NEW YORK, NY — The Rev. Al Sharpton and nearly 200 demonstrators were arrested Wednesday as they blocked traffic at the height of the evening rush hour to protest the acquittals of three detectives in the 50-bullet shooting of an unarmed black man.

Police estimated that about 190 people were arrested, including Sharpton, two survivors of the shooting and the slain man's fiancee. They lined up and peacefully put their hands behind their backs as police arrested them on disorderly conduct charges.

The motto of the Rebbe Maharash, whose birthday is today, was “L’chatchila Ariber” - exhortation to supersede limitation (that's how chabad.org translates it). That is what we are trying to do with this ad-hoc Farbrengen in honor of Bais Iyar catered specifically for bochurim learning and/or working in Crown Heights. Age is not an obstacle.

Today, Wednesday, at 10pm there will be a Shiur and Farbrengen at the Rubashkin residence, 1349 President St, [between Kingston and Brooklyn Ave] with the talking phenomenon, Rabbi Yossi Jacobson, which will be broadcast live over the Internet.

Click here to watch this weeks Shiur LIVE at 10pm.

Many thanks to the Crown Heights Community Council (CHJCC) and Moshe Rubashkin for sponsoring and hosting.

Rivkah Slonim, left, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Binghamton, learns with students at Binghamton University.

BINGHAMTOM, NY — When Rivkah Slonim was a new bride, the Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, assigned her and her husband Aaron to serve as a bridge to Judaism on a large and important American university campus. The decision was unexpected. Rivkah Sternberg came from a Chasidic family that could trace its roots at least as far back as the Maggid of Mezritch. She was a bit of a rebel, articulate and outspoken.
