The 18th Annual Kosherfest

The annual two day Expo in which food vendors and distributors gather in the Jacob K. Javits Center and display their produces and services brought out around 285 different companies. Though significantly smaller then last years massive show it was a mixed bag of feelings from the exhibitors, most said that the turnout this year was not beneficial to their business while few others said that they felt that the new configuration helped somewhat.

Last year the Expo spanned across the entire floor, this year it took up only a half, leaving space for two other shows, the Asian and Latina food expos, which some vendors said that helped bring in a more diversified crowed and get more exposure for kosher foods.

Lubavitch owned companies on hand this were included DUSO food Distributors, Rubashkins Aarons Best Poultry, OK Kashrus and NY Pasta.

Wednesday morning one of the bus drivers for Lubavitcher Yeshiva was inspecting his bus before setting out to pick up and bring the children to school, when he noticed two swastikas on one of the windows.

They were done with a finger in the dust and dirt that’s on the window cleaning off that area and leaving the swastika marks on it. Police were not called and no report has been filed, the markings were wiped clean.

Prior to screening the Disengagement film ‘Behold There Came a Great Wind,’ which was shown at the Jewish Children’s Museum Theater, Mrs. Baila Kamman introduced the film by speaking about an article written by Rabbi Yehoshua S. Hecht and posted on Arutz Sheva on August 6th, 2006. Click Here to read the article

The article tells the story of the Arizal diverting a plague of locusts. The plague was decreed because a certain unfortunate individual complained about his bitter lot, and no one came to help him. The plague was diverted when the students of the Arizal came to help the individual – just in time!

Police and other emergency officials gather around a Cessna 172 that made an emergency landing in Calvert Vaux Park on Tuesday, November 14, 2006. photo: Charles Eckert

A pilot made an unexpected but relatively smooth landing on a muddy field near Coney Island Tuesday morning — then calmly summed up his aeronautical adventure as a “walk in the park.”

Paul Dudley, 51, was heading to New Jersey's Linden Municipal Airport, which he manages, when he sensed a mechanical problem with his single-engine Cessna 172.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Rabbi Shimon of Yaroslav lived to a ripe old age. When asked what the secret of his longevity was, he would respond in jest: “When a person is in the habit of complaining about the injustices of life and G-d’s mismanagement of the universe, he is called back to heaven where he is shown the overall scheme of things – how G-d is indeed just and kind. Since I always accept Divine judgment there was never a need to call me back to heaven. Thus my long life.”
The story is told about a student of the renowned Magid of Mezritch who complained that he cannot, for the life of him, comprehend the Talmudic statement that one is obligated to bless G-d for the bad in his life, as he is inclined to do over the good.
