Meet the World’s Only Hassidic Private Investigator

New York Times

Mr. Levin, right, and an employee, identified as No. 36, on a surveillance assignment outside a school in Brooklyn.

JOE LEVIN, a private investigator in Brooklyn, was waiting to meet a new client in the parking lot of a kosher supermarket in Borough Park one recent morning. Glancing in the side-view mirror of his chauffeured sport utility vehicle, Mr. Levin said he liked this particular spot because he knew the manager, the delivery man and the security guard, who lets him borrow footage from the lot’s surveillance equipment.

The Writing of the Traveling Shluchim’s Sefer Torah Begins

On Daled Tammuz, family and friends of the Teldon’s family gathered at the Crown Heights home of Rabbi Binyomin and Leah Klein to begin the writing of a Sefer Torah in memory of their son, Boruch Nissan. Like Boruch, his Torah too, will be unique. The Torah is slated to travel around the world to aid Shluchim in their fledgling communities that cannot yet afford a Torah of their own.
