Beware: Con Artist on the Loose in Crown Heights

The man pictured above has been seen over the past few weeks, along with a female accomplice, claiming a good sob story to unsuspecting strangers in order to elicit money from them. Sometimes it’s about his car breaking down; other times it’s his mother who passed away or his kids who are sick. He has been noted to specifically target Jews, as they seem to be more passionate to his story/ies. While it is not a crime to collect charity, is is not OK to lie to people and take advantage of their kindness. Please avoid this man, and do not give him money unless he decides to collect charity in an honest way.

Jewish Soldiers Find a Spiritual Home at Fort Jackson

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Illustration Photo: Jewish soldiers celebrate the High Holidays with the help of the Aleph Institute.

When Rabbi Henry Sousson went through training at Fort Jackson in 2002, area Jewish options were limited, and being able to participate in Jewish holiday celebrations was tough. Nearly 10 years later, the instructor at the Columbia, S.C., installation’s chaplain school is proud of the Chabad-Lubavitch run Aleph House, which gives civilians and soldiers a Jewish base while they’re away from home.
