(CBS) NEW YORK — A picture may be worth a thousands words, but if the photo is of a police officer’s personal car parked illegally, you may need some of those words to talk your way out of a pair of handcuffs.

Three people said recently police detained them for nothing more than taking pictures on public, New York City sidewalks.

It happened to Jan Lee. The Chinatown businessman, frustrated by city employees parking illegally in front of his antique store on Mott Street, decided to start documenting the abuses.

At around 10:45pm on President between Kingston and Brooklyn a Mexican worker who resides at the construction site next to the school on the corner of Brooklyn Ave and protects the site, entered the house, which is easily accessible, and by his account was jumped by one or two Black males, and was assaulted and robbed.

The Mexican worker, not knowing a word of English, made his way stumbling down Kingston Ave to Kol-Tuv where he knew a worker who he told what had happened and he in turn called police. Response time was instant, 7 police cars showed up and began searching the house which turned up nothing. When taking the statement from the victim police officers noticed the man smelled of alcohol and began questioning if this whole incident even took place. Just to be sure they took him around for a canvass of the area for the two alleged Black males, which yielded no results either.

Mr. Greens Vegetables for the Needy Campaign

Building on the success of previous Fruit and Vegetable distribution for this past Pesach, Mr. Greens has done it again, donating pallets of Fruits and Vegetables for the needy.

The produce was set up on the corner of Albany and Union where the people lined up received what they needed. From early in the morning the owners were seen unloading the pallets onto the sidewalk and laying it all out in a neat and organized fashion.

One of the owners, Shloime Klein told CrownHeights.info that after last Pesach’s article on CrownHeights.info he was approached by several individuals who wanted to help with the cost of the program, and that he would like to thank those people that allowed him make this years program bigger than ever.

In response to the numerous comments that have been posted to my previous letters, i would like to address some of them and hope that this letter will clarify the purpose of my original letters.

My objective was not to inflame the rampant fires that have engulfed us all, but rather to point out the fervor of dissention that we have witnessed since the elections three years ago. I did not place the blame on any one Rov, and had no intention of publicly besmirching a Rov. I simply noted that this public debacle began at that time.

It is regretful that those that wish to misconstrue my words are using them as fodder for further controversy.

Yom Kippur is now behind us, but one chicken was left behind, hanging around Eastern Pkwy between Kingston and Albany is a lone chicken that was being chased by young children. A concerned resident told CrownHeights.info that he was working with Animal Control and the NYPD to find a new home for the poor chicken. ;-)

Miami Herald
Cooper City, FL - Rabbi Shmuel Posner has spent years trying to reopen his Chabad outreach center in a Griffin Road shopping center.

Although proposed Cooper City zoning changes still would prevent him from returning the orthodox center to its former storefront home, it would give him more options in picking a new location.

Cooper City commissioners tonight will introduce zoning changes to allow churches and other places of worship in office parks and park/recreation districts. This would allow places of worship like Posner's outreach center, Chabad Nova, to open in office buildings or in city parks and recreation areas. The changes still would not allow them in commercial districts, like shopping centers or retail developments, where the city does not permit places of worship or community assembly.

Shanghai, China - Dina Greenberg is back home in Shanghai. Back to her multiple leading lady and supportive roles at the Chabad Center of Shanghai; it’s headed by her husband Rabbi Shalom Greenberg, the first rabbi to serve in Shanghai in over 50 years. With school starting for the fall semester and the Jewish holidays around the corner, Rabbi Greenberg is happy to have his family back.

Dina and the four children — Mendel, 7, Chaya, 5, Levi, 3, and Chana, 11 months — spent several wonderful weeks of vacation on home grounds at the University Heights home of her parents, Devorah and Rabbi Leibel Alevsky. They were enveloped with love and warmth by Dina’s meshpochah and her many friends in Cleveland.

It was wonderful, Dina says, “not to have to disinfect vegetables and to drink water from the tap, niceties that we can’t do in Shanghai.”
