Stash away those quarters. Switch off the alarm clock. A New York City tradition of free metered parking on Sundays - revoked in many neighborhoods to help ease the city's fiscal crisis three years ago - will be revived under a law that the City Council approved yesterday over a mayoral veto.
Beginning on Nov. 13, about 32,100 parking spaces at the curb and 4,500 in municipal lots will be available to drivers without charge every Sunday. Worshipers had complained that they had had to dash out of services to feed parking meters.

The lulav crisis in Israel is still not going away, despite the entry of 70,000 lulavim from Gaza today. The U.S. has additional lulav problems of its own.The Israeli market demands some 500,000 kosher lulavim a year for the Sukkot holiday, and the vast majority of this number are imported from Egypt. This year, however, one importer - Avi Balali of Segulah, north of Kiryat Gat - has managed to convince Egypt to drastically reduce the amount of lulavim it exports, and to allow him exclusive rights on that limited amount.
A report in the Hebrew weekly Yated Ne'eman alleges that Balali, a non-observant Jew, bribed Egyptian officials to this end.

Dollars at 770!
Photo: COL
Yesterday [Sunday] a group of messianic’s wanted to practice their ritual of the staged “Rebbe dollars” in front of the Rebbe’s room, but didn’t succeed. The whole place went violent in seconds, a few older people from 770 tried peacefully to end it before it started, but they were just shoved out of 770 by a group of 30, and they went on to trying to give out the dollars.
But then our hero’s “Shmira” came to the rescue. Shmira is known for their violent and aggressive approach to everything. Came in and tried to “break up” the confrontation, but immediately became the victims of a beating on behalf of this group, when shmira completely lost control they started spraying teargas in a vain attempt to regain control.

AMERICAN JEWRY is experiencing a cognitive dissonance the likes of which it has never known. To illustrate, consider my recent lecture in Virginia Beach, Va.: "Anti-Semitism at the Universities: What Can We Do About It?"
It is very significant that a mainstream (i.e., largely secular and liberal) Jewish organization (the Jewish Community Center) would fly a speaker from across the country to speak on anti-Semitism at universities.
To understand how significant, one must appreciate how much Jews revere the university.

After a violent clash with 2 different groups in one night it seems that this weirdo we’ve had around our neighborhood left.
On Thursday night he was spotted attempting to chat up 2 girls on Union St. and Kingston Ave. when someone walked up to him to ask him what he was doing, he got very loud and aggressive and in return he was treated to a beating. As if that wasn’t enough, a half hour later he parked next to 770 on Kingston Ave. and he spotted someone he had a confrontation with in 770 and went over to him and provoked another fist fight, in which his car lost 2 of its windows. He then filed police reports with descriptions of who attacked him on scene by the police officers, which assured him the matter will be perused.
Now it’s been a few days later and he has yet to be seen, B”H. But if you do see him please call Shomrim @ (718) 774-3333.

A group of Bochurim did stand outside and “demonstrate” against Davening in the Rebbe’s house, but other then that everything went very nice and smooth.

What do you give to a community who has lost a good portion of their material possessions, along with their homes, jobs and secure future? As humanitarian organizations and individuals scramble to adequately provide for the many needs of a displaced population, Louisiana’s Chabad Rabbis came through this Rosh Hashanah with something only they could offer: a sense of community.“When people talk about what they miss about being home in New Orleans, a common theme that emerges is the sense of being together with your community, feeling at home with a group of people with whom you share so much,” says Rabbi Yossi Nemes, director of Chabad of Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans. Nemes, along with Louisiana’s senior Chabad Rabbi Zelig Rivkin, three other local Rabbis and their respective families spent Rosh Hashanah with close to 150 New Orleaneans who shared those feelings over the holiday. Celebrating with members of their own community at Chabad’s Rosh Hashanah retreat in Monroe, Louisiana, he says, was a priceless gift.
