WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted to confirm Ohio’s Rep. Marcia Fudge as President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Secretary in a 66 to 34 vote. The Warrensville Heights Democrat will be the first woman to lead HUD in more than 40 years and the second Black woman in history to lead the department.
As HUD Secretary, Fudge has pledged to help make the dream of homeownership a reality for more Americans by ending discriminatory practices in the housing market, and ensure that fair housing rules open the door for families, “especially families of color who have been systematically kept out in the cold across generations, to buy homes and punch their ticket to the middle class.”

Bat Yam presents scheduled events
By BAT YAM TEMPLE - | Feb 18, 2021
Bat Yam Temple of the Islands announced its upcoming programs and activities.
Jane Picker will present a Zoom talk on Feb. 24 at 11 a.m. on “The 1970’s When Litigation Changed Everything for Women.” A congregant and professor emerita at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, she successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that schoolteachers did not have to take unpaid mandatory leave of when they reached their fourth month of pregnancy. Her talk comes on the heels of a recording of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 2008 talk as part of the BIG ARTS Forum, which was Zoomed as part of Bat Yam’s Adult Education program on Feb. 10.
Calling what the Senate did a "trial" is demeaning to the very concept of a legal proceeding. Instead, just call it a GOP free-for-all. This would be much more appropriate, writes Doron M. Kalir, a professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
