Sarah Dukes Composes Song for Slain Teenagers
No More, a song composed by Crown Heights songwriter Sarah Dukes, is a soulful tribute to the three Israeli teenagers, Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel, who were brutally murdered by Palestinian Terrorists earlier this summer.

Moments Before they were Killed, Soldiers Photographed Putting on Tefilin
They were three friends, fighters in the IDF’s armored brigade, who served together for months, waiting for their turn to go into Gaza and fight the terrorists. But at that moment the worst happened: a mortar shell fired by the enemy exploded nearby and killed all three, along with another soldier who was nearby.
The current war in Gaza did not have to happen. It is a result of the actions of the Israeli government and its supporters, including American backers, and complacent Jews in Eretz Yisroel and abroad. This war is one of the grave consequences of The Disengagement Plan, i.e., the expulsion of Jews, both soldiers and residents, from the Gaza Strip, and the resultant predictable empowerment of Hamas.

Mivtzoim at S. Monica’s ‘Night Out Against Crime’
Millions of Americans partake in the ‘National Night Out Against Crime,’ an event held to prevent crime and build community partnerships between residents and law enforcement. This year’s event fell out on Tisha B’Av, but that did not stop Chabad of Simcha Monica from turning out in full force.
