Baruch Dayan Hoemes – R. Berel Kievman OBM

It is with immense sorrow we that we were informed of the passing of the venerable Chossid and Tomim Harav Shalom Dov Ber Kievman, z“l , a resident of Kfar Chabad. He passed away this passed Sunday, Chof Nissan.

Reb Berel Kievman was the son of the HaRav HaChossid R. Dovid Harodoker, zt”l, a renowned Chossid of the Rebbe Rashab, zy”a who it was said on him that he was a ‘Beinoni’. Reb Berel was known as a genius well versed in both ‘Nigleh’ and Chassidus. Those who spoke with him immediately were baffled by his phenomenal memory and brilliance. He was a walking encyclopedia.

Shore Line Times
Branford, CT — When it comes to Passover, Rabbi Yossi Yaffe knows how to get just about everyone in the spirit.

After distributing over 400 Passover gift bags to shoreline families for the seventh year in a row, Yaffe, director of Chabad of the Shoreline, has once again proved his commitment to helping others grow in their Jewish heritage.

“We're based in Branford, but we serve all the shoreline towns,” says Yaffe. “It makes [Passover] real so we can live and experience it, so it is not just abstract.”

Got matzah? This Rabbi has the Spirit of Passover

The marketers of Splenda have made millions by confusing consumers into thinking the yellow packets contain a natural product and not an artificial sweetener, its chief rival told a jury Tuesday in a trial that pits Splenda against its rivals in the $355 million market for sugar substitutes.

Splenda has cornered the $1.5 billion market for sugar substitutes since its 2000 debut through false advertising that implies Splenda contains sugar, the manufacturer of Equal says.

Jerusalem, Israel — Recent interrogations of arrested members of Hamas in the West Bank town of Qalqilya produced information that the Islamic organization there was planning imminent terrorist attacks against Israel, including one using a large truck bomb, the Israeli Shin Bet internal security service said Tuesday.

Hamas, which is now the dominant faction in the Palestinian government, has not conducted suicide attacks within Israel since 2004 and has been committed to an Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip since November. People who usually speak for Hamas would not react to the Shin Bet report on Tuesday, apparently in an attempt to not lend the allegations any credence.
