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.

The following is a letter from Hatzolah of Los Angeles to the entire community:
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A Jewish woman was attacked, shoved to the ground and robbed on Eastern Parkway Monday morning as she was about to enter an apartment building, and the entire incident was captured on a surveillance camera.
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.

Rabbi Yossi Refson, who heads Chabad of Charleston and the Low Country, says the city reminds him in some ways of his country of birth, England.
It was tense conversation. The editor at NPR (clearly Jewish) was defending the reporting about violence in Brooklyn. Twenty years ago black mobs had taken to the streets after a car accident that took the life of a black child. Jews huddled in their homes in fear. Cars were torched, Jews beaten, Norman Rosenbaum, a Jewish student from Australia lay dead, killed by the mob. Police were held back by an incompetent mayor. The media whose job was to report the facts were creating a fantasy, claiming, “there are conflicts between blacks and Jews. Tensions are high as ethnic groups clash.” I told the editor she had the story wrong. There were no attacks by Jews, it was a one way battle. Finally in exasperation I yelled at her, “Jews are dying and you are lying.”
Every year, Andy Luper looks forward to the Jewish softball game. An active congregant of Chabad-Lubavitch of Arizona for the past 20 years, Luper says the game reminds him of his childhood.
Rev. Al Sharpton will be among the panelists at a forum on black-Jewish relations 20 years after Crown Heights Sunday night at the Hampton Synagogue.
BROOKLYN — A crowd of thousands is expected to converge on Sullivan County Community College in upstate New York to cheer on runners in a 200K relay race from Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to Loch Sheldrake to raise money for children with cancer.
After nearly a week of rioting and chaos, a sense of calm has finally returned to the streets in cities across the United Kingdom. What started as a youth protest in North London last Sunday after the death of a London man quickly turned violent. Police struggled to quell the looting and destruction as it spread across London and other cities.
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A shoplifter walked into Sunshine Pharmacy on Kingston Avenue today and helped himself to a backpack full of items only to be caught an arrested.
With the quick thinking and ingenuity of the dedicated staff, Oholei Torah day camp turned a dreary rain day into an exciting “duck parade” and “mini amusement” park day for the younger division.
Let’s just say we are all happy that the three weeks and nine-days are finally over. Superficially, while it seems that this happiness expresses itself on various levels in a cross-section of people – the truth is, at its core we are all rejoicing for the same reason – that is, our ability at this time to achieve through kindness and compassion what we have attempted to do through sadness and grief. But just as the seasons change, this joyous season too will pass on by unless we can effect true and lasting change; change that we have been pursuing for thousands of years and until now has been so illusive.
