Liverpool Students Enjoy Cooking Session at Chabad

by S. Phillips

When it comes to student cooking, I consider myself a serial bad-habit maker; a culinary Jack the Ripper. I’ve committed all the gastronomic sins: Buying microwave meals, not checking the sell-by date on milk and the classic ‘healthy epiphany.’ Over-zealously buying vegetables then forgetting about them later, leading to a severe biohazard situation developing in the fridge two weeks later… (or was it a month?)

Beware: Con Artist on the Loose in Crown Heights

The man pictured above has been seen over the past few weeks, along with a female accomplice, claiming a good sob story to unsuspecting strangers in order to elicit money from them. Sometimes it’s about his car breaking down; other times it’s his mother who passed away or his kids who are sick. He has been noted to specifically target Jews, as they seem to be more passionate to his story/ies. While it is not a crime to collect charity, is is not OK to lie to people and take advantage of their kindness. Please avoid this man, and do not give him money unless he decides to collect charity in an honest way.
