On Tes Vov of each month, when the moon is at its fullest, the Rebbe would go to the Ohel to daven.
Burbank, CA – Members of a Judaic movement that has a history of more than 250-years reached a milestone in Burbank on Sunday with the opening Soussana Family Jewish Chabad Center.
The ribbon cutting brought more than 200 people to the Chabad Center throughout the day, including Burbank City Councilman Dave Gordon and Jack and Elka Soussana, the Chabad Center’s major donors.
“Because of them and their generous donations we are able to get into this building,” Janice Kormandel, one of the center’s participants said of the Soussana’s and the many other contributing families.
Chabad of Burbank will offer programs including children’s education, prayer and social services and crisis control, making it Burbank’s own Jewish support center, Rabbi Shmuly Kornfeld said.
Tuesday, at around 3:00 in the afternoon a Jewish woman walking on President St between Schenectady and Utica with her two children, was approached by two male Blacks around 20 years of age who pulled out a gun and demanded her ring, the woman removed one of her rings and handed it over the two perps then demanded more, the woman then started yelling and the two perps fled.
The woman then flagged down a Shomrim member who was passing and told him what happened, who in turn called in additional units who began canvassing the area immediately but were unsuccessful in spotting the perps. Police were then called and filed a police report. An important note, this incident took place one house down from where a 20 year old man was shot and killed last night.
Some fellow passengers are questioning why an Orthodox Jewish man was removed from an Air Canada Jazz flight in Montreal last week for praying.
The man was a passenger on a Sept. 1 flight from Montreal to New York City when the incident happened.
The airplane was heading toward the runway at the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport when eyewitnesses said the Orthodox man began to pray.
