Crown Heights, Brooklyn – Yesterday, Sunday, a car attempted to pull into a driveway on Empire Blvd between Albany and Troy coming from the opposite side and hit a passing minivan causing it to collide with a parked car.

B”H there were no injuries and there was no one passing on the sidewalk where the parked car was pushed into. Drivers need to take extra care in that area of Empire, it’s the most accident prone intersection in Crown Heights.

Shabbat With Chabad at the Cannes Film Festival

B. Olidort – Lubavitch.com
Guests from the Cannes Film Festival join Chabad at Shabbat services on the Riviera.

Cannes, France — The International Cannes Film Festival, emblematic in all ways of material girls (and boys), seemed a most unlikely venue for a spiritual encounter. Indeed, curious onlookers assumed it was a film shoot that had people dancing to the Shabbat liturgy of Lecha Dodi, on the French Riviera last Friday night.

Cork, Ireland — Kabbala has always been an idea that intrigued me but I had no idea how to set about learning it until in my sixties I found Chabad - or rather, Chabad found me, in a remote corner of a country that few people know very much about. But I have to go back a bit to explain.

A few years ago when my husband and I reached retirement age we decided to move out of London, where we had lived all our lives. We sold our house in the suburbs and to our friends' astonishment moved to a small rural town in the Irish Republic. So we left an area of London where there was a very large Jewish community, synagogues to suit every shade of orthodoxy, and shops to supply every Jewish appetite from matzos to gefilte fish; and we moved to a Catholic country and a farming area where there are only two other Jewish people, both of whom have “married out”.
