Code of Jewish Law, Laws of Shabbos, Chapter 329: If non-Jews besiege a Jewish border town — whether in the Holy Land or in the Diaspora — stating that they come only to pilfer straw, Jews are obligated to arm themselves for war, even on Shabbos, because such an intrusion opens up the entire Jewish land to attack.

Video: Do You Need an Ethical Will?

Torah Café

Dr. Stephen Serbain

In this video from the National Jewish Retreat, Dr. Stephen Serbain discusses the concept of an ethical will and how it differs from other types of wills a person might write. An ethical will allows a person to transmit their spiritual legacy to their loved ones. In this interactive workshop, Stephen Serbain will give you the tools to compose your own Jewish ethical will.

A major collision involving three vehicles sent one car into flames on the corner of Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Ave. at 9:25 tonight. The driver, described to be a 45-50 year old male, was pinned inside the burning vehicle. Eventually, they managed to extract him and he was immediately rushed to Kings County Hospital in traumatic arrest; he was later pronounced dead in the emergency room.

When a beloved individual in the Crown Heights Jewish community had a heart attack during a Jewish holiday in 1976, the ambulance arrived too late to save his life. The tragedy gave birth to a volunteer ambulance group, Chevrah Hatzalah, which in Hebrew literally means rescue team.

Op-Ed: Crown Heights Is Ready for an Eruv

by Anonymous

It’s been a year since my wife and I got married and chose to settle in the nice and friendly neighborhood of Crown Heights. Since then, we’ve been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, who brings much light and joy into our new home. But, one thing has changed for the worse since this wonderful gift has come into our lives: every Shabbos, my wife and I are stuck in our apartment, as if it has become our jail cell.

Uncovering Chabad in Cancun

by Kristen Tywan

Rabbi Mendel Druk does outreach in Cancun, Mexico.

It’s ironic that after growing up so close to the large Jewish community in Skokie, Illinois that I would finally get my Jewish education from a Hasidic Rabbi in Cancun, Mexico. The Jewish community that I stumbled across in Cancun is an oasis of familiarity for Jews in Mexico. Not only do Rabbi Mendel Druk and his wife Rebbetzin Rachel Druk provide one of the only kosher meals in Cancun; they also offer an opportunity for their fellow Jews to reconnect with their faith and heritage by bringing them closer to each other and to God.
