Alarm Scares off Burglar

The Back Broken Window

Crown Heights, Brooklyn – In a brazen attempt to burglarize a Crown Heights home in broad daylight, an unknown number of perpetrators broke into the home on Eastern Parkway and Albany Avenue.

They broke a window leading into a laundry room in the back of the home, and 20 seconds later the alarm went off, apparently chasing them away.

The incident took place sometime around 3:00 in the afternoon when the alarm sounded and one of the residents came home to see the house slightly disturbed and immediately called 911 and Shomrim, who arrived on scene within moments and secured the house until police showed up.

Challenge is an inspiring selection of public talks and private meetings with the Rebbe, in which he edifies growth, responsibility and love. In all matters of life, the Rebbe teaches, one must never cease to strive ever higher.

The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, spearheaded a Jewish revolution in the 20th century. The Rebbe's message was as old as the Torah itself, yet his approach was as rousing as dawn. He urged each person, in personal and in communal life, to never be satisfied with yesterday's achievements or today's successes, but to soar to even greater heights.
