Rabbi Levi Baumgarten greets a visitor inside his Mitzvah Tank.

Weekly Story: It Disappeared

Two hours passed, and then three and no one was coming out of the surgery room. “You could understand how our emotions and fear grew from minute to minute being in the dark for so long.” Mr. R. D. paused for a moment as he tried to control his emotions, recalling the events of eight years ago, and then continued; about four hours after the operation began the doctor came out with a puzzled look on his face.

Schools Doors Open to 7,000 Jewish Pupils Across the FSU

On Monday, over 7,000 Jewish students across the Former Soviet Union (FSU) started the new learning year in FJC’s Or Avner schools and kindergartens. Even though some have already had the “First Bell” openings on Thursday, for most the festive ceremony, customary in the post-Soviet education system, took place on Monday. And in a unique Or Avner tradition, the ringing of the first bell came alongside the blowing of the Shofar, highlighting the Jewish character of the schools and underlining the idea of an education aimed at excellence in both general subjects and Jewish heritage.

Op-Ed: Once Again, a Final Goodbye

Her name was Faygee. She was 20 years old and she had a smile that could light up a room. Faygee was one of my wife Aviva’s students and she was full of life, full of love, and full of hope. She always knew what to say to make everyone around her feel good, how to give them chizuk so that they could carry on even when they faced trials and tribulations. But we lost her Monday night to an accidental heroin overdose.
