The Blaze

It’s no secret that automatic cameras snapping the license plate numbers of red-light-runners and stop-sign-coasters generates revenue for cities — especially since they’re constantly on and a uniformed officer is not actively monitoring and getting paid to catch the would-be traffic offenders.

The Rebbe and the Red Houses of Katamon

One of the oldest and poorest neighborhoods in Yerushalayim, Katamon fell victim to a rampant epidemic of abortions toward the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. Those who resided in the overly crowded red houses on Rechov Bar Yochai were particularly affected, with many left feeling helpless and without any other options.

A new rabbi with Chabad of Snohomish County in Edmonds, Berel Paltiel, has settled into a new life with his wife Goldie and their two children, Risha (left), 4 months, and Chaya, 17 months, at their home in Edmonds, Washington.

Rabbi Berel Paltiel's older brothers had to pose as American tourists to transport banned religious books to Jewish congregations in Soviet Russia. All Berel had to do to transport his religious books to his new congregation was ship them from Brooklyn to Edmonds, Washington. But in every other way, he is continuing his family's legacy.

The Rebbe’s Impact: Eskimo Girl Discovers Shabbos

by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin – Jewish Week

Illustration photo: Eskimo town in Alaska.

At a memorial session at the Israeli Knesset honoring the Lubavitcher Rebbe shortly after his death, Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau recalled a conversation he had once had with him in which Rabbi Lau spoke of his active involvement in kiruv rechokim, bringing back to Judaism lost Jews who had strayed far away. “The Rebbe immediately corrected me: ‘We cannot label anyone as being ‘far.” Who are we to determine who is far and who is near? They are all close to Hashem.”
