After reporting and covering so many such stories it was only a matter of time that such trouble would find me.
Last night, Tuesday, at around 12:30am, I was on my way back from a wedding, walking with a friend on New York Ave and Eastern Pkwy when we were approached by a black youth who asked for the time, after which he asked for a dollar, we brushed him off and continued walking, thats when he began demanding money from us, at which point five of his cohorts began crossing the street towards us.
It was at this time that I pulled my Shomrim radio off my belt and put a distress call over the air and Shomrim members began responding from all over, at the same time my friend and I began chasing the would be muggers who began fleeing upon seeing the radio. The perps all fled up New York Ave, part of the group turned down Lincoln Pl while the rest turned on St Johns Pl. At the same time my friend got on the phone with 911 and was giving updates as to where we were during the chase.

The funeral of Sgt. Alex Assaf, 20, killed by an Israeli mine in Lebanon Tuesday night, has not yet been set. His short life took place in Chernobyl, Kfar Chabad, Bedouin tents, Carmiel and Lebanon.Alex was one of more than 2,500 Russian children brought to Israel over the course of several years by the Chabad movement. Following the explosion of a nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986, the Chabad movement embarked on a major campaign to remove Jewish children from the disaster area, and brought them to Israeli in a series of flights.
Alex arrived on the seventh Chabad flight, and was brought to the Israeli town of Kfar Chabad in 1991 at the age of 6. He lived there for five years, until his mother arrived from Russia and took him into her custody. She was unable to care for him properly, however, and lived with him in Bedouin tents and the like. Finally, Alex was placed in the care of a loving family from Carmiel. His adoptive mother, Tziporah, said that he was a very lovable boy, and was a loving younger brother to her four other children.

“Though summer still lingered and the day was bright and sunny, there was a change in the air. One smelled already the Elul-scent; a teshuvah-wind was blowing. Everyone grew more serious, more thoughtful... All awaited the call of the shofar, the first blast that would announce the opening of the gates of the month of mercy....”So describes the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (1880-1920), the onset of the month of Elul in the town of Lubavitch. A month of trepidation on account of the approaching “Days of Awe” of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; but also a gentle month, softened by the reconciliatory prophesies of the “Seven of Consolation” read during this time and the vibes of divine compassion that linger from the time that Moses spent the whole of Elul on the summit of Mount Sinai procuring G-d's wholehearted forgiveness for Israel's first sin.

New Book: A Place of Their Own 1971-1979
Practical advice given by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in helping young people arriving in Israel from the Soviet Union in the 70’s. Mostly university graduates but without any traditional Jewish knowledge they required a fresh psychological and sociological programme under their own control and not identified with any political party. Only this way, when they could be recognised, welcomed and respected with time and opportunity to adjust could they begin to bring their special contribution of idealism and intellectual vigour to Israeli Society. Based on original records of meetings at the highest level of the Israeli political establishment this book tells the story how the organisation SHAMIR founded by Peter Kalms with the invaluable commitment of Professor Herman Branover was able to significantly alter the outdated bureaucratic immigration policies which had initially led to hostility and even re-emigration.

I’ve just read an autobiographical summary of R’ Yisroel Meir Lau, former chief rabbi of Israel. He speaks about the childhood of which he was robbed, growing up during the Holocaust.I read how he was orphaned from his parents in his tender years. How, as a five-year old boy, he witnessed a member of the Gestapo rain down one murderous blow after another on his father.
He describes the anger, the humiliation, and the pain in seeing his father and hero beaten with a club, kicked by hobnailed boots and degraded while mustering the inhumane strength to stand upright and not beg for mercy.
