CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — This past Thursday night, the monthly Precinct Council Meeting took place with just a handful of Jewish residents in attendance, along with typical turnout at these meetings.

Commanding Officer of the 71st Precinct, Deputy Inspector Frank Vega started his address with the crime statistics, where he noted that in comparison to this time last year crime is slightly up, but overall its significantly down, due in part to the large police presences since the racially motivated attack on a Bochur, Friday night a couple of weeks back.

Rabbi Demonstrates Ancient Skill of Torah Making

Harriet P. Gross – The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS, TX — A turkey feather. The tendons and tail hairs of cows. These are the basic tools of Faitel Lewin’s trade.

Rabbi Lewin is a sofer, a modern-day practitioner of an ancient and essential Jewish craft: scribing Torahs. With his turkey quill pen, he writes the full text of the Bible’s first five books, Genesis through Deuteronomy, in Hebrew on sheets of parchment prepared from animal skins. Then he wraps and stitches them into a pliable scroll with his bovine threads.
