Today there was no parking on President St. between Kingston Ave. & Brooklyn Ave. all cars on that block have been towed to random locations. If you had your car parked there and it was towed, it would be a few blocks over at the most.

If you still can’t find your car call 311 and they will assist you. For future information when you see a sign that says “No Parking Thursday” it means from 12:00am Thursday and not Thursday morning.

The reason there is no parking on President St. is for building and parking the Sukkah Mobiles.

"Joy shatters barriers," says a well-known Jewish aphorism. It's a phrase that many Orthodox synagogues will take literally Tuesday evening with the beginning of Simchat Torah, one of the Jewish calendar's most joyous days. When the yearlong Torah-reading cycle comes to a close, all Orthodox congregations will dance with their Torahs. But some will do so in a sanctuary that's been altered temporarily. In some communities, the mechitzah (the barrier separating women from men) will be taken down.

Miriam Hoffinger, 70, remembers the mechitzah coming down in the Hasidic shtibl (prayer house) her family attended in Paris in the mid 1950s. "It was the one time during the year when the mechitzah came down and we were all together, celebrating in the same space," she said.
