NEW YORK [AP] — It was a miserable morning in New York, rain falling heavily and a 30 mph wind that made holding an umbrella difficult. Yet a man walked briskly up Fifth Avenue, balancing his umbrella and dodging pedestrians as he texted from his smart phone.

Jewish Kids Radio the New Motzai Shabbos Sensation!

After partnering up with the Jewish Kids Radio, CrownHeights.info rekindled the excitement for what was once a Motzai Shabbos sensation. Jewish children from around the world eager with anticipation for the weekend show, which features exciting kosher entertainment and chances to win amazing prizes!

Thousands of kids tuned in over the past three weeks, and the one complaint we have had to contend with was that the show isn’t long enough! So in response, this week’s show will be one whole hour!

The Rebbe says:

1. Our Sages comment on a verse in this week’s Torah portion which reads, “And Yisro (Jethro) said, “Blessed is Hashem (G-d) Who rescued you (the Jewish people)”, and say, “It is a blemish in Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) and the Jewish people who did not say, ‘Blessed’, until Yisro came and said, ‘Blessed’”.

However we must understand what this means because, as we read in last week’s Torah portion, Moshe Rabbeinu and the Jewish people did indeed thank Hashem when they sang to Him as they were walking through the Yam Suf (the sea of reeds)! Why do our Sages say that “it is a blemish in Moshe Rabbeinu and the Jewish people”?

Under ‘Lox’ and Key

NY Post

SMOKED: Roughed-up Sergey Muzlayov, who allegedly stuffed his pants with $9.99 packets of Nova lox is detained outside Landau’s Market.

When the thief picked the lox, the cops shouted, “Spread ’em!”

A bagel-brained bandit stuffed a dozen packs of smoked salmon in his pants at a Brooklyn deli — but got schmeared by a couple of workers before he could get out the door, police said yesterday.
