The black paint was still fresh on the swastikas when members of the Chai Center walked into their synagogue on de Courtrai Ave. for sabbath prayers yesterday morning.

On the walls and windows of the synagogue in the Cote des Neiges area, the vandals had left five swastikas, a damaged Star of David and three “SS” signs – synonymous with the dreaded Nazi death squads.

But when a member of the congregation called Montreal police last night, he was told constables were “extremely busy” and a patrol would only be made available this morning, a distraught Rabbi Yossi Kessler told The Gazette.

Maple Street Shul celebrates 34th annual Melava Malka

This past Motzoai Shabbos Vayaikel-Pekudei, The Maple Street Shul celebrated its 34th annual Melava Malka. The shul which has always been on the border of Crown heights has been maintained through the dedicated work of its President rabbi Eli Moishe Blachman.

At the Melava Malka the refurbished reception was dedicated to the memory of HaChossid R. Berl Junik. R. Berl was very close to Beis Horav. At the Melava Malka his son a Mispallal in the Shul related many stories he personally had with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin.

3 Alarm Fire Burns House Down To The Frame

10 minutes before Shabbos was over the sound of sirens filled the air, and fire trucks were seen rushing from all directions to the scene of a massive fire on Brooklyn Ave. and Rutland Rd. what started out as a smoke condition quickly turned into a Mayday then a Second Alarm Then immediately a Third Alarm.

A fire fighter that was inside checking out the smoke condition got trapped on the second floor and called a Mayday and was then forced to jump, being as high that it was, they positioned the bucket ladder and the fire fighter jumped into it getting lightly injured, numerous other firefighters were injured from smoke inhalation. The fire was particularly hard to put out, due to the fact that it was so badly embedded in the building, time and time again the fire kept coming back from different parts. The fire lasted for over an hour.

Well over 40 Fire Trucks and Ladders responded with even more Ambulances and Special Services Vehicles.

A New Jersey Community Joins Together Again, This Time to Mourn

The New York Times

With its swimming pools and putting greens, reading clubs and bowling leagues, the Ponds retirement community bustles with so many organized activities that some residents view it as a kind of summer camp for their sunset years.

At first glance it is the picture of impersonal suburban conformity: 577 condominium units spread across former farmland just east of the New Jersey Turnpike near Princeton. But at the center of the neighborhood is the Clubhouse, a sprawling building where the development becomes a community.
