On November 9th, five Congressmen ventured into otherwise uncharted territory by traditional diplomatic delegations to Israel. A strong affinity to Israel and genuine frustration with the repetitive and fatal failures of peace plans and processes drove these American leaders to take a fresh look and Israel’s heartland.

Yediot Achronot correspondent Akiva Novik recorded a conversation with Meir Baranes, who was informed the conversation was recorded and consented. He told Novik that in 45 days, on 19 Kislev, the Chag HaGeula for Chabadnikim, he or a messenger of his would murder Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita. Baranes is currently incarcerated in a psychiatric institution pending evaluation.

18 years ago today, the 14th of Cheshvan 1993, was the last time we saw the Rebbe ‘B’Gashmiyus’ as he made his last appearance in 770. The following poem, submitted by one of our readers, was written as a ‘Pan’ – a letter torn up and placed in the Rebbe’s ohel. It expresses the feelings of all chassidim who yearn to see the Rebbe’s holy face once again.
Yosef Peysin and Mordy Kurtz, both from Chicago, love what they do. The duo formed a band named ‘Rogers Park,’ an ode to their hometown, and have been traveling the world with a message ever since. Although music is the primary tool the band uses to connect to their audience, a combination of humour, storytelling, and teachings of Chassidus make up the balance of the evening’s entertainment.
Hate-filled vandals torched at least three cars and scrawled racist and anti-Semitic messages on a Brooklyn block early Friday morning, police said.
