As an early subscriber to the energy and intentions that Chevra Ahavas Yisroel brought to the table, I have to say I am truly proud of their accomplishments… a new building, a loyal following and packed house every Friday night, with people who genuinely care about davening. Apparently they now have a consulting Rov, and are continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. Kol Hakavod.

New Chabad Houses Show Gentrification Trends

Jewish Week

The Bowery in lower Manhattan

Guilty Verdict for Traffic Violation Issued by… Whom?

A guilty verdict was mailed to him in return, but take a closer look at the name of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) presiding over his case. Is this his real name? Is this a case of anti-Semitism? or perhaps an elaborate Purim prank by someone in the city’s justice department? You decide.
