Some of the worst-hit areas were on Staten Island. At Amboy Road in Bay Terrace, Department of Environmental Protection crews tried to clear the clogged storm drains. In one intersection, eight cars were totally submerged and had to be pulled to dry land.

New York City set a record for rainfall on Sunday. By 5 p.m., 7.6 inches had fallen at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens — the most ever recorded there in a single day. The National Weather Service said the driving rain broke the previous record of 6.3 inches, set in 1983.

In the 1890s, Russian Jews fleeing anti-Semitic violence and discrimination arrived by the thousands to a remote corner of the Argentine Pampas. They founded hamlets similar to the shtetls they left behind. They spoke Yiddish, built synagogues and traditional Jewish schools — and became farmers and gauchos, the mythical Argentine cowboys.

Jews and Politics: Can the Downgrade of the US Credit Spell Chaos for Our Nation?

by Avi Lesches

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him/her to hold in higher esteem those who think alike then those who think differently.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Chaos, anarchy and bloodshed have engulfed London; it’s one of the worst outbreaks of violence that London has seen in a very long time. The riots are not happening in the slums or poor sections of the city, rather in upper and middle class neighborhoods. Who are these rioters? Young teens, college kids and young adults. Many of them are gang members and troubled teens who are looking to lash out against a society that has promised them so much, yet in the end has left them with nothing.

Jews in Sports: Humble Beginnings to Bright Future

Dani Cole and Zevi Steinhauser, commissioners of the Crown Heights Softball League.

It had to happen that Yaffa Wigs, Advantage Wholesale Supply, Landmark Funding Group and softball would all be mentioned in one breath. It was only a matter of time.
