KEW GARDENS, NY [CHI] — It was a short 16 months ago that the news broke of the dwindling Anshe Sholom Congregation of Kew Gardens, NY partnering with Chabad of the Gardens to try to work on building up the center once again. Today, we are proud to announce the official vote of the Board of trustees and the membership to ultimately change their center to a Chabad house - for good, by accepting the official name Anshe Sholom Chabad Jewish Community Center.

ISREAL — It was disclosed Monday that the body found in a relatively advanced state of decay on Friday in an abandoned structure near Beit Dagan in central Israel was that of Rafael (Refoel) Miriashvilli, a 25-year-old Chabad Lubavitch yeshiva student from the city of Lod who had been missing for five weeks. Police say evidence at the scene points to Miriashvilli having been murdered although the circumstances are not clear.

There have been rumors in Chabad circles that he was murdered by Arabs in revenge for his anti-intermarriage efforts. Approximately four years ago, working for the Yad L’Achim anti-assimilation and anti-intermarriage organization, Miriashvilli and two colleagues were charged with kidnapping and impersonating security personnel in the course of saving a Jewish woman from marriage to an Arab.

Rabbi Moshe Greenwald, Downtown, LA

LOS ANGELES, CA — When Patti Berman moved into her sunny loft in downtown Los Angeles, the rough-and-tumble neighborhood was known as skid row. Her building, recently gentrified, was one of only three proper hi-risers in the city’s grim center. Berman’s doorman had to shoo away homeless people from her stoop and sidewalk, so that residents could leave to work each morning.

Soldiers assemble for a picture prior to the onset of Passover at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Col. David Everett, third from right, requested the Seder for personnel who were unable to make the harrowing journey to Bagram Air Base.

As the day winds down at coalition headquarters in Kabul and the Friday afternoon sun begins its descent in the Afghanistan sky, a group of Jewish soldiers gathers for a pre-Shabbat infusion of spiritual inspiration.
