BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — Earlier today four judges of Second Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York ruled in favor of Agudas Chasidei Chabad and Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, Inc. following Congregation Chabad Lubavitch’s (Gaboim) appeal.

This ruling grants complete and total control to Aguch and Merkos over the premises of 770 and 784-788 Eastern Parkway, and the Gaboim have no claim. This ruling affirms the 2007 ruling of Judge Ira B. Harkavy, as we have reported.

by Getzy Markowitz - Jewish Though in Simple Words

When initiating a conversation, current events are always a good icebreaker. But this morning, one of the stories that my friend and I discussed was a heartbreaker.

For nearly three months, Mr. Sholom M. Rubashkin, a fellow Jew and a sweetheart of a man, was imprisoned. Denied bail, it was his bond with G-d and faith that sustained him. As Mr. Rubashkin is an observant Jew and a sensitive soul, the trials that he endured leave one with an uneasy feeling of guilt. Accused, but far from convicted, Sholom was incarcerated as if he had committed crimes against humanity. Reading the reports of clergy who visited him through a plexiglass window, one wonders how our government could punish a man only accused of white-collar, with a choke collar.
