New Antennas for Sprint/Nextel

Today [Sunday] the service lane on Eastern Pkwy. between Brooklyn & Kingston was blocked off and heavy machinery and cranes were brought in. everyone was wondering what it was for, well since the cell phone company’s Sprint and Nextel merged they were upgrading the antennas so they can support the new system’s. The old computers were replaced with new ones and more antennas were added.

Speaking with some of the residents of the building 706 Eastern Pkwy, where the antennas were being installed, they had expressed concern that these antennas disperse harmful radiation, one of them even went and researched and came up with a research study that shows actual harm that they can do. (everything is just a Google search away).

A young Jewish woman in a Nazi concentration camp organized the collection of bread crumbs to help nourish starving orphan children left to fend for themselves.

A group of Jewish men, in the face of certain death, sang of their hope in God as Nazi soldiers marched them to gas chambers.

Rietta Miller of Norman said she was inspired by these stories from the Holocaust told during a Jewish Learning Institute class taking place Thursday nights at the Belle Isle Library.

Taught by Ovadia Goldman, rabbi with the Chabad Jewish Center of Oklahoma City, the class has helped Miller and others see past the tribulation of the Holocaust to the hope in humanity.

Rabbi Pinchas Reizes was a chassid of the second Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Dovber of Lubavitch (known as the "Mittler Rebbe"). When Rabbi Pinchas passed away, his only heir was a nephew, who unfortunately was a complete scoundrel.

Among the items that came into the nephew's possession was a letter written by the Rebbe to his uncle, asking Rabbi Pinchas to serve on a special committee to disburse funds for charity. The sum cited in the letter was 4,000 rubles.

Thursday night a young Bochur (13) on his way home from Yeshiva, passed a black boy who was around the age of 13 to 14 years old, who started to call him by racial slurs and taunt him. When the Bochur didn’t respond with violence the boy grabbed the Bochurs hat off his head and ran.

The Bochur then rushed to the nearest phone and called Shomrim who put out a description of the boy and began canvassing the area for him immediately, after being unsuccessful in finding him they took the Bochur home and called the police and filed a police report.

During the time they were filing the report a phone call to the Bochurs house came from a pawn shop saying the he has the Bochurs hat! What happened was that this perp after taking the Bochurs hat, he had jumped on a city bus and got to Atlantic Ave. and Fulton St. and walked into a pawn shop and tried to sell it to the pawn broker, who recognized the hat and took it from this boy and chased him away, then went to look for any way to identify the hats owner, inside the lining of the hat was the Bochurs name and home phone number, and the pawn broker called saying that he can come and retrieve the hat! The perp was not caught.

I would like to take this opportunity and mention how important it is to file a police report on any incident relating to racial violence or any crime whatsoever, because a crime not reported is a crime that didn’t happen!
