MORRISTOWN, NJ — A decade ago, you wouldn't have dreamed of seeing Yaakov Parisi among a pack of yeshiva students. He was an evangelical pastor back then, in charge of a church in Oklahoma, completely unaware of the complexity and beauty of Jewish law.

Precinct Council Meeting – LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN!

As many residents know, the last 71st Precinct Council Meeting did not go very well. There will be another meeting this 7:30 PM Thursday night, (Yud shevat, Jan 17th) we urge all members of the community to come again to the meeting to express our security concerns.

Following last months meeting (before the precints own follow-up meeting—to do some damage control—with selected members of the community) The Jewish Leadership Council sent the attached letter to Inspector Vega and various other officials within the NYPD.

In a column in the Jewish Daily Forward called Bintel Blog, where Lisa Loeb answers letters from readers she received the following letter:

Dear Lisa,

My daughter, a beautiful, brilliant college graduate with a law degree and a good job is about to become engaged to a Chabadnik (who, by the way, has no job except for being what I call a lay “Jew for Moses” with Chabad).

It’s obvious that if she marries this parasite, she will become a second-class citizen and a baby factory, and I’ll never have any contact with my grandchildren, because, while we are proud Jews, we aren’t kosher and obviously don’t keep all the Shabbat commandments. (Don’t tell me I’m wrong. I’ve had other friends whose kids have drunk the Orthodox Kool Aid — this is what happens.)

Maaras Hamachpela in Hevron

It’s over. I knew it would end. When was the last time two and half weeks lasted forever? Memories and a few pictures – those will last – but the experience is behind me – left to be cherished and hopefully processed into
something productive.

I chose the timing my trip to Eretz Yisroel so I could participate in the Menorah lighting on top of the hill known as Abu Sneneh.
