While most American kids are busy going door to door collecting candy tonight, some kids in our neighborhood seem to think that Halloween eve is ‘attack-a-Jew night.’ They roam the streets in gangs looking for a Jewish victim to pelt with eggs and/or assault.

Rabbi Noach Gansburg, Shliach to S. Paulo, Brazil and Rabbi Levi Gorelik of Crown Heights were classmates in their hometown in Italy almost 50 years ago. Today, they bumped into each other on Kingston Ave., where they caught up with each other’s lives and reminisced about the good old days.
This morning, the first of the Kinus, the Shluchim began their day with the study of Chassidus in 770. For Shachris, the Rebbe’s study and the entire area around it were packed, while many others davened in one of the downstairs minyanim or in the Ohel.
Yesterday at 8:00pm Deputy Inspector John Lewis walked out of the 71st Precinct for his last time as its commanding officer, but not before a steady stream of well-wishers from the entire Crown Heights community came by to personally see him off and wish him success in his new post at the bureau of School Safety.
