It had to be done in 18 minutes flat.

In a Brooklyn bakery, each fresh batch of Passover matzoh was timed from the moment the flour touched water till the unleavened bread left the oven _ dough worked fast to keep it from rising.

It must stay flat “to remind us of when the Jews went out of Egypt and they didn't have time to let the bread rise,” said Chana Drizin, a 10-year-old bakery volunteer perched atop a woodpile that helped fueled the oven's roaring flames.

Brooklyn matzohs – made the same way for 3,000 years

Last week a large vehicle carrier was seen on Kingston Ave. unloading brand new minivans. These are the minivans that were advertised on the left hand side of this site, as the deal of the month from Leasing Direct. To those people who purchased the deal, the shipment arrived!

From Keeping in Touch by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger, published by Sichos in English

Yud-Alef Nissan is the Lubavitcher Rebbe's birthday. A birthday is more than a day for songs and celebrations. Instead, a birthday is a day when mazalo gover, the spiritual source of a person's soul shines with power. When we say “the spiritual source of a person's soul,” we mean something more than our conscious thought powers. We have our thoughts and our feelings. And then we possess an inner spiritual core from which those thoughts and feelings spring forth. This spiritual core is the mazal that shines powerfully on a person's birthday.

Since a person's mazal shines powerfully on that day, he should use its influence to focus on his individual mission and align all the particular elements of his life with it. As the Previous Rebbe taught, on a birthday a person should spend time in solitude, thinking over the purpose of his life, correcting those matters that need to be amended, and making resolutions with regard to his conduct in the future.

Motzoai Shabbos at around 12:45am 4 shots rang out on President St. between Utica and Rochester right across the street from ‘Frankel Shul’ as well as a few other Jewish families. A male black was shot and killed. This also happens to be right around the corner of where Efraim Klein was shot and killed.

What appears to have happened was a gunman shot at the victim 4 times striking him at least once where he seemed to have made it to the sidewalk behind an SUV where he collapsed. One of the 4 shots hit the SUV shattering the passenger side window and another of the shots seems to have gone through the front window of a nearby house.

This time there was a litter of shell casings and a blood trail. Numerous investigators and Uniformed Police officers swarmed the area, taping off the crime scene and were searching for more clues as to what had happened. This may be the time to note that the NYPD have had not had any progress to report on the Klein case since the night of the murder.

With profound sadness we inform you of the passing of R. Yitzchok Nemes of Crown Heights. The Levaya will be today [Sunday] and will be leaving from the ‘Shomrei Hadaas’ Chapel at 12:00pm following it will pass 770 at around 1:00pm.

R. Yitzchok was known for his great and unique Mesirus to Mivtzah Tefillin. He was also known for his dealing in rare stamps, and the known story in which the Rebbe told him to delay his trip to Managua the capitol of Nicaragua, which advice he heeded and was therefore saved, since a massive earthquake struck dealing devastating damage to the city.
