Desert Sun

Rabbi Yonason Denebeim holds up Chabad of Palm Springs' new Torah at a dedication ceremony at Rabbi Yankel Kreiman's home in Palm Springs.

Rabbi Yonason Denebeim dipped a quill into black ink and leaned over the parchment. He stroked his graying beard and steadied his hand. A single mistake would unravel two years of painstaking work.

Queens Chronicle

Rabbi Yitzchok Moully and some of his work, which he refers to as “Chassidic pop art.”

Long Island City’s Chabad, hosted by Rabbi Zev Wineberg and his wife, Rivka, celebrated the grand opening of its new Jewish Community Center last Thursday with an art exhibit and honey tasting. Since apples and honey are traditionally eaten on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which is being celebrated this week, the tasting helped reinforce the symbolism of a sweet new year.

The Torah is central to Judaism. The text, consisting of the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, provides the basis for the 3,000-year-old religion, serving as a legal guide as well as a history of the Jewish people. The Torah contains 613 commandments, with the final one, to write your own Torah, appearing in Deuteronomy 31:19: “Now therefore write this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel.”

An ad in Times Square erected by the activists to recruit protesters.

Rosh Hashanah is here which means Yom Kipur is around the corner and you know what that means? Time for the annual protests of the annual chicken swinging ritual known as kapparot. The generally fatal chicken “swinging” and slaughtering most often performed on the day before Yom Kippur (but can be held anytime between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur) and has some very vocal adversaries. Opponents, who this year advertised briefly in Times Square, aren't against the ritual so much as they're against the chicken killing.

Faithful, Far Away: Jewish Army chaplains bring message of faith and hope to soldiers who are often cut off from their religion. Kiddush is celebrated with grape juice out of consideration for the country’s Muslim culture.

Rabbi Jacob Goldstein will lead Yom Kippur services this year dressed not in the black fedora of his Lubavitch Hasidic sect, but in full battle gear at a Combat Operating Base in eastern Afghanistan.
