Israelis in the Diaspora: Seeking a Jewish Identity

Rivka Chaya Berman – Lubavitch.com
Community Feast Chabad Israeli Center, Staten Island, NY

Just eighteen months ago, Mira Zomer hugged her family and friends in Ranana goodbye, a pretty suburb in Israel, and boarded a plane for Toronto. Transitioning from “shalom” to “hello” didn’t jar Zomer, a capable English speaker, as much as the pinch of being a stranger in a strange land. The pain eased, somewhat, when she found her new job at Beth Chabad Israeli Community Centre of Toronto.

Everyone speaks rapid-fire Hebrew at the Centre. Voicemail announcements are in Hebrew. Program flyers ditto. “It makes the whole process so much easier, coming to a new country and adjusting,” said Zomer.

Officer Lee (L) and Officer Ditto questioning the driver of the bike

Tuesday Evening our infamous Police car number 1474 pulled a real dangerous one. A guy on a motorcycle went down the wrong way on Kingston Ave coming from Eastern Pkwy. Then turned right onto Union St.. That is when the Police car saw him and went after him in hot pursuit down Union St. going the wrong way untill New York Ave. where they made a right towards Eastern Pkwy. where they finally stopped the motorcycle.

The motorcycle is a small one that we see black teenagers ride around; these bikes are illegal for street use. That, coupled with the way the teen was driving prompted this wild chase.

The chase was one of the greatest displays of recklessness on behalf of the NYPD, the dangers it put everyone in, at the intersection of New York and Union they nearly got into a triple accident, all of which would have been head on, pedestrians that would have not been looking that way when crossing, and being that Union St is so narrow it can only accommodate one car and that's not mentioning how fast they were driving. It's a miracle nothing happened.

Chof Ches Nissan, 15 years from the Rebbes cry “All that I can possibly do is to give the matter over to you. Now, do everything you can to bring Moshiach, here and now, immediately.”

To listen to the Sicha Click Here. (Sichos.com)

“How is it that the Redemption has not yet been attained? That despite all that has transpired and all that has been done, Moshiach has still not come?

”What more can I do? I have done all I can to bring the world to truly demand and clamor for the Redemption…. The only thing that remains for me to do is to give over the matter to you. Do all that is in your power to achieve this thing—a most sublime and transcendent light that needs to be brought down into our world with pragmatic tools….

“I have done all I can. I give it over to you. Do all that you can to bring the righteous redeemer, immediately!

“I have done my part. From this point on, all is in your hands.”
