2,000 Year-Old Sketch of Menorah Found in Jerusalem
Arutz 7
The diagonal branches of the menorah in the sketch (center) seem to vindicate the Rebbe’s opinion that the menorah in the Beis Hamikdosh had straight branches as in the Rambam’s sketch (right), and not curved as usually depicted (left).
Exciting finds, including an intact Roman era sword and a stone “sketch” engraving of the Menorah, have been discovered in archeological digs near the Temple Mount recently, and the Antiquities Authority is making them known for Tisha B’Av – the anniversary of the Temple’s destruction.

Chabad Motorcycle ‘Gang’ Spreads Judaism
Brooklyn Ink
A few days before Passover last April, a stream of RVs decorated with Hebrew letters rolled down Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn. The caravan of 61 vehicles was not a trailer park gone rogue, but an annual parade of the so-called Mitzvah Tanks that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement uses to encourage Jews toward religious observance. This year, though, the tanks were flanked by the the newest and perhaps unlikeliest members of Chabad outreach, a group of Hasidic and Orthodox motorcyclists called Rebbe’s Riders.

A little over a week ago, Michael Lesher took to the pages of the New York Post to publish a column of unabashed hate and seething venom against Brooklyn’s Shomrim patrols. Apparently unsatisfied with the previous assault, the NY Post has decided to launch another attack on the Jewish volunteer safety patrol from its editorial pages. Ungrateful for the tremendous effort Shomrim put together to find the missing Leiby Kletzky, the New York Post summons the audacity to accuse Shomrim of getting in the way of the NYPD during the investigation.
