Clayton County, IA – In a small Mississippi River town like Guttenberg, breaking news events are a rarity, so reporter M.J. Smith has been drawn to what she calls “faith in action stories.”
One of her recent columns in the Guttenberg Press (which did not produce the Bible, but is 110 years old) was about a methamphetamine producer in the Oakdale Correctional Complex who was trying to get his life on track. Another week, she covered a church that was negotiating for lower prescription drug prices.
One faith she never had seen in action was Judaism, as it is said that the only Jew in Clayton County is an older man who converted to Lutheranism a few years back. But that all changed this year, when a Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi bought a plot of land in the hills between the Mississippi and Turkey Rivers in order to establish what he calls a “youth village” for Jewish youngsters who have gone astray.
Yekatrinoslav, Ukraine — If your camp counselor rigged a watermelon with fireworks, your head counselor plunged from the sky on a zip line and your night activity director paraded through a flea market in a hot pink snowsuit, then you’re probably in Ukraine’s Camp Gan Israel Yekatrinoslav.
“We give the kids three weeks of insanity to keep them going for a whole year,” said Akiva Danzinger, a former head counselor. There’s a method to the madness, and the unusual formula behind Yeka’s success is eyed and emulated by Gan Israel camps around the world.

One thing is certain, however: Chassidic reggae superstar Matisyahu has arrived, and in a big way.
Despite his black suit, velvet kippah and tzitzit flying in every direction as he bopped around the stage at Toronto’s Molson Amphitheatre last month, the audience was dancing right along with him, mouthing lyrics such as “treif wine clouds the heart.”
Those singing along, however, were not Lubavitch – they were in their teens and early 20s, and were not necessarily Jewish.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel, awaiting word of the fate of a captured soldier, marked the 30th anniversary Tuesday of its dramatic rescue of dozens of hostages from hijacked plane in the African nation of Uganda.
In the Entebbe raid on July 4, 1976, Israeli commandos and paratroopers carried out the hastily planned military operation in 99 minutes, whisking more than 100 hostages out of a terminal at Uganda’s international airport and into waiting Hercules military aircraft.
The grieving parents of a Brooklyn girl killed by a runaway bus have notified the city they intend to file a multimillion-dollar wrongful death lawsuit, the Daily News has learned.
In a notice of claim filed late last week, Amber Sadiq’s parents said they will also seek damages for their son Umar, 10, who watched as his 8-year-old sister was crushed to death on May 22 by a school bus sent down a hill by a little boy.
Amidst live music, singing & dancing the Russian Jewish Community of Chicago and Suburbs welcomed a newly restored Sefer Torah this past Sunday. The event that took place at FREE’s newest location in Riverwoods, IL saw large crowds many attending for the 1st time. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. & Mrs. Sergey Golber this Torah that has been unkosher for some time now needing extensive repairs was restored in memory of Alexander Golber, a long time member of FREE.
‘Shalom' in Hebrew means peace. In Gordon it also means Shalom Rubashkin, the boss of Local Pride, is coming to town.
