To the esteemed members of the Crown Heights Jewish Community

It is customary not to make the Bracha of Shehechiyanu during the period of the counting of the Omer. However, a major monumental event has taken place this week.

I thank Hashem for his kindness that he has bestowed upon our community that has enabled us and has given us a chance to rid ourselves from all unwanted and unnecessary behavior associated with strife and lack of Ahavas Yisroel.

Recently one of Crown Height’s most amazing personalities, Rabbi Yosel Tevel z”l, tragically passed away. He was the founder of many Crown Heights organizations, including Ahavas Chesed among others. Many people don’t know that in his early years, right after he got married, he spent some time helping the Chabad Shliach of Berkeley (or “Berzerkeley” as he would call it), California. While there, he met people from various backgrounds with many different stories. The following is just one of many:

On Friday, April 9th, the government issued a sentencing memorandum urging the court to impose a life sentence on Sholom Rubashkin, facing his conviction on bank fraud charges.

This recommendation comes despite the fact that Mr. Rubashkin is a non-violent first time offender, who made timely interest payments to the lender bank until his plant was raided. He never intended to cause loss to the bank. Despite massive pre-trial publicity, all immigration charges were dropped. The life-sentence recommendation entirely disregards Mr. Rubashkin's exceptional record of charity and good deeds and that he is the father of ten children, including a severely autistic 16-year-old son, all of whom depend on him greatly.

The Mayor of Ariel, Israel visits the Rebbe: “Tell the people in Israel to publicize everywhere that all the rumors that Israel will give back land have no basis in reality. These rumors are the cause of intifada, for they give the message that there is something to gain through violence. Israel will remain whole, and Moshiach will soon add the rest of its lands, peacefully and pleasantly without any battles.”
