Man Held in NYC Car Bomb Attack to Appear in Court

NEW YORK [AP] — A Pakistan-born U.S. citizen accused of driving a bomb-laden SUV into Times Square and parking it on a street lined with restaurants and Broadway theaters was to appear in court Tuesday to face charges that he tried to set off a massive fireball and kill Americans, federal authorities said.

The Secret of Kaddish

Tonight, Monday evening, my siblings and I will commemorate the fifth yartzeit (anniversary of passing) of my dear father, Gershon Jacobson, who passed away five years ago on the 20th of Iyar, May 29, 2005.

With that special feeling reserved for people who were forced to watch the earth close up on a loved one, I will go to the synagogue and recite the kaddish prayers, connecting to my father’s zestful and inspiring memory.

And as I say Kaddish, I will have in mind a young friend of mine, Nosson Deitch, who was killed yesterday, on Lag Baomer, in a boat accident in Florida. A lump fills my throat as I write these words, about a beautiful, majestic and sincere soul, whose sudden death at the age of 21 is truly inexplicable and devastating beyond words.

Family and Friends – Everyone, at Nosson Nota’s Levaya

Over 1000 family members and friends of Nosson Nota Deitsch OBM stood in knowing silence, together reciting kapitelach of Tehillim in unison in front of 770. Many shedding tears into their siddurim, as the aron stopped for a moment.

New Engagement!
