Torah Studies, a JLI program designed to spark prominence, prestige and professionalism to weekly Parsha classes at Chabad Centers worldwide, is now being launched in over 240 cities around the world and scheduled to begin shortly with a new 12-week series on Sefer Bereishis.

Torah Studies is the brainchild of Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky and was launched as a resolution of last year’s Kinus Hashluchim to “provide all shluchim with the necessary tools to enhance and upgrade their adult education efforts, and has rapidly developed to be the largest Parsha class in the world”, said Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, who spearheaded its creation and development over the past year “with as many as 10,000 students studying the very same text weekly” he added.

Blood spatter from the attack that was still visible on Motzoai Yom Kippur

After Davening, at around 9:30 pm a sixteen year old Bochur was assaulted on Carroll St between Troy and Schenectady. The incident began when a group of about five to seven Black males surrounded the Bochur and hit the him in the head, followed by a wave of blows from the group, leaving the Bochur in need of medical attention.

Upon hearing calls for help, bystanders came forward, scaring off the group, who fled on Carroll towards Troy with a group of Yidden hot on their trail. Police stationed on President and Troy saw what was going on and joined in on the pursuit, catching result of which ended in the apprehension of three out of the group.

Back on Carroll street, Hatzalah responded and began treating the Bochur for the extensive injuries to his head, including a broken nose, cuts to the back of his head and face, and his eyes swollen shut. When being questioned as to what had taken place the Bochur was incoherent and mixed up, which worried Hatzalah. At first he said that they demanded money, while the assault didn’t look like that of an attempted mugging.

Hasidic Jewish men laugh while performing a ritual whipping before sunset outside the grave of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh grand rebbe of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic movement, to mark the start of Yom Kippur October 1, 2006 in Cambria Heights, New York. Yom Kippur, the Jewish New Year, is considered the holiest day of the year and hundreds of men are visiting the holy pilgrimage site to mark the holiday. Married men wear white on the holiday to symbolize angelic presence. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

We have seen the scooters zipping around day and night, and for the first time ever Crown Heights Shomrim Division is putting a fully marked patrol car on the road. Donated by Aron & Mirit Hershkop of Everything Automotive this is the first of two cars that have been donated, in memory of Ephraim Klein HY”D who was murdered on the streets of Crown Heights. The second car is due to hit the streets next month.

The idea behind the marked patrol car is with ‘crime prevention’ in mind. Every night there are one or two Shomrim members patrolling in their private cars keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood, while this is good for an immediate response to call's and to spot the crime as it happens, it is not as affective for preventing crime.

Brighton, Boston - The city is cracking down on the rabbi who ruffled feathers in his Brighton neighborhood by slaughtering dozens of chickens Erev Yom Kippur as part of a religious ritual and later turned his driveway into a makeshift butcher shop.

The city plans to issue a nuisance notice today to the owner of 239 Chestnut Hill Ave., where yesterday dozens of squawking chickens were beheaded as part of a ritual preceding.

Rabbi Pinchus Krinsky of the Lubavitcher Shul, started performing the slaughter at his home five years ago after his butcher shop closed, said next-door neighbor Larry Loew who says he complained to the city about the unsanitary conditions. “This is not a religious issue. This is a health issue,” Loew said. “You can’t butcher in the name of any God in your back yard without the proper drainage and meeting health codes. He’s putting everyone around him at risk.”

Hit and Run on Kingston and Empire

Motzoai Shabbos, the streets bustling with people heading to and from Kapores around the neighborhood. One elderly couple driving up Kingston, crossing Empire Blvd, struck a red Mitsubishi who by all witness accounts ran the light and was previously observed driving recklessly with loud music playing.

The impact sent the red car into a traffic light pole, immediately after which all three occupants, who according to eye witnesses were all teenage Black males, got out of the car leaving the engine running and ran from the scene. A few Israeli Bochurim who witnessed the accident began perusing the trio managing to catch one of them and a passing Shomrim member held the suspect until police arrived.
