With him, he brings a small folding table, his phone and a small tripod, and maybe a few things related to the latest or upcoming Jewish holiday. The goal, he said, is just to talk to people. If it's about Judaism? Fine by him. If not, all the same. "It's a great way to get to know people," Lapedis said. Only recently did Rabbi Leivy begin filming his interactions. If one is valuable or answers a wide-ranging question about Judaism, he'll post it.

(WRDW/WAGT) " Georgia homeowners will soon be able to open catastrophe savings accounts to help cover disaster-related expenses as insurance deductibles keep rising. House Bill 511 creates accounts similar to health savings accounts but designed for business or home disaster expenses. Money deposited into the accounts is tax-deductible, grows tax-free at the state level, and can be used for deductibles or repairs after a governor-declared disaster. The program addresses growing costs from hurricanes, floods and tornadoes affecting Georgia homeowners. Some communities are still recovering from recent disasters. "Some of our homes that were not insured and we found out some of our homes were underinsured. We are continuing to recover at a snails pace," said Mayor Tony Paulk.
