Palo Alto, CA — In the old days, a young Chabad couple “going out” on shlichus — becoming outreach emissaries — usually would be sent to a new city or college campus to set up a Chabad center.

As Chabad outposts proliferated in the late 1980s and into the ’90s, however, the playing field became quite crowded.

Some young couples still can find virgin territory for their rebbe’s message, but more often these young Lubavitch rabbis and their wives are signing on now as second or third couples at established Chabad centers. They fill positions such as preschool teacher, for her, or adult education director, for him.

For emissaries in a crowded field, Friendship Circles become popular

Palo Alto, CA — Micah Abraham is standing on a stool in his parents’ kitchen, stirring a bowl of brownie mix.

“Frosting?” the 7-year-old asks Daphna Davidowitz, 16, his Friendship Circle volunteer.

“Not yet,” she cautions.

“When brownies done, we put on frosting?” Micah persists.

New York, NY — The city comptroller released a report accusing the auto insurance industry of price-gouging.

Comptroller Bill Thompson says the car insurance industry has raised premiums between 2000 and 2005 by nearly 29-percent, raking in 10 and a half billion dollars from premiums in 2005 alone. He also found companies were decreasing payouts for claims by more than 20 percent.

Thompson's report says drivers in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens are especially hard hit. He says it's not just a matter of customers shopping around for lower rates.

Kosher meals are pre-packaged, microwavable

Samantha Staley remembers the struggles of eating in the dormitories.

Having been raised on kosher food, her options at the dining halls were limited and she joked that she lived off cereal as an underclassman.

“My friends would be eating chicken fingers and I couldn't join them because I was kosher,” said Staley, now a junior in LAS.
