Uman Visitors Won’t Get Warm Welcome This Year

Arutz 7

Posters in Uman depict an “alien-like” Jewish figure behind the universal “unwanted” symbol, with the poster’s headline proclaiming “Uman without Chassidim“ (left), and ”Will YOU be attending the march” (right).

Tens of thousands of Israelis who are planning to depart in the coming days to visit the burial site of Rav Nachman of Breslov may not get a warm welcome this year. A group of local residents in the Ukraine city of Uman, where the rabbi’s tomb is located, have called on residents to come out to a major protest against their Israeli visitors, demanding that the city ban them.

Rabbi Completes Quest to Print Tanya in Every RI City

Providence Journal

Rabbi Aryeh Laufer proofreads a page of the Tanya, a book written by Hasidic Master Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch, before delivering it to the Town of Burrillville.

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. Later, he will bring the pages to be cut and bound to make 100 books.

The sound of the shofar will resonate throughout New York’s Central Park for the Jewish New Year.

Hundreds of New Yorkers will band together Sept. 29 to hear the 100 traditional blasts from a ram’s horn in a wholly untraditional way as they unite with fellow Jews for a special Rosh Hashanah moment amidst the surroundings of Central Park.

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.

NYC Bike Share Coming to Crown Heights

New York Observer

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.

(L-R) Eli Schechner, Leonard Glaser, June Schechner, Helen Glaser, and Ruby Schechner enjoy a moment at Allie’s Summer Camp. The camp is a project of the Friendship Circle.

For most 15-year-old boys, the end of summer vacation is usually spent enjoying their last few days with friends, back to school shopping and sleeping in. For Eli Schechner of Short Hills, the last week of summer was spent volunteering with his mother, grandparents and sister at Allie’s Camp, a day camp for children and teens with special needs.

Rebbe’s Pre-1940 Note Shines Spotlight on Scholarly Indices

by Dovid Zaklikowski – Chabad.org

A recent discovery of a never-before published notation made by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, in the years before his ascension to the leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement has shed light on the enormous undertaking of the then son-in-law of the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory, to compile all of the movement’s teachings into an orderly index arranged by subject.
