Wrecked Nariman House after the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India.

Packed furniture, heaps of cement and a few labourers welcome you at Colaba’s Nariman House, days before the third anniversary of the November 26 attacks. Six months after Rabbi Moshe Holtzberg, brother of slain Rabbi Gavriel, reached a peaceful settlement with the orthodox Jewish Chabad movement over the ownership rights of the house, the Colaba building continues to wear a deserted look.

3 Years Later, Nariman House Has Yet to Recover

It was with warmth and love that the Peoria community came to celebrate with Chabad Jewish Center of Peoria and of Bradley University, as they celebrated 10 years this past Sunday, November 20.

HaGaon HaRav Menachem Mendel Mendelson ZT”L, the Rav of Komomiyut, Israel for the past 33 years, was niftar today, 27 Cheshvan, 5772. The Rav was a dear and close friend of Lubavitch, particularly close with Rabbi Moshe Havlin of Kiryat Gat, and participated in many Lubavitcher events.

In the above video clip, Rabbi Mendelson tells the Rebbe that the Chabad Yeshiva in Kiryat Gat is in need of financial help. The Rebbe tells him to find 2 more Rabbis (anyone with smicha) and pasken that they should get money. Rabbi Mendelson did what the Rebbe suggested, and since then the Kiryat Gat Yeshiva has been doing well financially!

Harlem Gives Birth to First Torah Scroll in 75 Years

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Rabbi Simon Jacobson talks about the power of a Torah scroll during a celebration of the first scroll to be commissioned in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem in 75 years.

Not too long ago, it might have been one of the least likely locations from where a religious scribe would start writing a Torah scroll, but on Sunday, families and friends affiliated with a Jewish center in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem gathered to celebrate just such an occasion.
