ASPEN, CO — Opposition appears to be growing over a proposal to establish a Jewish community center on the east end of Aspen.

The Aspen City Council at its meeting tonight is likely to hear from dozens of people who oppose the Jewish Community Center moving into the Silver Lining Ranch, a former nonprofit facility that for seven years provided a retreat for kids afflicted with cancer. The facility has largely been underutilized since 2006.

Community members gather at the Ohr Menachem Chabad House in S. Denis, France, in advance of Passover.

Three months after an apparent anti-Semitic attack left the cafeteria of S. Denis, France’s Chabad-Lubavitch center severely charred, the local Jewish community reports one of the largest Passover gatherings in the Paris suburb.

In addition, say community leaders, the Ohr Menachem Chabad House directed by Rabbi Yisroel and Rivky Belinow distributed food and financial assistance to some 70 needy families this holiday season, the highest number in recent memory. Yisroel Belinow attributed the increased need to the state of the economy.
