Op-Ed: Leadership Helped Bring Crown Heights Back from the Brink

by Shea Hecht – Forward

Living Together?: There’s always been some friction between Jews and blacks in Crown Heights. Leadership helped steer both sides away from confrontation.

August marks the 20th anniversary of the worst anti-Semitic attack in American history: a three-day nightmare that historians and journalists call the “Crown Heights riots” and that many members of the Jewish community have called a “pogrom.”

Edinburg Monitor

From left, Dan Vaisman and Moshe Klein, a scribe, write a letter in the Torah on Sunday during the Rio Grande Valley Children’s Torah completion and dedication ceremony at the Chabad Center in Edinburg.

Children played, whiskey flowed and kosher hot dogs seared as dozens celebrated one of the most sacred events in the Jewish community Sunday afternoon.

Jews Have Little to Fear From Black Anti-Semitism

by Jim Sleeper – Forward

Early in the 1990s — so many years ago that it’s nowhere to be found online — I was on a panel about black anti-Semitism at New York’s 92nd Street Y, where the historian of slavery Eugene Genovese observed that if a black demagogue called Italian Americans “racists,” they’d come after him with baseball bats, but if he called Jews “racists,” they’d hold a few conferences at the 92nd Street Y.

How to Hijack an Airplane in Three Seconds

The Atlantic

One-one thousand. Two-one thousand. Three-one thousand. And just like that, it can happen: From the front row of a passenger airplane, a group of hijackers leap from their seats and race toward the cockpit, leaving flight attendants, galley carts, and other improvisational means of defense in their wake.

Twenty years ago a tragic car accident in Crown Heights Brooklyn escalated into a pogrom against the Jewish people. The media gives it a politically correct description, violence between the area's Blacks and Jews. However the violence was not two-sided. The Crown Heights riot was an attack on the Jews by the neighborhood's Black community fueled in part by Al Sharpton, now an MSNBC host and adviser to President Obama.
