express in recent months The original 'October Rain' was deemed "too political" for the world stage leading to the release of a more neutral version "I am sharing "October Rain" in its raw authentic form to voice our nation's true sentiments," he declares "May the floods dry up with the warm sunshine of the Messiah's arrival!" staffing issues led to center’s shuttering ROCHESTER – Parents will lose up to 160 child care spaces at the end of the month when the YMCA of Rochester shuts down its Early Childhood Learning Center YMCA officials confirmed Friday the center will cease operations on Aug Community Director Kristina Lemmer said the YMCA’s decision came down to slow enrollment growth increasing operation costs and staffing shortages It opened in 2019 in a former charter school on Valleyhigh Drive NW The center is closing at a difficult time for Rochester which has sought to increase child care access as the city heads into an expected population boom thanks to Mayo Clinic’s $5 billion downtown expansion A 2021 Center for Rural Policy and Development study showed that greater Minnesota lost more than 20,000 child care slots over the past two decades Officials estimate the Rochester area is short by about 1,000 spaces “The entire community is short on supply and when you’re in full employment like we are now it’s really hard to recruit folks to go into the business,” said Jon Losness executive director of Families First of Minnesota Losness pointed to low wages among child care workers along with rising child care costs for parents This is the second major building closing for the YMCA of Rochester, which shuttered its recreation center at the start of 2022. That property was sold to developer Enclave which tore down the former Y earlier this year as part of an apartment project to build a seven-story complex over the next year YMCA officials have maintained numerous community programs since the local center closed including a summer day camp for children at Oxbow Park a leadership program for middle schoolers at Rochester Public Schools and ongoing fitness programs at the University of Minnesota-Rochester Lemmer said the YMCA plans to expand its offerings including a neighborhood center program for youth after school at Harvestview Place apartments this fall that will offer homework help we’re willing to help offer and facilitate that service,” Lemmer said Trey Mewes is a reporter based in Rochester for the Star Tribune.

Full Story Beth Rivkah Academy of Montreal held its second annual BBQ and Kumzitz featuring Jewish music sensation Shulem Lemmer The event was graciously hosted by Rabbi Yitzchak and Mrs Julie Gniwisch at their property on Trout Lake Over 300 men and women from across the spectrum of Montreal’s Lubavitch Yeshivish and Sefardi communities came together Be’achdus to support Beth Rivkah enjoy an extravagant spread prepared by Chef Ari Raskin and be inspired by an open-air concert that lasted well into the night—culminating in dancing (and cholent) The evening was emceed by the always entertaining and inspiring Rabbi Nochum Greenwald Beth Rivkah board member Eli Cohen and philanthropist Jordan Flinker shared words of inspiration who is celebrating his fiftieth year as principal of Beis Rivkah also shared Divrei Hisorerus about the auspicious Yom Tov of 12-13 Tamuz The event was organized by Beth Rivkah board members Levi Treitel and Srolic Neuwirth All had an uplifting time, with the common aim of supporting girls’ Chinuch. Donations to Beth Rivkah Montreal can be made at here To the organizers Srolik Nuewirth and Levi Trietel it looks so amazing kol hakavod Srolik Newirth and everyone You put in so much with so much care and devotion May Hashem bench you with lots of nachas and much health and happiness May BRM continue to grow m’choyil el choyil Results for {phrase} ({results_count} of {results_count_total}) Displaying {results_count} results of {results_count_total} we therefore suggest strengthening the ex ante fundamental rights review of EU legislation each presenting varying degrees of feasibility and effectiveness the toolbox currently only provides general guidelines without offering right-specific instructions they are only required for Commission initiatives “likely to have significant economic environmental or social impacts or that entail significant spending and where the Commission has a choice of policy options” We suggest making a fundamental rights impact assessment systematic by adding a mandatory separate fundamental rights section to the impact assessments As it is rather common for EU institutions to outsource these impact assessments to external experts another suggestion is to establish quality standards for this outsourcing Once the Commission’s impact assessment has been drafted the Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) is competent to review its quality The RSB’s members are however not always specialised in fundamental rights protection RSB reports do not consistently review whether the impact on fundamental rights has been assessed in a satisfactory manner A valuable adjustment is to establish a Fundamental Rights Scrutiny Board specifically in charge of reviewing the quality of fundamental rights impact assessments one section within the RSB could be dedicated to scrutinising the quality of the fundamental rights impact assessments ought to be revised to ensure greater independence vis-à-vis the Commission In order to implement the previous proposals adjustments to existing soft law instruments could be made we suggest adopting a new interinstitutional agreement on “Better Fundamental Rights Compliant Regulation” which would allow the centralization of good fundamental rights practices the proposals included in this first section would constitute a good – if not entirely novel – first step towards enhanced protection of fundamental rights in EU legislation even though we recognize that this might signify an additional burden for the institutions’ legislative work There are several good reasons to involve the FRA in ex ante review mechanisms. Its independent nature according