We Are Changing the Clock

Tonight (Sunday morning) at 2:00am we change our clock’s 1 hour back to 1:00am, and gain an hour of sleep.

So make sure to change your clocks before you get to bed as to avoid any confusion (and being an hour early to everything).

Op-Ed: Inspirational moment in Crown Heights

by Yosef Katzman

Last week at a Chof Cheshvan Lchaim-Farbrengen, I had the privilege of sitting with Rabbi Ephraim Piekarski, a well known Chosid and Tamid Chochom here in Crown Heights. We had a very nice pleasant warm Chasidisher Farbrengen, Baalei-Batim style.

After a few Lchaim’s Rabbi Piekarski announced that he’s on a high, he is very inspired by what he witnessed in the last few hours.
