Each Friday night, Jewish families do what we have done for thousands of years.We sit down for the moment we have anticipated all week: Shabbat dinner.Before the meal, we engage in a few ritual practices.The woman of the house lights the Shabbat candles, ushering in the sacred day.We welcome the Sabbath day in song, we bless God over the wine and the bread, and we serenade (from Psalms 31) the Jewish woman.The best part the moment that earns our highest anticipation throughout the week is when we bless our children.It is a moment so sublime that the Jewish parent can, by laying his or her hands on the child, feel the presence of God at the Shabbat table.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills will be one of the recipients of the Human Rights Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization. A ceremony will be held next month.Mills will receive the award because of her battle with President Donald Trumps administration over transgender athlete inclusion in womens and girls sports.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I am honored to receive this recognition named for former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, a heroic champion for civil rights and the rule of law that governs our nation and inspires the world," Mills said in a news release."Throughout my career as a District Attorney, Attorney General, and now as Governor of Maine, I have fought to uphold the Constitution of my state and my country. I feel it is the responsibility of all Americans to speak in defense of their principles, for the rights of others, and for the rule of law which protects us all. As a member of the generation of Americans who were inspired by the career of Robert F. Kennedy, I am truly humbled and grateful for this award, which recognizes how his remarkable legacy should inspire all of us today."IVANKA TRUMP VISITS EAGLES' LOCKER ROOM LOOKING FOR PLAYER WHO CALLED HER 'BEAUTIFUL'Mills, along with Justice Department pardon attorney Elizabeth Oyer and immigration and reform activist Jeanette Vizguerra, was given the award "for their moral courage and willingness to act on their convictions even at great personal risk."The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sued the state of Maine in April as Mills bucked the presidents executive order to keep males out of girls and womens sports. Maines transgender participation policies have been a source of consternation, leading to a public spat between Trump and Mills during a meeting with the governors in February. The USDA lawsuit was one of a few filed against the state.The USDA announced a funding freeze and a review of federal funding to Maine for the state allegedly refusing to provide equal opportunities to women and girls in educational programs. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said at the time that the state must agree to protect female athletes from trans inclusion before funding would be restored.Maine sued the USDA over the funding freeze and accused the department of "withholding funding used to feed children in schools, childcare centers, and after-school programming as well as disabled adults in congregate settings."The state dropped the lawsuit against the administration as the USDA agreed to restore federal funding earlier this month.Maine is still facing other legal battles over the issue.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Everyone knows an elderly relative or friend with a failing memory. It is one of the least pleasant experiences in life, and as dementia progresses, and the person reaches for memories that are no longer there, feelings of frustration and uncertainty increase. Relatives and caretakers worry and may feel helpless, even as the patient themselves denies a problem and may also vary in mental acuity from one day to the next or even from one moment to the next. Gait may be affected depending on the specific diagnosis, and falls become more frequent.Most people would agree that there is a difference in seeing the symptoms of dementia or cognitive slipping occur in someones relative versus the president of the United States. The concern with the president of course is demonstrating a continuing ability to execute the duties of the office at the highest level. The presidents yearly physical has become a yardstick to gauge that ability. This is why Dr. Kevin OConnor, White House physician during President Joe Bidens term is under scrutiny for his reports that reassured the American public that Biden was in excellent health and fit to serve. In February 2024, he wrote, "An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor were there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet."But missing from this letter, as from previous letters on President Bidens health, was any mention of an MRI of the brain or or neuro-cognitive testing. Peripheral neuropathy or sensory loss in his extremities would hardly be a cause for concern about fitness. Further, even if there was a discussion about possible use of a wheelchair among White House insiders, as a new book, "Original Sin," by CNNs Jake Tapper and Axios Alex Thompson suggests,this would also not be a reason to question fitness. FDR famously served from a wheelchair during World War II, even if he tried to hide it so as not to show weakness to the Nazis.JONATHAN TURLEY: BIDEN NOT THE ONLY LOSER REVEALED BY SHOCKING HUR AUDIOBidens gait or feebleness would only have mattered when he was president if it were tied to a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which Dr. OConnor was claiming it wasnt. But was this assessment entirely accurate or comprehensive? We dont know. But what we do know, now that Special Counsel Robert Hurs audiotapes have finally been released, is that Biden was clearly suffering from periods of profound disorientation and memory loss while president involving very important events such as when his son died or when he left office as vice president. Hearing these moments on tape, as opposed to reading them on a transcript, are very sobering and are enough to question his fitness in and of themselves. Yet nothing was done except for apparent obfuscation and coverup.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThere has been a long history of obscuring presidential health, from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Eisenhower, even to Ronald Reagan, where there is still some debate about whether he began to show mild signs of cognitive impairment in his second term.But this tawdry history of lack of disclosure doesnt make it right.We still dont know what former President Biden suffers from. He had brain aneurysms and a bleed back in 1988 which were repaired by an open method (craniotomy) which could lead to long term cognitive problems, and he suffers from atrial fibrillation (irregularly irregular heart beat), which recent studies have shown increased risk of cognitive decline.There is a risk of vascular dementia.Whatever the underlying cause of his periods of disorientation and memory lapses we wish him well. But we also wish the country an era of greater disclosure and transparency especially when it involves our highest office.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR. MARC SIEGEL

Actor Pedro Pascal, who is starring in a movie titled "Eddington" that played at the Cannes Film Festival, deflected concerns about the United States becoming closed off to migrants in a press conference on Friday."I wonder what you think - are you worried about these millions of Latin migrants in the shadows, living in America, and do you fear that America will become an absolutely closed country to the world?" one reporter asked Pascal."I mean its obviously very scary for an actor participating in a movie to sort of speak to issues like this," Pascal said.
