As you all know that tonight is the last night of Simchas Bais Hashuaiva with music, and the organizers of the event have a “special guest” for us tonight. I’ve heard rumors that it may be Matisyahu.
I wanted to know if any of you know or think you know who it is. Post your opinion/guess in the comments.

There is a famous saying about politics "Politics makes strange bedfellows", of course I'm hoping that people won't take the above sentence in it's literal sense – to avoid some serious halachic and moralistic complications.Many pleasantly surprising alliances are taking place at these times; people who once fought neck-to-neck are now aligning themselves to destroy a common evil.
Do you remember the "Dollars" scene? Who were the main actors in that episode? The answers may be quite surprising. Normal, sensible, and truth-seeking people have finally come to ends with their senses and have awakened to a terrible by-product which was only recently created by themselves.

Motzoai Shabbos Simchas Bais Hashuaiva
Shabbos was cold and rainy and it did not ease up till late into Motzoai Shabbos (around 12:00am). Avremi G. brought his band and Yacov Young did the singing. There was a light crowed but eventually it filled up and turned out very nice.
Among the guests we had were Senator [D 20th Dis.] Carl Andrews, and Council Woman [25th Dis.] Letitia James, who got up on the stage and both blessed the crowd with “A Gut Yom Tov, A Gut Yom Tov, A Gut Yom Tov”. Then we had Lt. Cantwell and Sgt. Troyce get up on the stage, and they blessed the crowd and related the fact that they were happy to be working with R. Yisroel Shemtov once more, since they had been working with him on the Simchas Bais Hashuaiva security for over 20 Years.
At 3:30am Avremi G. band finished for the night and Yossi Cohen Band went up for the remainder of the night.

Man gains deeper insight through spirtual quest
Tennessean
Michael Doochin’s 7½-year quest to gain a deeper understanding of an important Jewish text concludes today.
He studied the five books that make up the Tanya with Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel of Congregation Beit Tefilah in Bellevue for at least an hour and a half to three hours a week since March 1998.
The men met almost every week over the years to focus on a few pages at a time of the text, which contemplates the metaphysical aspects of God, creation, Judaism and the human soul, Doochin said. “Judaism has this incredible heritage and all this time, I’ve rediscovered aspects of it,” said the Nashvillian, adding that he gained deeper insight about purpose and the meaning of life.
