‘Justice for Rubashkin’ Petition Reaches Threshold to Get White House Attention

Huffington Post

A few weeks ago, the White House announced plans for its “We The People ” project, which would allow ordinary Americans to use an online portal at the White House’s website to submit a petition, gather support for it and, if it managed to clear a participation threshold of 5,000 signatures within 30 days of submission, it would get the attention of “policy experts” who would “issue an official response.”

Op-Ed: Shaitels – Bottomless Money Pit, Or is it?

by Zalman H.

As a husband for over ten years now, I think I’ve learnt a thing or two about shaitels. My wife has been through three, well four if you count the one she bought when we were engaged… the one she hasn’t worn since, that’s scrunched in a bag at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. (I’ve learned not to bring that up, no need to start a fight.)

Chabad of Pacific Palisades Unleashes Hip New Look

San Francisco Chronicle

An Ed Massey design — a whirlwind of color — greets passersby and invigorates Sunset Boulevard property acquired in July from the Getty Trust.

The new Chabad facility, at the foot of the Los Liones National Park and a short walk to the Pacific Ocean, has undergone a transformational face-lift to inaugurate the building in time for the Jewish New Year. Formerly a Getty Trust property, the new center and home for the Palisades Jewish Early Childhood Center (P.J.E.C.C.) is unveiling an Ed Massey designed colorburst on the Sunset Boulevard facade that will greet drivers, joggers, walkers, and Chabad visitors of all ages as they drive to and enter the premises.

Upgraded beach facilities at a Dead Sea site developed by the Israeli government offer separate entrances for men and women.
