At around 2:05pm yesterday (Tuesday) people observed smoke coming out of a home on Montgomery Street between Kingston and Albany and immediately called 911. FDNY responded with 4 trucks and 2 ladder trucks and began battling a fire in the second floor kitchen where the fire apparently started.

About 20 minutes after FDNY arrived on scene they had subdued the fire and confirmed it being out. One fire fighter suffered a light injury to his knee and was taken by EMS to a local hospital. This fire comes as the outside temperature reached a scorching 103 degrees and fire personnel weren’t taking any chances of the fire spreading.

Photos By Shaya Katz – Shturem.net

Sunday, Chof Alef Tammuz was the birthday of R. Meir Itkin which was marked with a lively Farbrengen, which he led, in his home on Eastern Parkway. A prominent fixture at the Farbrengen was the ‘Raineh Mashkeh’ which R. Meir is known to make Kiddush with on Shabbos.

During the Farbrengen R. Meir related memories and stories from his childhood, with his clear voice and clear memory. We wish R. Meir many more Healthy and Happy Years!

United in Israel, United With Israel

Rabbi Kutner visits with a child who suffered injuries when a rocket hit her Safed home, wounding her mother and her four siblings.

Israel is a country at war, but the determination among all of its normally quibbling factions to end its vulnerability to terror makes it a country now dominated by a deep sense of unity.
