In his new book “For Immediate Release,” Ronn Torossian reveals the secrets to marketing success. The following excerpt lists 7 lessons that can be learned from the success of Chabad-Lubavitch Media website Chabad.org:
Abraham Mercado is an Orthodox Jew who takes his religion seriously. He davens daily, attends shul regularly and will take his tallit if away from home on Shabbat. He also spends so much time explaining Judaism to his college friends that the 20-year-old jokingly claims he could write a 10,000-page book on the details of kosher food.
Two Valley Jewish organizations have received grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to increase security in their respective facilities, as part of the department’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
With great sadness and deep pain we inform you of the untimely passing of Reb Moshe Abelsky OBM at the age of 49.

It was with great sadness that I read the case of Levy Izhak Rosenbaum and his recent guilty plea in a federal court to having brokered three [illegal] kidney transplants in exchange for payment of money.
