San Diego, CA — The news came late to some students, so when all 450 chairs set up for a Friday night dinner with Chabad at the San diego State University campus were taken, another 100 students waited outside to get in.
The year was 1994. I had recently moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn after graduating from college in San Diego, California. It was quite a change for me, the geographical shift from the beaches of La Jolla to the noise and cold of New York being the least of it. More so, I had left my politically correct, and extremely liberal college environment to immerse myself in intensive Judaic studies and try to get a glimpse of understanding into the life long question, “Who am I?”
Although spiritual knowledge was something I was seeking, eating was also one of my needs, so I immediately started to look for a job. I soon heard that a woman was in need of a gymnastic teacher. Having done gymnastics for years and coached during college, I was thrilled to discover that there was a small gym program being held in this woman’s basement for little five year old Chassidic girls. I was ecstatic. Granted, it was not a gym like I was used to, but I knew I could improvise, and just wanted an opportunity to work with children and teach them the very things I loved so much.

Wednesday night at around 7:00pm there was an attempt made to break into a home on Carroll St between Kingston and Albany. Present in the house at the time was one of the children who called 911 in a panic saying that someone was trying to open the porch window to get in. Many police officers both in uniform and plain clothed responded and surrounded the alleyway and the block with guns drawn and were searching for the perp, even a police helicopter was called in to search the rooftops to search for the perp.
The perp though was not apprehended. The Commanding Officer of the 71st precinct told CrownHeights.info that there was no chance being taken, after a rash of ‘home invasions’ and burglaries took place in the neighborhood, he said that the night before there were two perps apprehended on Crown St in regards to break-ins in the neighborhood.
Princeton, NJ — A six-foot, three-inch point guard took Dillon Gym by storm Wednesday night, effortlessly sinking 19 of 20 shots from just inside the three-point arc. As he spun, dribbled and launched the ball high into the air, the lanky player would have caught the eye of many college coaches.
But he wasn’t a high school prospect aiming for a spot in the Princeton men’s basketball program. He was Tamir Goodman, a player for an Israeli semiprofessional basketball team, and he was shooting some hoops with rabbi Eitan Webb, director of Princeton Chabad, and two reporters.
Washington DC — A select group of 11 Jewish student leaders from the University of Pennsylvania took part in a special tour of the West Wing two weeks ago, thanks to the efforts of a Penn alumnus and Rabbi Levi Haskelevich, associate director of the Lubavitch House at Penn.
