Curfew in Baltimore may effect yeshiva Bochurim coming home from night seder

The mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced a weeklong, citywide 10 p.m. curfew starting Tuesday night to quell riots and looting that broke out on Baltimore's west side Monday. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and requested the Maryland National Guard to assist Baltimore police and several other state and local agencies in enforcing the curfew. The latest curfew will supplement the city's strict juvenile curfew, instituted last year, requiring children younger than 14 to be indoors by 9 p.m. on school nights. Those older than 14 may stay out until 10 p.m. on school nights and 11 p.m. on weekends and over the summer. Under the curfew, people may not be out on the road unless they are driving to or from work or have a medical emergency.
