Turkish Company Wants to Build Future NYC Taxis in Brooklyn

Gothamist

Wheelchair accessible interior of the Karsan Taxi of Tomorrow.

The Taxi Of Tomorrow might be built in Brooklyn! Karsan, the Turkish manufacturer in the running to build New York’s next generation of taxicabs, is now upping the ante (and changed its tune) by pledging to manufacture the wheelchair-accessible vehicles in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. The new pledge makes the Karsan cab the only one of the three finalists which would be built in America (it had previously said it would build them in Turkey).

Photos: Seudas Moshiach in 770!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — The last day of Passover (“Acharon Shel Pesach”) is particularly associated with Moshiach and the future redemption. The Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of partaking in a “Seudas Moshiach” (Moshiachs Meal) on the afternoon of the last day of Passover. In addition to the Matzah eaten at “Seudas Moshiach,” the Rebbes of Chabad added the custom of drinking four cups of wine, as in the Seder held on Passover’s first days.

Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl Program “As Vital As Ever”

Jerusalem Post

Representatives of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl Ring the NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell March 7, 2009.

It’s been 25 years since the explosion at Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear power station but the health implications facing the next generation are still as serious as ever, according to the main Jewish charity working with communities living in the region affected by what is considered the world’s worst man-made ecological disaster.

Eli Federman’s Op-Ed in the Forward: Ending the Culture of Silence

Forward

At the Passover Seder, we are supposed to ask questions about why things are done the way they are. Recently I asked some questions about the government-funded social service agency that serves my Jewish community in Brooklyn, the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council. Specifically, I questioned the policy that only allows men to vote for the council’s leaders. In public letters I argued that the policy might violate the Constitution (or at least civil rights statutes), and I cited various sources in support of my contention that there is no halachic reason for excluding women from voting in elections for a secular organization.
