What: The New Hampshire primary. When: January 10, 2012. Analysis: The Iowa caucuses turned out to have quite a dramatic finish, with a mere eight votes separating the first place Mitt Romney and second place Rick Santorum. Ron Paul finished a disappointed third, followed by Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, John Huntsman and Michelle Bachmann. Following her last place finish, Bachmann dropped out of the race, leaving only six GOP candidates left to compete in New Hampshire.

Kosher Hot Dogs a Slam Dunk for Kansas Basketball

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, left, who partnered with businessman Jim Badzin and concessioner Centerplate to bring kosher hot dogs to the University of Kansas men’s basketball games, enjoys the new stand with Sheldon, Megan and Cindy Singer.

Molly Rissien stepped up to the hot dog stand at Allen Field House and left happy. It was a first for the University of Kansas junior, who comes from a family of die-hard Jayhawk fans and goes to all the games. Since she keeps kosher, she could never partake in the long-time sporting event snack tradition. Until now.

Haaretz

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach talks about his new book in Jerusalem, Israel

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach revels in speaking publicly about topics most Orthodox Jews avoid; his newest work promises to be no less controversial. The Israeli Newspaper Haaretz interviewed him on his latest book “Kosher J,” in which he describes the founder of Christianity as a good Jew, and blames later Christians who never knew him for portraying him falsely.
