Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
A story is told of a nobleman who was traveling through the forest when he noticed a large number of trees that had been used for target practice. To his amazement, every arrow was nestled perfectly in the bull’s-eye.

He could not help but marvel over the perfect marksmanship. “Who might possess such extraordinary talent,” he mused?

As he stood there marveling, he beheld a young man off in the distance shooting arrows. He immediately ran towards the boy. “Are you the sharpshooter who has landed all those bull’s-eyes?” he asked. “That is correct sir,” replied the young fellow with a sheepish grin. “You are an awfully talented individual. Where have you acquired such remarkable skill?” “To be honest,” said the lad, “I have developed my own foolproof technique.

Six years after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, New York City is said to be lagging behind other cities in creating technology to aid firefighters to safely do their jobs.

Since the attacks, the city's Fire Department has built a state-of-the-art command center in Brooklyn and is installing Global Positioning System units in fire trucks, but a lack of “pre-planning” is putting first-responders in danger, according to some department officials and outside experts.

Other Cities Race Ahead of New York on Fire Technology

I first met Shaindel several years ago when she knocked on my door with a request. “Hello,” she said with a smile. “I have two children who need special education, and I’m collecting money for them.”

Something about the honest, straightforward way she said it touched my heart, and I was happy to help out in any way I could.

Over the next few years Shaindel would reappear at my door approximately once a year, always with the same smile.

In answer to the question that many had regarding the Matzos sold at the bakery in Crown Heights that is under the ownership of R. Yitzchok Tenenbaum.

The Rebbe says:

1. This year the Parshas (Torah portions) of Vayakhel and Pekudei are read together on one Shabbos.

2. We know that generally the name of something hints at what the thing is all about. This is especially so with regards to the name of a Parshah (Torah portion) because everything in the Torah is perfectly exact.

Let us examine our two portions of this Shabbos and see if their names fit with their content:

Bal Harbour, FL — When a young boy faces the prospect of leading the congregation in prayer on Saturday mornings, the excitement is palpable but it may be dwarfed by the utter enormity of the task. It’s a skill that takes dedicated practice to master with confidence, and recently, a Chabad vocalist has stepped up to the mike at recording studios to become the world’s most patient liturgical tune tutors.

The woman rolling the dough. Photo: COL Editing: CH.info

A few days ago a question has arisen over the Jewish identity of one of the woman working in the ‘Lubavitch Matzah’ bakery in Crown Heights. According to the ‘Shulchan Aruch’ in order for Matzos to be good for use as ‘Matzos Mitzvah’ only a Jew may be involved in the entire process of making the Matzah, for a Goy cannot say ‘Leshem Matzot Mitzvah’.

The bakery employs Russian and Polish ladies that roll the dough, one of which has the question arisen over. The woman had been temporarily removed and all matzos that were baked up until a few days ago will be held until her proper identity can be determined.
