Members of the Jewish faith are celebrating the dedication of their new house of worship today. Members of the group Chabad Lubavitch of Utah simply outgrew their meeting house, but their Rabbi has had his eye on this building for many years.

The long-anticipated dedication day for one Jewish congregation has arrived. Rabbi Benny Zippel shows us the sanctuary.

Amherst, MA — Bradley N. Skikne, a 22-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an emergency medical technician, lost his life Sunday after rescuing another just a half hour before, police said.

“His desire and pleasure was to help people,” said Bradley’s parents, Michael, 52, and Michele, 49, in a statement to the Advocate. “He touched and enriched our lives beyond comprehension.”

Bradley, a Middleton native, lost control of his 2004 Toyota Matrix on Amherst Road in Pelham when his car careened into an embankment and then flipped over, according to Pelham Police Department Chief Edward Fleury. Skikne, who was not wearing a seatbelt, died instantly, Fleury said. Police are still investigating whether speed was a factor.
