New Florida Minimum Wage Law and Crime
The Chaya Aydel Seminary in Hallandale Beach Offer An Alternative For Girls
By Aron Solomon
A 2016 article in The Atlantic showed that Florida’s current path of an increased minimum wage is inextricably linked to a reduction in crime rates. The idea that there is a clear link between increasing the minimum wage and decreasing crime isn’t new. Under a new mandate coming into effect later this week, Florida is about to put that theory into practice. Florida’s minimum hourly wage will inch up to $8.65 on January 1st, an increase of nine cents per hour. But on September 30th, 2021, it will jump substantially to $10. The minimum wage then will increase by $1 each year until it reaches $15 an hour on the last day of September, 2026. A 2016 article in The Atlantic showed that Florida’s current path of an increased minimum wage is inextricably linked to a reduction in crime rates: Higher wages for low-skilled workers reduce both property and violent crime, as well as crime among adolescents… The impact of wages on crime is substantial … a 10 percent increase in wages for non-college educated men results in approxiLaw And Crime, Page 7A

Yet the Chaya Aydel Seminary in Hallandale Beach, Florida has not only survived but has been able to thrive during this difficult time. Many girls who would have otherwise gone overseas for their Seminary year had to alter their plans due to travel restrictions and health concerns, and CAS, one of the few Chabad Seminaries in the USA, was there to offer an alternative for these girls. Seeing this as an opportunity for growth and expansion, CAS decided to hire new Staff members to strengthen the already amazing Seminary Program and its wonderful staff of teachers and administration. The Chaya Aydel Seminary is excited to announce 3 new staff members who joined the team of educators during the pandemic: Mrs. Shana Wolf, Mrs. Nechama Heidingsfeld and Mrs. Rivkah

COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Resources and Appointment Information By Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper
As COVID-19 Vaccines roll out, there have been plenty of glitches. For the past months, we have been hearing that the State Health Department is ready. Broward DOH boasted that they had received awards and became a model for the handling of the SARS Vaccine distribution. The Mayors group in Broward have been asking for their plan for over three weeks. On our last call, it was made clear by our County Mayor, that they had no plan, nor had the DOH given them any information. We now know that the Vaccines were distributed by the hospital. Of the shipments they

Pfizer and Moderna both have a 95% effective rate, while AstraZeneca reported

“But strategically optimizing family wealth for generations also comes down to communication between the generations, and there seems to be a real disconnect between the generations when it comes to talking about wealth.
