☆ New Jersey Governor Joins School Halloween Fray: ‘Give Me a Break’

If you happen to attend one of the 10 schools in New Jersey’s South Orange and Maplewood school district, put away that Spiderman costume on Halloween. Or wait until after school. Earlier this month, Dr. Ronald G. Taylor, the superintendent of the district, sent a letter to parents saying that Halloween would not be celebrated during school hours. The announcement from Dr. Taylor divided families in the district. Some fully supported the decision, pointing out that some of the elementary schools had already stopped celebrating the holiday, whereas other parents saw this as liberal good intentions going off the rails.

The Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016 was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history at the time. Photo: adrees latif/ReutersThe city of Orlando, Fla., voted to buy the site of the Pulse nightclub shooting, with plans to turn the grounds into a memorial for the 49 people who were killed there in 2016. The Orlando City Council unanimously approved Monday the $2 million purchase of 1912 South Orange Avenue, the land housing the now-closed club. Mayor Buddy Dyer last week said the city would determine the next steps for building a memorial.

☆ In Praise of the Ever-Evolving Lauryn Hill

“She is having so much fun onstage” was the surprised thought that ran through my mind as Lauryn Hill kicked off her Ms. Lauryn Hill & Fugees: “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” 25th Anniversary Tour at the Prudential Center in downtown Newark on Tuesday night. Perhaps Hill was also amped by the high stakes of the performance. Earlier this year, her Fugees group mate Pras was found guilty for an illegal foreign influence scheme, leading some to predict that this full reconciliation of Pras, Hill and Wyclef Jean would be their final tour as a trio. Or maybe, I was projecting glee back onto her since this was the first of her concerts at which I’ve felt fully at ease since attending her initial solo tour back in 1999. Every time since — including when I bought tickets to her performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 2009, only for her entire European tour abruptly canceled — I’ve been disappointed by her inconsistency.

For Amira Rasool, fashion is a lifelong passion. "I was always the person that laid out my first day of school outfit, like, two weeks before school," she says. That same year, she also traveled to South Africa, discovering local clothing brands she'd never heard of in the States. Many brands didn't have the technology, infrastructure to ship internationally or access to U.S. retailers to get their apparel outside of African borders. 'My mom would just ship the products from her place'After that initial visit to South Africa, Rasool sought out ways to return to the country to found her company.
☆ FBI says New Jersey synagogues are no longer in danger after agents found the source of a threat that forced houses of worship to step up security

The FBI said on Friday that New Jersey synagogues are no longer in immediate danger. This update comes after the agency warned of a "broad threat" against the houses of worship. "We identified the source of the threat who no longer poses a danger to the community." Phil Murphy said on social media that he was grateful to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies "for their tireless efforts in mitigating the immediate threat to our Jewish synagogues." Thursday's threat against the New Jersey synagogues comes amid rising antisemitism in the US.
