In Jersey City, A Remarkable Kindness
Owners of four kosher markets come together to rebuild Moshe Ferencz’s grocery store.

But I was actually reading about a grocery store – and it wasn’t the current price of paper towels (exorbitant due to the run on them) that had me in tears.

At State of the City, Fulop talks Dec. 10th shooting, COVID-19, defund the police movement
During his first virtual State of the City address, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop discussed a number of topics including the Greenville massacre that occurred last year, the COVID-19 pandemic, the defunding the police movement – among other things.
“That was the most difficult day I’ve ever experienced as mayor.
