Providence Journal

The whirr and snap of a printer is the only sound in a small study room at the Jesse Smith Memorial Library on Tinkham Lane as 23-year-old Rabbi Aryeh Laufer patiently waits for another set of pages to be done so he can feed the printer again.

Letter: Terrified in My Own Home
Dear members of the Crown Heights community, there is a terrible problem I and many of my neighbors are struggling with, which i must inform you about. We have tried various ways of dealing with it, and after a frustrating year with absolutely nothing being done to solve it by the powers-that-be, I have decided to turn to the public in a desperate attempt to bring this issue out from under the carpet.
I am a stay-at-home Jewish mother who lives in a predominantly Jewish apartment building in the heart of crown heights. My neighbors are almost all Jewish, friendly, and courteous. Yet, I live in constant fear.

The long-rumored local bike share program will indeed come to New York as soon as next summer in a partnership between the city and Alta Bike Share of — where else? — Portland, Oregon. The system will cover Upper Manhattan all the way down to the bottom tip, and across the water to Greenpoint and Crown Heights, Brooklyn, dwarfing existing programs in Washington, D.C. and Boston with a whopping 600 stations and 10,000 Bikes. Membership will be flexible, with an annual subscription likely costing less than a one-month unlimited MetroCard.

Jewish Woman Pulled off Airplane in Cuffs on 9/11
Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we’d all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.
