Burglary at F.R.E.E.

Earlier this afternoon there was a burglary in the offices of F.R.E.E. [Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe] on President Street between Kingston and Brooklyn. The incident took place between 4:00pm and 4:20pm.

The Shul was locked at 4:00pm after Mincha and was reopened at 4:20pm for Maariv when one of the people inside noticed a largely built male Black estimated in his 30’s exit the building. He asked the other person if they were expecting any deliveries to which he answered to the negative and immediately ran upstairs to check on the offices upstairs where he saw the door to the library was kicked in and one of the offices ransacked.

Private school for Jewish girls planned in Tamarac

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Tamarac, FL — The first high school in this city is scheduled to open later this year — a private, orthodox Jewish school for girls.

The local Chabad Lubavitch community has agreed to pay $4 million for an old, three-story bank building on 8100 N. University Drive, south of Northwest 82nd Street. Classes are set to begin in the fall, pending a city permit for remodeling.

Many of the students are expected to come from Coral Springs, home to one of the largest Chabad Lubavitch communities in Broward County. Chabad Lubavitch is an ultra-orthodox, Hasidic branch of Judaism that has several synagogues in the county, including ones in Coconut Creek, Plantation and Weston, two in Fort Lauderdale and three in Hollywood.
