A Rosh Chodesh Kislev Farbrengen in Tzfas

TZFAS, Israel [CHI] — A Rosh Chodesh Kislev Farbrengen took place in Yeshivas Tzeirei Hashluchim, Tzfas, and was addressed by Rabbi Chaim Kaplan, Head Shliach of Tzfas and Rabbi M. Schurder, Mashpia of Shiur Bais.

We all know more or less why we celebrate Rosh Chodesh Kislev, however Rabbi Kaplan explained to the Bochurim a practical way of how to celebrate it in our day to day lives. The main Yom Tov is that the Rebbe finally went home from 770.

The New York State Public Service Commission ordered Consolidated Edison today to return $18 million to its customers for failing to provide safe and reliable service in 2006, a year that included a nine-day blackout that began in Long Island City, Queens, and affected 170,000 people. The highly critical decision could affect Con Edison’s request for a substantial increase in electric rates.

“One of the commission’s foremost areas of concern is to ensure that electric distribution systems are safe and reliable,” said the commission’s chairwoman, Patricia L. Acampora. “Con Edison did not meet four targets for systemwide reliability in 2006. As a result of the utility’s failure to meet these important targets, shareholders are directed to provide a credit to ratepayers. Hopefully, this sends a message to Con Edison that they must be diligent in efforts to maintain a reliable network, or they will face financial consequences.”
