Embarrassing Mugging Circumstances

At around 9:15 earlier tonight, three bochurim were mugged on the corner of Albany Ave and St. Johns. Just blocks from a jewish building. The mugging occurred while the 22- 23 year old bochurim were conversing, during which there was a cash exchange, at that point a couple of black teenagers ran by and grabbed the cash (Aprox. $200) and sped away on their bikes.

Shomrim were called, and arrived on scene within minutes, who searched the area for the teenagers, but to no avail.

We would like to remind our readers; it’s the summer time, which usually coincides with a spike in crime, especially at night. Please be careful, and if you see something call Shomrim at (718) 774-3333.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Boca Raton, FL – Suzanne Goldberg drives to Boca Raton from her home west of Boynton Beach each month to use a mikvah, or ritual bath.

Goldberg’s three-year commute to Boca Raton Synagogue will be over soon. A $400,000 mikvah is expected to be ready by the end of this month at her synagogue, Chabad-Lubavitch of Greater Boynton Beach, at 10655 El Clair Ranch Road.

“The Jewish community in Boynton Beach has been steadily growing over the last decade,” said Goldberg, 31. “In recent years, we have seen a large influx of young families. Having our own mikvah will not only serve the needs of all these new families, but it will help to sustain our growth as a community.”
