Children in Long Island Accident Return Home From Hospital
By Joshua Runyan
WOODMERE, NY — All of the children injured Thursday’s traffic accident at the Chanukah Wonderland in Woodmere, N.Y., returned home before Shabbat.
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik, director of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Five Towns – the Cedarhurst-based Jewish center that operated the Chanukah workshop – praised G-d that the children were released from the hospital, but noted that a journey of recovery lay ahead. Some 14 people in Thursday’s incident when a vehicle jumped the curb and plowed into the building housing the Chanukah Wonderland.

GUILFORD, CT — In a vote of 4 to 3, the Guilford Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) approved the Chabad-Lubavitch of the Shoreline’s application to build a synagogue and day care center at 181 Goose Lane.
The decision last week came after many months of public hearings and testimony by traffic and real estate experts from both sides of the fence: the Chabad and a group in opposition to the development called Save Goose Lane. Members of the latter group consist mainly of neighbors to the site.
