Picture this; a cop pulls you over for talking on your cell phone, only you weren’t. Or a cop pulls you over for not stopping at a stop sign, only you did. How can one defend themselves when it’s their word versus the cops? In this video the driver will have evidence to prove that he did make the stop, contrary to the officers allegation, thanks to a ‘dash-cam’ he installed in his car.

Merkos Shlichus Blog: Just Light the Candles!

by Yaacov Sebbag and Lipa Benjaminson

“If you are looking for Jewish people, you have to meet Joanie on the next island,” a resident of Bocas del Toro exclaimed with excitement. “She has become the source of everything Jewish in this area.” Jumping into a water taxi, we made our way to Caremero, the next island over. At Caremero, we began walking around the exotic island to find the Jewish people we had come to visit.

My Experiences on Chabad Birthright Trip to Israel

by Samantha Hilsenrod

Rabbi Yochanan Rivkin, director of Chabad at Tulane University, inspires student on Birthright trip to Israel sponsored by Mayanot Institute.

As a student at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, I undertake a wide array of supplemental academic, social, and community service activities in conjunction to my everyday scholastic responsibilities. Suffice to say, these endeavors always prove worthwhile, often resulting in the formation of wonderful new friendships. In 2009, I had the opportunity to expand my understanding of Jewish culture and tradition as a participant in the Chabad Mayanot Birthright Israel Program. An incredibly fulfilling experience on multiple levels, my involvement with the Chabad movement at home in the United States as well as in Israel has served as a foundation for exploring my personal spiritual beliefs and family heritage, a lifelong journey that I look forward to pursuing further.

“Eretz Peru”

Tablet Magazine

An Israeli restaurant (r) in Cusco, Peru (l).

Walk down the cobblestone alley, and you’ll see it lined with restaurants serving falafel and schnitzel and Internet cafés advertising their businesses with Hebrew signs and Israeli flags. Shoppers speak Hebrew, and Israeli pop music emanates from storefronts. A shopkeeper waves and calls out to a passerby, “Shalom!”

Thanks to a guest house opened in 2008, each and every Sabbath at the home of Chief Rabbi Eliyahu and Dassi Kramer features the new faces of those drawn by the promise of a spiritually-uplifting experience, free food and even free transportation.
