Remember? Will this reoccur?

The city's 33,000 union transit workers, one month to the day after they stranded 7 million riders with a crippling three-day strike, voted Friday to reject their new three-year contract.

The workers, by a seven-vote margin out of more than 22,000 votes cast, opted to reject Transport Workers Union local president Roger Toussaint's call for ratification and follow the lead of a dissident group urging rejection. The voting ended at noon Friday.

Toussaint announced the surprising vote at a Manhattan news conference.

On the 8th day, these brothers rock

Jewish News Weekly
8th Day in concert on the City Walk this past Chanukah

Growing up in Southern California, Yossi Marcus and his brothers loved to turn Shabbat into their own personal Woodstock.

With family and guests gathered round the dinner table, the Marcus brothers sang their own arrangements of traditional Jewish songs, developing a keen instinct for harmony. And, somewhere along the line, for rock ’n’ roll.

Now many years later, the brothers have banded together to form 8th Day, perhaps the only rock band to boast three Chassidic rabbis in the line-up. Yossi Marcus is the rabbi of Chabad of San Mateo, while two of his brothers run Chabad centers in the greater L.A. area.

This week's section begins the awesome saga of the 210 year imprisonment and miraculous escape of an entire nation. Never even vaguely similar in history has anything occurred nor has any religion or nation even claimed so; the scope and depth of these events simply defies human imagination.

But, after all, the story of Exodus is not understood from the beginning.

Why did the Jews have to go into slavery?

Boaz Dvir - Sun Sentinel
Center credited with boosting Jewish activity.
R. Berel Goldman with a group of students

Every Friday night during the fall and spring semesters, 250 Gators trade chicken wings and Miller Light for chicken soup and Manischewitz at Rabbi Berl Goldman's house near the University of Florida.

Most of them are not religious; nor are they the geeks you'd expect to find at a rabbi's house on a Friday night. They look more like fraternity brothers hosting a group of sorority sisters, or vice versa.

A few years ago, this scene would have been a mirage in the Jewish culture desert. Young Jews wanted little to do with Judaism. But today, they show a growing appetite for spiritual and cultural connectivity.

Surrounded by men in long, black coats and long, white beards, Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi took his young campaign for governor into the heart of Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish community yesterday - and he didn't forget his Hebrew.

"Good morning to everyone - Boker Tov," Suozzi bellowed, greeting local leaders at a breakfast in Borough Park. He grinned as he repeated the salutation in Hebrew, then threw in some Yiddish for good measure.

The first day of Suozzi's listening tour of New York State had a distinctly Jewish flavor. He spoke on a Jewish-themed radio program, attended the breakfast, visited an Orthodox school, met with Jewish editorial writers, and last night presented an award at an autism awareness dinner sponsored by a Jewish group in Manhattan.
