Another day and a new character shows up at 770. A reader sent us in this video, taken with his mobile phone, of the latest one to show up and preach his new message – the end of the Talmud. Police got involved and sent the man, who was dressed in a blue robe and cotton tzitzis, on his way after a crowd gathered and got loud.

by Haskell Nussbaum – Jewish Tribune

Outgoing Canadian Armed Forces chaplain Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn shakes hands with former chaplain Gen. Stan Johnstone.

OTTAWA – A rabbi, a minister and an imam walk into a barracks… The Canadian Armed Forces had hundreds of Christian chaplains, the Maltese Cross in its symbol, and “Onward Christian Soldiers” as the official March Past, but in 2007, after Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn became the first rabbi to serve as a chaplain since World War II, things began to change.

Arieh Perecowicz received six tickets for a total of $1,400 from the Bureau du taxi, a municipal agency whose inspectors ordered the cabbie to remove the items. ‘In 43 years, no one has said they were offended or opened the door to take another taxi,’ he says.

A Montreal cabbie learned on Thursday that his taxi isn't a vehicle for freedom of expression and religion. Arieh Perecowicz lost his court challenge against Montreal taxi authorities who fined him for filling his cab with an assortment of personal and religious objects.
