Des Monies Register

Court is adjourned until tomorrow morning, when the defense is schedule to present its case to the jury.

Sholom Rubashkin’s defense team argued this afternoon that the judge should throw out all 83 misdemeanor child labor charges because the state did not prove the former plant executive wanted to hire or actually hired any minors.

“The case is underwhelming and ill-conceived and should be put to a stop right now,” said defense attorney Mark Weinhardt. “The evidence in this case is that Mr. Rubashkin did absolutely nothing.”

Rabbi Yekusiel and Fraida Malka Schusterman along with their daughter.

The Rebbe had a dream to reach every person on the face of the earth and inspire them to turn to the Torah as the guiding light by which to achieve personal and global redemption. To attain this goal, the Rebbe invented the shaliach. The Rebbe’s dream began “from the time that He was a child in cheder, and even earlier than that” The Rebbes goal “a vision of Moshiach”.

I received a call from a neighboring Shliach the other day. It was about a student of his, originally from Atlanta. This student comes from a minimal Jewish background. Besides for the Pesach Seder and the High Holidays (“sometimes,” as the mother shared with me), there is no Yiddishkeit to talk of.

“We don't do Friday night dinners,” confessed the mother. “We have too much going on. Julie (names have been changed) goes to dance, the boy plays sports, and we are not really motivated for Shabbos.”

Their oldest daughter, at college, away from home for the first time, has fallen in with a group of students from a different religion. She is now “discovering G-d,” and feeling really good about it. The G-d she should be looking for is, of course, a G-d she knows very little about. She has now finally found something to confide in.

Man & Woman or Husband & Wife?

Written by Two Nightlife Advocates

NYC can be overwhelming for a born and bred Brooklynite, just as well as any out-of-towner. Between work and errands, bridal showers and dating, life in the city gets pretty hectic. However, once a week, there is an oasis in time when young adult women can get together to kick back and relax. No, this is not our holy Shabbos, which is just as anticipated, but rather, a tastefully transformed lounge where one can unwind, surrounded by fellow peers from all backgrounds. Enjoy a warm dinner and scrumptious treats in a cozy ambiance created by low ottomans and glowing candles. Catch up with friends not seen all week. Have an intellectual conversation with complete strangers as though old friends. Soak in words of wisdom from Rabbis, professionals and mentors.

This is Nightlife.

MELBOURNE, Australia [CHI] — Once again, Melbourne’s Women in Unity held another astoundingly successful event — its fifth since its establishment, in response to the Mumbai tragedy. The commitment to the unity of the Jewish people that originally galvanized its founders, Rebbetzins Riva Cohen, Sara Gutnick, and Miriam Telsner, set the tone for an evening that warmed almost two hundred women on one of the coldest wintery nights of the season. Promoted as a pre-Shavous gathering for women of all segments of Melbourne’s wider Jewish communities, the evening highlighted the theme of ‘the women were first’. The idea that it was the women who were approached first - even before the men at the giving of the Torah, was heard throughout the evening as a source of pride and a call to action.
