Sukkah Mobiles Achieve Over 80,000 Lulav Shakes!

As previously reported, here, on CrownHeights.info; this year Sukkos came with some big surprises: the biggest Sukkah Mobiles ever hit the streets of NYC. Three Mega-Sukkah-Trucks were positioned around midtown Manhattan and have reportedly accomplished some really big results with some 2,000 Lulav shakes at each truck on each day of Sukkos.

Bochurim have been out doing Mivtzoim as early as 8am and went on until sunset. There were a total of 38 Sukkah Mobiles belonging to Mitzvah Tank Org. throughout the Metro Area. A rough average of all the reports from the individual Sukkah Mobiles, over the four and a half days of Mivtzoim gives us a total of more than 80,000 lulav shakes.

2 Car Accident with Injuries on Eastern Pkwy and Brooklyn Ave.

Early Thursday morning at around 3:30am a series of loud bangs we heard throughout the intersection of Eastern Parkway and Brooklyn Ave and bystanders that had come to see what had taken place watched in horror how one SUV with severe damage to its right side and its driver still trapped inside the car.

According to witnesses they say that one car, a Pontiac Sedan, tried to make a right turn unto Brooklyn Ave from the middle lane striking the Chevy SUV in the left side and sending it into two light and traffic signal poles. The driver of the SUV’s leg got stuck in the center dash but he managed to release himself and exit his vehicle where he got down on the floor and EMS who had arrived on scene began treating him for his injuries. The driver who was not Jewish was alone in his car, while the other car had both a driver and a passenger who are both Jewish, the passenger refused medical attention but the driver was transported by Hatzalah to Kings County Hospital for observation.

Jewish Review
Following the completion and dedication of
the first Torah apparently written specifically
for Eugene, Torah sponsor Zusha Tenenbaum
carried the new scroll out of the University of
Oregon's Knight Library for a celebration in
the city's streets. Two UO students Adam
Newman, right front, and Michael Galen,
right rear, hold the chuppah over the Torah.

About 200 people gathered at the University of Oregon's Knight Library Sept. 27 to see the completion of the first Torah reportedly written especially for the community of Eugene.

When asked, local Jewish leaders did remember the creation of a Torah previously.

Commissioned by the UO Chabad House, the community Torah was funded by numerous community members, including UO students, with a friend of Chabad House's Rabbi Asi Spiegel picking up the tab for the balance of the $36,000 scroll. Zusha Tenenbaum, a Florida businessman, dedicated the Torah to his late father Rabbi Aaron Tenenbaum, one of Spiegel's teachers who introduced him to the Chabad movement.
