GOSHEN, NY [CHI — On Sunday, January 23, a large crowd gathered to celebrate the ribbon cutting and grand opening of Chabad’s new Monroe-Chester Center. The celebration also included a ceremony inaugurating the writing of a brand new Torah scroll.
A week has gone by since an “Installation Ceremony” crowned Rabbi Yosef Braun as the third member of the Crown Height’s Beis Din. The event, the culmination of months of backroom deals, private negotiations and heated public debate, should have brought an end to the discord and fighting that has plagued our community. Yet all was not as it seemed. Rabbi Osdoba, the senior member of the Beis Din, made a simple request – that Rabbi Braun show the two smichas mentioned in the psak. His request unfulfilled, Rabbi Osdoba was absent from the installation.
What happened, and what does all of this mean to us?

There are no words to describe the recent events our community has been through, amongst them the untimely passing of Hachosson Yossi Kreiman OB”M. In light of this, the bochurim of Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad have composed a song in his memory, which expresses the troubled times we live in, as well as the positive manner in which we respond to our troubles, as we strive to stay strong through these final darkest days of golus.
We live in a world that would be unrecognizable to King Achashverosh; but the newly released the Kol Menachem Megillas Esther, Slager Edition, bridges the gap between Achashverosh and Android, between Persia and iPads, between G-dly intervention and Google.
