In one of the closest local races of the season, Orthodox Jewish Mayor Steven Meiner won re-election to lead Miami Beach, Florida, edging out Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez by a margin of 51% to 49%.

Meiner, who left a successful legal career to enter public service, emphasized his achievements since taking office in 2023. He pointed to a decline in overall crime, progress in tackling homelessness, and efforts to attract new business ventures as proof of his administration’s effectiveness.

His opponent, Rosen Gonzalez—a Miami Beach native and college professor—conceded that crime rates have fallen but argued that certain violent offenses remain a concern. She urged a renewed focus on issues like the economy, clean water, safety, and public transportation, saying the city’s next phase of growth requires forward-looking leadership.

After securing his narrow victory, Meiner expressed appreciation to the community that re-elected him. “I am grateful to the voters for their confidence and support,” he said, vowing to build upon his first term’s priorities of strengthening public safety, bolstering economic expansion, and improving residents’ overall quality of life.

it is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rebbetzin Faiga Sorotzkin a”h, who was niftar at Tel Hashomer Hospital.

She was the mother of Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin, rosh yeshivas Ateres Shlomo, who leads a vast network of yeshivos, kollelim, and chinuch institutions in Eretz Yisroel.

Rebbetzin Sorotzkin was the wife of Rav Binyomin Sorotzkin, and a daughter-in-law of Rav Boruch Sorotzkin zt”l, rosh yeshivasTelshe.

She was a woman of deep emunah and regal bearing, dedicating her life fully to Torah and the spiritual growth of her children and grandchildren.

Rebbetzin Sorotzkin personified the devoted eishes chayil. With quiet strength and unwavering bitachon, she supported her husband in his avodas hakodesh and raised her children to become ovdei Hashem and marbitzei Torah of the highest caliber. Her son, Rav Shalom Ber, carries forth that legacy as one of the most dynamic builders of Torah in Eretz Hakodesh. Under his leadership, Ateres Shlomo has grown to encompass numerous institutions throughout Eretz Yisroel.

Known for her warmth, wisdom, and refined middos, Rebbetzin Sorotzkin was deeply respected by all who knew her. Her life was one of quiet dignity, devoted entirely to serving Hashem and His Torah, to her family, and to the countless talmidim who were like her own children.

She leaves behind children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, many of whom are prominent bnei Torah and marbitzei Torah in Eretz Yisroel and beyond.

Yehi zichrah boruch.