to Article 16 of the FRA Regulation ensures a more neutral and objective assessment of fundamental rights compliance of draft legislation the internal structure and composition of the FRA guarantee a high degree of knowledge and expertise in fundamental rights matters there is a diversity and plurality of perspectives represented via the FRA’s composition (e.g perspectives from the Council of Europe as well as representatives of the European Commission) This diverse composition gives the Agency legitimacy and authority also vis-à-vis other actors in the legislative procedure equipping FRA with new prerogatives could fill an institutional gap: whereas some Member States – such as the Netherlands or France – have independent institutions advising on the fundamental rights compatibility of draft legislation (i.e. We envisage two options to involve the FRA more prominently in ex ante control of EU legislation, both requiring amending the FRA Regulation Our preferred recommendation for reinforcing the FRA’s role is to grant it the right to issue public opinions on fundamental rights compliance of draft legislation on its own initiative According to the current version of Article 4(2) of the FRA Regulation FRA may issue an opinion on positions taken by the institutions in the course of legislative procedures only where such a request has been made by the respective institution By granting it the possibility of giving advisory opinions spontaneously during the legislative process instead the ex ante review becomes more comprehensive Such rights of issuing spontaneous opinions already exist in the EU legal order the European Economic and Social Committee may issue an opinion to the Commission and the Parliament if it deems it appropriate The necessary modification of Article 4(2) FRA Regulation – which would require unanimity in the Council following Article 352(1) TFEU – could thus be modelled on this wording entails a risk of excessive lengthening of the legislative procedure An answer to this problem could be to establish a one-stop-shop mechanism inside the agency which would be in charge of running a quick (limited) preliminary check in order to decide whether issuing an in-depth opinion is necessary or whether the procedure can continue before the European Parliament and the Council This solution would require additional resources for the FRA to properly execute this task without hindering its other functions Even though such advisory opinions of the FRA would not be binding they would probably lead to a strengthening of fundamental rights compliance especially as the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) may take it into account in its reasoning when ruling on annulment actions the introduction of such abstract pre-emptive review of draft legislation would require a major treaty reform In the framework of a pre-emptive fundamental rights review the CJEU could give a binding opinion on the compatibility of an envisaged legislative act with fundamental rights at the very end of the legislative procedure Such a mechanism could be modelled after the existing mechanism for reviewing the compatibility of envisaged international agreements with EU primary law provided for in Article 218(11) TFEU Setting up an ex ante judicial review mechanism presents an evident threat of extending excessively the duration of the legislative process generating abuses in the use of such procedure and overburdening the CJEU the use of the pre-emptive control procedure would need to be subject to strict admissibility conditions introducing this procedure should be preceded by a thorough reflection on its interactions and overlaps with the annulment action provided for in Article 263 TFEU The scopes of the two mechanisms could be separated by limiting the grounds of ex ante review to fundamental rights-related matters The constantly growing body of EU secondary legislation in fundamental rights-sensitive fields calls for a serious debate on the potential refinement of ex ante review of EU legislative acts Whereas the establishment of fully-fledged control mechanisms – similar to those existing in several Member States – of EU legislation would imply a major overhaul of the current institutional setting significant adjustments may be realised via the improvement of already practiced solutions A number of the aforementioned refinements such as those concerning the “Better regulation” toolbox or the way impact assessments are conducted constitute changes that could be introduced through the spreading of good practices potentially coupled with an enhanced involvement of FRA in the legislative process would increase the credibility of the EU in its role as a key player in the field of fundamental rights protection This publication is the outcome of a workshop (KU Leuven 13-14.6.2024) hosted by the RESHUFFLE project under the direction of Prof The latter project explores the constitutional implications of the growing influence of the EU on the protection of fundamental rights in Europe; it is funded by the European Research Council under the European

reflection of all the amazing things we’ve accomplished” A series of captivating films illustrating the journey of the past year provided a poignant backdrop to the music the marches and moments of hope played out on screen A powerful and emotive reminder of all that has happened and how the world has changed for Jews since October 7 Opening with a series of songs sung in Hebrew then entranced the audience with his version of Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence The mood was then lifted with a medley of spirited Jewish songs sung by the trio bringing an enthusiastic audience to its feet to dance After an interval we heard from Stephen Brisley His sister and two nieces were killed in the attack on Kibbutz Be’eri and his brother-in-law Eli Sharabi remains in captivity This was followed by a hauntingly beautiful version of Acheinu by Alby who asked us to hold up our phone torches as he sang Shulem moved us with Andra Day’s Rise Up and cheered us with Elton John’s I’m Still Standing
