Think again, says one Crown Heights bus driver. Although everyone seems to think you can't get a ticket for double parking during alternate side parking hours, many discover the truth to their unpleasant surprise: Although they usually choose to ignore the practice, cops issue tickets for it all the time.

Think Double Parking During Street Cleaning is Legal?

Think again, says one Crown Heights bus driver. Although everyone seems to think you can’t get a ticket for double parking during alternate side parking hours, many discover the truth to their unpleasant surprise: Although they usually choose to ignore the practice, cops issue tickets for it all the time.

Cambria Heights Residents Angry with Ohel, Visitors

Years of littering and swarms of rude visitors has a group of Cambria Heights residents fighting an Orthodox Jewish synagogue’s plan to expand.

Manalapan Sees Overwhelming Turnout for Friendship

In the true spirit of community, nearly 1,300 people of all ages gathered under sunny skies for the fourth annual Walk4Friends on April 29th at Vonage Corporate Center in Holmdel. The goal of the walk was to raise funding and awareness for the Friendship Circle, a program that provides friendship for children with special needs, but, again, it accomplished much more than its primary mission.

A concerned Crown Heights resident sent us this photo, saying “for some odd reason, our community has been tolerating the dangerous practices of drivers of the Boro Park Bus answering phone calls as they are transporting 20 human beings in their vehicle. Every day that passes without an accident is a miracle. It is about time someone stops this dangerous activity which puts our lives in danger on a daily basis.”

Shturem

Close to a quarter million French nationals gathered in a square across from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to demonstrate support for President Nicholas Sarkozy, who is seeking a second term in office. Sarkozy gave an impassioned speech to the crowd, imploring the voters not to replace him with Socialist candidate Francois Hollande – which according to poll predictions is very likely to happen.

Lakewood Rosh: Lubavitch Not Part of Klal Yisroel

Rabbi Malkiel Kotler of Lakewood meets with Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum of Kiryas Yoel.

This coming May 21st, thousands of Orthodox Jews from all walks of life will descend upon the Citi-Field baseball stadium in Queens, NY to demand action on curbing the dangerous influences of the internet on the their community. Actually, Orthodox Jews from almost all walks of life will attend; while every Jewish community in the region received a delegation from the organizers begging them to attend, one particular group of Orthodox Jews was not invited: Lubavitch. One blogger says he knows why.

Hundreds Attend Dedication of New Chabad Center

For 12 years, Rabbi Yosef and Dalia Kulek worked day and night to bring Jewish students at Hartford University closer to their roots. This week, after years of legal uncertainty and unexpected help from heaven, they have finally cut the ribbon on a beautiful edifice which they – and the students they so dedicatedly serve – will now call home.
