We are receiving many tips that the NYPD’s Traffic Police are out this morning with a vengeance, towing any cars that are improperly or illegally parked cars.

Hatzolah of Los Angeles has put it’s 3rd ambulance into service. This ambulance was donated by Mr. Alex and Eva Friedman in memory of their friends and neighbors in Kiskufelgyhaza, Hungary that were killed in Auschwitz in 1944.
A Rebbe is far more than a Rabbi. The latter is a person who is knowledgeable about Jewish laws and practices. The Rebbe, on the other hand, not only possesses such revealed knowledge, but is also an expert on the inner essence of life, the concealed knowledge. The Rebbe is often described as a person touched by G-d, someone who possesses immense powers to sustain the lives of his followers, his Chassidim, on earthly and spiritual planes. The Chassidim, in turn, feel dependent on their Rebbe for guidance and help in accessing Divine grace about all matters — spiritual and mundane (Dr Joseph H. Berke: A Tale of Two Orphans)

Yud Shevat (the tenth of the Hebrew month of Shevat) marks the anniversary of the passing of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. For Chassidim today, however, the primary significance of Yud Shevat is that it is the day on which the Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, accepted the reins of Chabad leadership 60 years ago.
In honor of 60 years CrownHeights.info and the Avner Institute would like to present a vividly powerful description of a memorable event that took place in 770 over 40 years ago: the completion of the “Sefer Torah to Greet Moshiach,” commissioned by the Previous Rebbe in 1942, and finally completed on the eve of Yud Shevat, which that year also happened to be Erev Shabbos. With special thanks to Rabbi Yossi Lew, Chabad emissary to Atlanta, Georgia, and Dean of the Atlanta Semicha Program.

FEATURE ARTICLE: Did you hear? There’s a new shul in town. The elaborate rumor is that it’s operating out of a flower shop on Albany Avenue with young men and women singing Carlebach songs, participating in kiddushim…there’s even an instrumental havdallah. How radical, one might think. A traditional Lubavitch shul is often perceived as a place where men daven and chitchat while the chazan sings solely Lubavitch tunes and women are sectioned off to daven quietly among themselves. Do traditional shuls meet the needs of all Lubavitchers or is this new shul necessary? And what is really going on there?
