Accident On The Corner Of New York & Montgomery

At around 5:40pm this evening [Tuesday] a Lubavitcher woman was driving down Montgomery St. and when crossing the intersection of New York Ave. a car slammed into the side of her car, pushing her up New York Ave a few feet. The other car was being driven by a black woman, apparently she had not paid attention to the red light.

The Lubavitcher woman, who was very shaken up, was transported by Hatzalah to Kings County Hospital just as a precaution, while the other woman didn’t seem to have sustained any injuries and refused medical attention, even though her airbags had deployed.

After spending the better part of this school year's first semester studying a select portion of Maimonides’ “Sefer Hamitzvos”, more than 4,000 boys and girls participated in a series of tests to determine the extent of their knowledge.

This Motzoei Shabbos, March 11, the one-hundred-and-fifty finalists of the girls’ division – from 7 international countries and 16 states in the US – will gather at the Brooklyn School of Music and Theatre for the “Chidon Sefer Hamitzvos” Championship Finals.

The evening promises to be filled with excitement. Beginning at 8pm, the program will include the popular “Jewpardy” gameshow, sure to keep audience members at the edge of their seats. Finalists are seated on the stage in groups of 4 and “ring in” when they think they know the correct answers. The crowd, meanwhile, can view the questions on huge screens throughout the auditorium.

NY Metro On The Tzivos Hashem Exodus Show

CROWN HEIGHTS — Water turns to blood, frogs fall from the ceiling, and the Red Sea parts.

This is an interactive “exodus from Egypt experience” taking over the fourth floor of the Jewish Children’s Museum on Eastern Parkway. It was scheduled to open yesterday, but was postponed as volunteers — mostly yeshiva students from this Lubavitch community — rushed to finish construction.

They expect to be ready this morning for a scheduled tour by girls from a local school, according to Gershon Emmer, a rabbinical student overseeing the installation.

180 members of the Jewish community, Anash and their supporters, participated in a festive Melave Malka to benefit the Gemach-Lubavitch of Philadelphia that had managed to lend out no less than $300,000, as testified by the Shliach, Rabbi Zalman Lipsker. The main donor Dan Rosen was called to the microphone and told the crowd about his first encounter with Lubavitch, which included the tale of a stubborn Bochur and two Shluchim who didn't give up on him.

“This is one of the most important economical organizations in the city”, said one of the participants. Rabbi Dov Brisman of Philadelphia mentioned the importance of connecting business with religion and expressed his wish that donations keep coming in to the Gemach.

A new Chabad on-line function helps people manage their personal lives and Jewish calendars.

MyChabad.org, a feature of Chabad.org, lets people keep track of upcoming Bar Mitzvahs, remember yahrtzeit dates, see what time Shabbat begins and block out time for next year’s holidays. Because Jewish dates shift with the lunar calendar, this function enables users to update important holidays and anniversaries years in advance.
