Stanley Patz has been conditioned to expect his telephone to ring whenever a child goes missing, so he was bracing when he heard about the disappearance of an 8-year-old boy, Leiby Kletzky, last week in Brooklyn.

The Strange and the Unknown

By Boruch Werdiger and Mendel Spalter

Kaua‘i, Hawaii. What is it about this place?

Even the name, the street signs, the local paper, have an evocative vibe. All those H’s, W’s, and U’s make the cadences of Hawaiian sound like it’s the wind talking. It all has this exotic feel to it: something faraway, involving islands, and just foreign enough.

At the Beth Menachem Chabad on Dedham Street in Newton, Massachusetts, the Rebbetzin Nechama Prus, Rabbi Chaim Prus and Fred Chanowski, chairman of the Building Committee, look over blueprints of the almost finished building. The building is 8,500 square feet of usable area and some additional utility space.

Say “Chabad,” and many people likely picture men in dark suits, black hats and long beards. But Beth Menachem Chabad (BMC) in Newton isn’t your father’s Chabad. On any given Saturday, the men arrive ready to pray, dressed in everyday clothing: jeans, corduroys, trousers or suits.

Water Ferries Not Welcoming for Hasidic Families

NY Post

Hermann Schwartz and his brood are among many large Orthodox families angry that East River ferries have a kid limit.

It’s the many-child-left-behind policy. Furious Hasidic parents claim the 25-child limit on the new East River ferries is unfair — because it can’t accommodate their extra-large broods.

Jews and Politics: Is Libya a Just War?

by Avi Lesches

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” (Abraham Lincoln)

Over the past few weeks a dozen or so congressional leaders have sued the President in federal court for violating the War Powers Act. The War Powers Act allows the President to commit troops overseas for 90 days; should the President want a continued military presence, he would need a declaration of war from Congress.

Sicko Murderer Tried to Kidnap Other Children

NY Post

A woman who lives three doors down from “the Butcher of Brooklyn” said yesterday that the madman had tried to kidnap her young son right off their block, but that she scared him away with her screams.
