CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Montgomery Street residents were startled when cries of “help, help!” were shouted late Friday night. The incident took place between Albany and Troy Avenues at around 11:30pm when a Bochur was walking home from a Sholom Zochor, and was surrounded by a group of around 5 Black males of various ages.

One resident told CrownHeights.info that he heard the calls for help and he immediately ran out, sparing the Bochur a beating, and spotted a number of the group fleeing. A number of the residents gave chase and caught two of the group.

Taking a break: Rabbi Mendy Margolin and his
brother Rabbi Levi Margolin enjoy a coffee at Rock
Island during their stay in Bermuda.
“Rabbis with kosher food will travel.”

Such is how Rabbi Mendy Margolin and his brother Rabbi Levi Margolin introduce themselves. They are participants in the Chabad Rabbinical Visitation Programme, and have been visiting the Jewish Community of Bermuda since Tuesday.

The aim of the programme is to travel to remote, isolated Jewish communities where they introduce a vibrant Jewish experience to the local population. Through personal encounters with families and individuals, they inspire meaningful exploration and celebration of Jewish life, identity and traditions. You literally see the Jewish heritage accessible to Jewish people worldwide.
