Played by Judy Winegard, right, Miss Agatha Grimshaw takes away the Shabbat candles belonging to Miriam Aronowitch, played by Abby Shapiro in the new movie “A Light for Greytowers.”

HOLLYWOOD, CA — As the tops of moon-illuminated palm trees blended with the bright camera lights to cast the typical glow of a Hollywood movie premiere on the streets outside, the stars of “A Light for Greytowers” and their guests sauntered across the red carpet and into the Sherry Lansing Theater on Paramount Studio's lot. But this was no typical premiere: Those who filled the 280 seats inside were all women and were all dressed in keeping with Jewish strictures on modesty.

Debra Nussbaum Cohen – The Jewish Week

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — In the fight for control of 770 Eastern Parkway— the headquarters and heart of the Lubavitch movement, which has been the site of passionate and sometimes violent fights between messianists and non-messianists — a court decision last week has come down clearly on the side of the non-messianists.

CHAMPAIGN, IL — As Germany’s Jewish community works to absorb a record influx of immigrants from Russia and other Eastern European countries, more than two dozen Jewish students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will be donating their Spring Break vacations – and hundreds of their own dollars – to help out needy Jewish families and Holocaust survivors in Berlin.

In the fall of 2005, Rabbi Shmuel Posner tried to open Chabad of Nova outreach center at 8608 Griffin Rd. at Timberlake Plaza. But Cooper City wouldn't permit it, saying places of worship are not allowed in commercial areas.

COOPER CITY, FL — Faced with a lawsuit charging that the city discriminates against houses of worship, Cooper City commissioners appear ready to place similar limits on secular, crowd-gathering institutions: movie theaters and vocational schools.
