The fast begins tonight at 3:42am and ends at 9:03pm (These times are for the NY area)

Tammuz 17 is a fast day, devoted to mourning the breaching of Jerusalem's walls and the other tragic events that occurred on this day and repenting and rectifying their causes. We refrain from all food and drink from “daybreak” (about an hour before sunrise, depending on location) until nightfall. Special prayers and Torah readings are added to the day's services.

Shlomo Werde (Crown Heights) to Gila Bensusan (London, UK)

Dr. Levi A. Reiter an Audiologist and professor at the Hofstra University, produced a new CD entitled “NO MACHLOKIS”. That’s right our own Dr. Reiter does the vocals, and Yossi Benshimon does the music. The result is a humorous well executed Rap with a good beat, a bit of an Afro-American twang, Chassidus, and a real message to Jewish communities everywhere.

Summer is here and many residents begin going upstate for the summer, be it for the country, sleep away camp or just to visit the use of the highways increase significantly and so does the chance of getting pulled over.

An unfortunate occurrence is a driver gets pulled over and does not know he or she had a suspended drivers license for an unpaid or forgotten ticket the result of which would be the drivers immediate arrest.

Please read the following letter and make sure you aren’t driving with a suspended license!

Dear Friend:

Each year hundreds of people within our community are arrested while driving with a suspended driver license. The Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend your driving privileges for a variety of reasons. The most common reason a license is suspended is if you don’t answer a traffic summons, or if you fail to pay the full fine or surcharge listed on the summons.
