The Crown Heights JCC has once again arranged with the Forestry division of the NYC Parks Dept. to have all the S’chach picked up starting Monday, October 27th until the end of the week.

The Parks Dept. vehicles will be going down every block in the community to pick up the S’chach put out in front of your house along the curbside. The vehicles will be going through the community only one time on a route that has not yet been determined. Therefore we do not know which street will be first and which street second, etc.

An American soldier makes a blessing on the Four Species in a sukkah set up with the help of the Aleph Institute at a base in the Middle East.

Stationed along the Syrian border in a remote region of Iraq, U.S. Marine officer Etan Anthony looked forward each day to those few precious minutes when he could don tefillin and pray the Shema and other parts of the morning service. It gave him a sense of security, of being protected, and affirmed his connection with fellow Jews as he stood guard in hostile territory.

BROOKLYN, NY — A gang of rogue cops clobbered a Brooklyn man they saw smoking a joint, then violated him with a walkie-talkie antenna during a broad-daylight attack in a subway station, law-enforcement sources and the victim's lawyer said yesterday.

The alleged attack, reminiscent of the 1997 police assault on Abner Louima, put Michael Mineo, 24, in Brookdale Hospital for four days.
