R.C. Berman - Lubavitch.com

Kfar Chabad, Israel — During the weeklong holiday of Passover, when crisp flatbread represents freedom and horseradish roots the bitterness of slavery, Chabad’s activities can be viewed as so many bridges across Israel’s many divides: secular and religious, terror victim and bystander, immigrant and sabra native, rich and poor. For 50 years, Tel Adashim, southwest of the Kineret, has cultivated its stance as a thoroughly secular town.

South Fallsburg, NY — The Town of Fallsburg remains the epicenter in Sullivan County for interest in developing and expanding bungalow colonies. Of the 14 items before the Planning Board Thursday night, 11 were related to the town's seasonal Orthodox Jewish community. If approved, they would add more than 600 new units with more than 3,000 new residents.

The largest single project on the agenda was Walden Pond, a single and multifamily 350 town house development with 45,000 square feet of commercial space proposed for Woodbourne at Leins Road and Route 52. The Planning Board will send a letter to the Town Board that the developer has been “positively cooperating” with the planning process. The town has conditionally approved the rezoning to a half-acre.

Clark County, WA — Jewish homes prepare for celebration with Burning of the Chametz

As a smell reminiscent of a burning hot dog bun filled his backyard, Rabbi Shmulik Greenberg described the tradition of Burning of the Chametz.

In preparation for Passover, which began at sundown Monday, Jewish homes are cleared of all leavened products. Just tossing the leftover toast in the trash is not enough, explained Greenberg, rabbi of Chabad Lubavitch of Clark County, one of two Jewish congregations in Vancouver.

“It still belongs to us,” he said.
