Thailand Flooding Destroys Koh Samui Chabad Center

By Joshua Runyan for Chabad.org
Rabbi Chaim Eliezer Ashkenazi and locals assess damage to the Chabad House in Koh Samui, Thailand, after floodwaters ravaged the resort town.

A week after torrential rains flooded much of the tropical paradise in Koh Samui, Thailand, claiming dozens of lives in the countryside and causing extensive damage to the local Chabad House and attached kosher restaurant, preliminary assessments indicate that travelling Jewish backpackers have safely left the area.

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Once again allegations are being raised concerning the NYPD’s persistent downplaying crime. Officers from the 71st Precinct responded to a call of a stolen purse last week on President Street, but the responding officers refused to file a crime report for robbery, and instead they only filed a report for ‘lost property’. Video surveillance captured the robbery, yet police still refuse to take interest in the incident.
