A member of the Crown Heights Shomrim was driving up Troy Ave. at around 6:00 today, when he noticed heavy smoke escaping from the car in front of him. He immediately ran over and convinced the oblivious driver to get out of the car before it would be too late. The man obliged in the nick of time, as the engine burst into flames as soon as he got out and very quickly consumed the entire vehicle.

From the Safer Haminhagim: [Every day from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the twelfth of the month, usually after Shacharis,] one reads the passage [from Bamidbar 7-8:4] that describes the offering brought on that day by a particular Nasi, or tribal prince, for the dedication of the altar of the Mishkan. [In common parlance, each day's passage itself is often referred to as “the Nasi.”] This daily reading is followed by the prayer which opens with the words yehi ratzon (and which appears in Siddur Torah Or [as well as in Siddur Tehillat HaShem, p. 371]). This prayer is recited even by a Kohen or a Levi [despite its seeming relevance only to tribes other than the Tribe of Levi]. [284]
