Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky dances with his son, Mendel, 4, after placing a Torah rescued from New Orleans in the Chabad Jewish Center of Monroe.

A piece of New Orleans and Jewish history now rests permanently at a two-story corner home along Gravel Hill Road.

The home belongs to Rabbi Eliezer and Chanie Zaklikovsky, directors of the Chabad Jewish Center in Monroe. And the piece of history, a white Torah with golden script, traveled a long way from New Orleans to their doorstep.

Chabad members Freida and Leonard Posnock brought the Torah from Congregation Beth Israel in New Orleans, days before Hurricane Katrina destroyed the historic synagogue. The synagogue's remaining Torahs were buried in hardened mud and ruined.

Over coffee one day with Shuli Rand, a friend who had given up acting for a life of prayer and study among Israel's strictly Orthodox Hasidim, the director Gidi Dar, a secular Israeli Jew, was struck by a way to close the widening gap between them.

"What if I do a movie on your turf, with your rules, in your world?" Mr. Dar recalled asking Mr. Rand.

Shuli Rand, who gave up acting to become a Hasid, returns to the screen in "Ushpizin," set in Jerusalem's Orthodox community. Mr. Rand wrote the film.

Teenager Shot by Police After iPod Robbery

I would like to take this opportunity to warn our readers about the danger in listening to your iPod in the street and in the subway. The New York City police reported that an increase in subway crime this year was driven almost entirely by a sharp rise in robberies and thefts of cellphones and especially of iPods, which have become a totem of prosperous urban life. Many of the victims are young people who are robbed after school.

So please if you are you listen to your iPod in public try to use another pair of headphones

The New York Times

A Brooklyn teenager matching the description of someone who had just committed an armed robbery was in stable condition last night after being shot twice by two police lieutenants, the police said.

The shooting occurred about 7 p.m. on Dean Street near Carlton Avenue, after four men, one of whom brandished what looked like a silver handgun with a black grip, approached a man outside a liquor store at Flatbush and St. Marks Avenues and demanded his iPod, according to a police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was in its earliest stages.
