The Orlando Jewish community rejoiced as little Joseph received his bris ritual circumcision, a celebration entering him into a covenant with God. This ritual has been practiced ever since God commanded Abraham the first Jew: “This is My covenant that you shall observe between Me and you and your children after you, to circumcise your every male.”
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A thief broke into a minivan and nearly got away with it thanks to the NYPDs dawdling response time – taking over fifteen minutes to respond to the incident, despite repeated calls from Shomrim volunteers and dispatchers.

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.
