Starting Tonight: Yeshivas Erev – After School Learning

Every weeknight over 350 boys from grades 5-8 get together in three different locations throughout the community for an hour of learning.

The boys spend their time reviewing the Gemara and Rashi inside, doing their homework with the help of our devoted Madrichim, as well as learning Mishnayos, Gemara and Tanya by heart. There is also a Shiur every night in a Sicha of the Rebbe, Halacha, Chassidishe story etc. The program ends with a Minyan for Ma’ariv, davening at the pace of the boys.

NEW YORK — Swine flu SWAT teams would treat sick 911 callers in their homes — dialing up doctors for diagnoses and prescriptions — under a radical new plan being mulled by the city to prevent jammed emergency rooms, The Post has learned.

Officials are contemplating a new protocol that would transfer callers who report influenza-like symptoms to a special hot line manned by light-duty paramedics and a doctor, said a source with knowledge of the talks.

The following letter from Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba was released today lambasting the new Vaad and its supporters for their failure to comply with the agreement to go before a Zabl"o Bais Din, and accusing them of Mesira.

The letter [freely translated]:

To Anash of Crown Heights - Kan Tziva Hashem es Habrocho - and all to whom the Rebbe's shechuna is dear.

Following up to my letters of Elul 5769, I am obligated to notify the community that after receiving Rabbi Schwei's signature on the shtar birurin- to proceed to a Din Torah, we informed the court that we are placing a hold on the restraining order against the most recent elections, in order to deal with it at the Din Torah.

I need to clarify that the entire process of going to court to place a restraining order against the latest elections was according to Halacha and with the consent of Bais Din.
