ROSTOV, Russia [CHI] – As Bochurim in Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch in Rostov, were preparing to set out to the resting place of the Rebbe Rashab, in honor of his birthday this past Thursday, Chof Cheshvan, it came to an abrupt halt when a force of police officers entered the building and arrested all the Bochurim that were in the Yeshiva building at the time.

Bochurim and staff members were told to bring their passports and were taken to the police station where they were booked, a process, which took 4 and a half hours. Their crime: some discrepancies with their student visas.

OXNARD, CA — Shortly after Edi Boxstein's son arrived in Iraq in January 2006, his Army platoon was assigned to cover a 17-mile stretch of road south of Baghdad that was swarming with insurgents.

The last platoon that took the assignment lost half the squad, a bleak sign for Jonathan Boxstein's platoon.

The Pardes Chabad journal
A Chabad-Lubavitch scholarly journal published this week an account of a private meeting between today's Gerer Rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory. The 35-page transcript of the meeting, originally penned in Yiddish and published for the first time in the current issue of the bi-monthly Israeli Pardes Chabad, spans a host of topics, from Jewish law to in-depth analyses of portions of the Talmud to the state of Jewish activism.

In the audience, which took place in May 1977, the Rebbe encourages the then son of the Gerer Rebbe to publish the Chasidic group's customs and the writings of its rebbes in a publicly-available book.
