Hi, my name is Mendel. I am 6 feet tall, slim, and dress in style. I went through the system and almost have Smicha. I am not a Shlichus Bocher, but I work hard and can already support Shluchim. Do you want me as your son in law?

It’s pay to pray at one Brooklyn synagogue. Down-on-their luck panhandlers at the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Crown Heights have to follow the 11th Commandment: Fork over $5 for the right to beg inside.

It’s not every day that a child gets to serve as a colonel in the army. Then again, not every child is entrusted with any kind of mission. But for Chaya Mushka Lowenthal, along with hundreds of Yaldei Hashluchim and many thousands of Lubavitch children around the world, all this talk of missions and ranks is more than just child’s play.

A few days ago, an article by the Algemeiner’s Dovid Efune was published on crownheights.info, advocating for Shluchim to arm themselves with firearms. The article intimated that perhaps the tragedy that took place in Mumbai in 2008, where Rabbi Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg HYD were murdered, may have been averted. The author points to recent threats discovered against Chabad Houses in Thailand and Azerbaijan, and to the fact that the previous Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn, carried a revolver.
In what appears to be a frightening trend, authorities in Argentina captured an Iranian-Hezbollah terror cell which was, according to Debkafile, planning an attack on a Chabad center there. If confirmed, this is the third time this month that an Iranian linked attack on a Chabad House was foiled. The other two plots were against Chabad Houses in Thailand and Azerbaijan.
Rabbi Bentzion Chanowitz relates: At around 4:00 PM on Tuesday the 24th of January, we were informed that our missing Sefer Torah had been recovered. We immediately drove to the Monticello Police Department. The Torah was in a large plastic bag stored in a larger box.
