Hollywood · A tense encounter between a police officer and Justice Department employee last week outside a controversial synagogue has sparked outrage from both sides and demands that supervisors investigate.

The U.S. Department of Justice is locked in a legal battle with Hollywood over alleged religious discrimination by the city.

In 2005, the agency joined the Chabad Lubavitch's lawsuit, filed in 2004, against Hollywood over the city's attempts to oust the Chabad from the single-family home it had converted into a synagogue in Hollywood Hills.

In this week's double portion the Torah relates how the vessels and priestly garments of the Tabernacle were actually made by the Jewish people and it is basically a repetition of what we read just two weeks ago in Parshat Trumah-Tetzaveh when G-d told Moses what He wanted made.

At first glance this is not understood.

Why did the Torah have to repeat an entire section when it could have said the whole thing in one sentence: “And the Jews did what G-d said and made all these vessels and garments”?

Crates containing the remains of 10 of 12 bus crash victims arrive at the airport from a morgue in Arica, Chile, Friday, March, 24, 2006. The tourists were returning to their cruise ship from an excursion to Lauca National Park when their bus plunged off the rugged highway near Arica, 1,250 miles north of Santiago, said Juan Carlos Poli, an Arica city spokesman. The bus, which had a capacity of 16 passengers, was destroyed. (AP Photo/Santiago Llanquin)

Rabbi Leibel Miller was in Chile on Thursday dealing with how to return bodies to the United States - and the ticking clock of Jewish law.

Miller, of Hallandale Beach, Fla., was in the desert “in the middle of nowhere,” he said, rushing to get the dead home to New Jersey following Wednesday's accident when 14 Celebrity Cruise ship tourists in a van careened off a Chilean mountainside. A dozen died and two were injured.

Miller needed to bring the bodies home by the Sabbath beginning Friday at sundown. Jewish law prohibits flying on the Sabbath, and the law also requires the dead be buried as quickly as possible.
