Over the month of Tishrai Shomrim have received over 30 disturbing complaints of stolen Tefillin. Wednesday night a Shomrim member was approached by a not Frum Israeli guy and offered him a pair of Rabeinu Tam’s Tefillin for $380.

The Shomrim member told him he was interested and was led to where the guy stays and shown the Tefillin which still had the owners name on the velvet bag. Police were called and responded immediately and very soon after a Sergeant came to the scene to handle the situation. Police remained on scene for nearly an hour while Shomrim members located the owner of the Tefillin who was then brought on scene and filed an official complaint.

On Wednesday evening a group of three Israeli Bochurim who were staying with a Jewish family for the month of Tishrai on Midwood St (this is one of two Lubavitch families that lives down there) were held up at gunpoint and were mugged.

The group of Bochurim were making their way up Kingston when they were approached by two black males one of which produced a gun pointed it at the Bochurim and demanded their money. Between the three there was a total of $5 and they quickly turned it over, after which one of the two muggers said to the Bochurim that ‘its dangerous down here, you might get shot. Go home.’ 911 was immediately called and a number of cars responded instantly and quickly began canvassing the area for these perps with the victims, to no avail. They were then taken down to the precinct to fill out a police report.

“I do not expect from you to refrain from sin because of a lack of interest in sin; I want you to abstain from sin because of a lack of time for it.”
-- Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kutzk, to his disciples.

“The world says, 'Time is money.' I say, 'Time if life.'”
-- Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, to my father, Gershon Jacobson in 1985.

Cheating on the Sabbath?

The marvelous invention of the Sabbath — a day in which we put our stressful lives on hold and dedicate every moment to our souls, our loved ones, and our spiritual growth — is introduced in this weeks portion, the opening section of the Bible.

“And G-d saw all that He had made , and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus, the heaven and the earth were completed, and all their array. G-d completed, on the seventh day, His work, which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. G-d blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He ceased from all His work (1).”

Beachwood, OH — Workers this week were seeding a new front lawn and completing other necessary exterior tasks at the Waxman Chabad Center, which opened its doors last winter.

The Chabad Center on Green Road in Beachwood has been a work in progress since ground was broken over five years ago for the mikvah behind the main building. Since then, the city has received complaints about the construction project from Beachwood residents and non-residents, says Bill Griswold, acting Beachwood building commissioner.

A Chabad representative has assured him that a new contractor has been hired to redo the landscaping. “They suggest it will be completed by the end of the week,” Griswold says. “They are 99% complete.”
