It was another year's chagim spent abroad, away from Israel where Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kipur (and Simcha Torah and Shemini Atzeret and Succot...) are a matter of course; where in a spiritual analog of the Soviet agents who once visited America and pointing in any direction were astonished to be taken to a supermarket stuffed with food, so in Israel in any direction that can be pointed to a synagogue lies; where the Days of Awe do not require instructions on the packaging: It was another year for me away from those kinds of comfort.

A Slow, Steady Hassidic Rebirth in Russia

NPR

Dovid Karpov has been the rabbi at the Darkei Shalom synagogue since it was built 15 years ago. Like many people in his congregation, Karpov grew up in a Soviet-era family that was not religious. He says he had to learn his faith for himself.

About a dozen men prayed recently at Darkei Shalom, a Hasidic Jewish synagogue in the working-class neighborhood of Otradnoye in north Moscow.

Op-Ed: Please Include a Photo with Your Resumé

by Anonymous

I am not writing this op-ed because I believe I possess any particular erudition, or that I am going to completely change everyone’s attitude on the matter. Actually, I can bet on the fact that I will have north of 50 comments slamming me and my creed. This op-ed is me attempting to expand your prospective a bit by giving you some insight into the mind of the antagonist, and of course I needed an outlet to vent my frustration.

TSA to Allow Arba Minim on Airplanes

In advance of the weeklong Jewish festival of Sukkot, the Transportation and Security Administration reminded its airport screeners and the travelling public that Jewish travelers may carry the Four Species – a palm branch, myrtle twigs, willow branches, and a citron fruit known in Hebrew as an etrog – through security checkpoints and onboard planes.
