(JNS.org) — Following Friday's Islamist terror attacks that killed at least 129 people, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews said Sunday that it is providing immediate emergency aid of more than $86,000 to 25 synagogues and schools run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement across France.
The aid—which will be used to add security guards and more sophisticated security systems at the French Jewish institutions—marks the latest phase of more than $1 million in security support that the Fellowship has been providing to Chabad institutions worldwide, including in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cypress, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Nepal, Spain, Thailand, and India.
STATE HOUSE — House leaders have crafted a modest proposal to lift the cap on solar net metering in an effort to break a logjam of stalled solar projects across many parts of the state, teeing up the long-awaited legislation for a debate on Tuesday and drawing sharp criticism from solar advocates.
The cap on the amount of public and privately generated solar power that can be sold back to the grid at retail rates would be expanded by 2 percent for both categories under a bill House leaders intend to put on the floor for a vote on Tuesday.
