New York City was not the only part of New York that was hit by Hurricane Irene, the Catskill Mountains took quite a beating as well. In Rozentzwiegs bungalow colony in Swan Lake they have lost power and water, forcing Rabbi Zalman Duchman to resort to some ancient ways of retrieving water!

An Angel in the Supermarket

by Anonymous – Chabad.org

It was Friday, on a balmy spring morning, and I was standing in line at the checkout counter in Rockland Kosher Supermarket. My cart was overflowing with groceries which would add up to a pretty penny. I was, however, the grateful recipient of food stamp benefits, and one swipe of my precious plastic card would cover the cost of my bimonthly food shopping trip. Nonetheless, I had chosen carefully, scanning the sale aisle for bargains, wanting to make the most of the government’s assistance. I loaded my items onto the counter and waited patiently for the cashier to add them up.

Roving Rabbis Visit Rural Ontario Jewish Families

The Record

Visiting American Rabbis, Levi Weingarten (left) and Dovid Lepkivker, display religious items that they are sharing with local Jewish families who may be isolated and not located in Jewish communities. While they are staying in Waterloo, they are being hosted by Rabbi Moshe Goldman.

Strolling through Elmira and St. Jacobs, rabbis-in-training Dovid Lepkivker and Levi Weingarten got a few stares.

My Time at a Hasidic Boys’ Camp

by Perry J. Greenbaum

The boys and their counselors gather in front of “770” for a memorial service called Gimmel Tammuz: As the Chabad-Lubavitch website puts it: “The anniversary of passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory.

For the better part of July, my wife and I and our two youngest children were at a Hasidic camp for boys. My wife was employed there for the month as a camp nurse, and our oldest boy, aged nine, was there attending camp for the first time at a sleep-away camp. (I did some writing, working on my novel.) It was a good trial to see if he would like it. Actually, we weren’t far from him, but he was still in a bunk with other boys his own age. We were curious and slightly nervous how well he would fit in with the other boys, who were outwardly more religiously observant than our family was.
