CEDARHURST, NY [CHI] — Chabad of the 5 Towns celebrated the 40th birthday of Rabbi Zalman Wolowik, and succeeded in planting a very big smile on the Rabbi’s face. In addition to the Farbrengen on Shabbos and other celebrations with family members and friends, Rabbi Wolowik’s wife, Rebbeztin Chanie Wolowik, arranged that at least 40 men that are not regular Minyan attendees or “Tefillin Daveners” join for Sunday morning Shachris followed by a birthday breakfast and Gemorra Shiur.

NEW YORK, NY — Cops are taking longer to respond to serious crimes, police stats show.

More than half the city's 75 precincts saw increased response times to “critical” calls from 2007 to 2008, according to NYPD data.

Although many of the 38 precincts saw only slight increases, others had more significant spikes in average response time, including a 42-second increase at the 100th Precinct in Rockaway, Queens, and a 38-second hike at the 13th Precinct on Manhattan's East Side.
