The three Bochurim being stopped and ticketed Sunday night.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the city. The sun was shining bright, the leaves were whirling in the street corners, and the birds were chirping. Everyone was doing their errands, be it on Kingston Ave. or Fulton Street in Manhattan. I even talked to a very friendly officer as I was going into the subway.

So why does everyone feel and think that there is so much bad in the world? Why today did I not feel or see any of it? Well the reason is because there is lots of good in the world, but there are a bunch of problems too. Just like people, a person is mostly good but they can have a couple of problems which can make a relationship not work. The same applies to a job, for example being a police officer. For the most part they are doing their job, but there are some glaring issues as well.

GOP Gains May Cloud Mideast Picture

By James D. Besser for the Jewish Press
Republican wins could produce domestic gridlock, uncertainty for Obama peace plans.

WASHINGTON, DC — A big Republican victory on Nov. 2 could bring the Obama administration’s troubled domestic agenda to a dead stop — but it is unlikely to do the same for its faltering Middle East peace efforts, which some Israelis argue favor the Palestinians.

By Jessica Naiman – Chabad.org

For years, the concluding gala banquet of the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries has been known as the largest sit-down dinner in New York City.

An army of staffers, electricians, chefs and delivery crews are making final preparations to a Brooklyn, N.Y., museum, dozens of classrooms, and a cruise terminal in anticipation of the fast-approaching 13th-annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries.

Young Rabbi Returns Home to Open Chabad

St. Petersburg Times

Rabbi Yankel Adler, 25, left, with 6-month-old daughter Rochel Adler and wife Chanie Adler, 22, moved from Brooklyn to open a Chabad Center serving Clearwater and the surrounding areas. 

CLEARWATER, FL — Rabbi Yankel Adler grew up watching his parents reach out to the Jewish community in north Pinellas County. Now an ordained rabbi with a family of his own, it seemed natural that he should come back here and help the community grow.

Canadians: Help Turn a Dream Into…

OTTAWA — Imagine a realistic indoor village – complete with a bank, candy store, hair salon, pharmacy and working traffic lights – where special needs children can have fun learning life skills in a sheltered, safe environment. Imagine the tremendous boost to their social, physical and cognitive skills, not to mention their self-confidence and dignity.

Our Outlook On Death Makes All The Difference


It was a busy morning, about 8:30 an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

by Tamar Runyan – Chabad.org

Locals join newly-arrived Rabbi Yossi Halprin, third from right, for a prayer service outside of the Chabad Jewish Center of Varna, Bulgaria.

VARNA, Bulgaria — It’s one thing to talk about the Jewish holidays. But to actually experience them the way they were meant to be celebrated is like nothing else in the world.
