NYC has announced that it will provide three free Kosher meals for any New Yorker who may need. True to their word, theses signs have been put up outside 900 St. Marks Ave, one of two Crown Heights locations.
A “Diversity” train in Frankfurt, Germany used a picture of a Lubavitcher Chossid at Krias Hatorah wearing Tallis and Tefillin to depict a religious Jew. Do you know who this Chossid is?
Its a thank you from the heart. A group of Crown Heights residents came together to thank the volunteers of Crown Heights Hatzalah with a billboard on Kingston Ave. The sign, on the Kingston Ave bus stop near Montgomery Street, thanks the volunteers for their unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice during these trying times.
Eastern Parkway and Kingston Ave has always been a major highway for Lubavitchers, many times spilling into the streets and overfilling into the surrounding areas. With grant money allocated to place surveillance cameras on Crown Heights intersections, the NYPD has finally placed one on the hotbed corner.
As COVID-19 sweeps through Jewish communities worldwide, each and every person asks themselves, “How can I help?” Rabbi Mordechai Hecht asked himself this question, and found the answer in his tie collection. It was time to pass on the goodness.

The Chamah organization has generously sponsored a large amount of apples for the Crown Heights Jewish community. Crown Heights Shomrim is helping with the distribution in front of Aliyah Shul on East New York Ave between Brooklyn Ave and Kingston Ave. Feel free to swing by and pick some up for your family.
The hospitals of New York City are already beginning to feel the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Governors requirement foe each hospital to increase its bed compacity by at least 50%, many hospitals have taken to erecting outdoor tents to handle the extra load. Maimonides Hospital, a staple hospital for the Crown Heights Jewish community, erected three large tents, this one outside its main entryway to triage arriving patients and facilitate intake.
Just as Crown Heights Hatzalah has seen its call volume balloon over the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the community, the lifesaving organization received its newly mounted CH-901 back. The red and white ambulance, designated the number CH-901, had been out of service as it got remounted and spruced up, with a blue and white ambulance temporarily taking its place.

In a historic first, the doors to 770 were chained shut for more than a few hours. The entire 770 has been shut due to a psak from the Rabbonim of Crown Heights to shut all shuls and men’s Mikvahs in the community.
Vayehi Erev Vayehi Boker. Outdoor Minyanim continue throughout Crown Heights as people attempt to balance social distancing with keeping to safe habits. Reminder that as per the Beis Din of Crown Heights and medical professionals, anyone over the age of 65, and those who are high risk should not be out in public..
After the Rabbonim published a ban on those over the age of 65 from venturing out in public, the Gabboim of 770 posted signs on the doors notifying those over the age not to enter.
