A copy of the document was forwarded to CrownHeights.info showing the Osdoba camp immediate compliance with the ruling.

What is the significance in the Jewish calendar of the 28th day of the month of Sivan?

To the seasoned Chabad-Lubavitch chassid, the date is immediately recognizable as the day on which our Rebbe and Rebbetzin, of righteous memory, arrived safely in America in 1941, after escaping Nazi-occupied France.

There was a time that I figured everyone to be mortal except for Helen Thomas. However, the 89 year old “Queen of the Press,” has proven her mortality through a royal indiscretion that will discredit her legacy.

Millions have now seen the footage of Thomas suggesting that Jews, “Get the hell out of Palestine,” and “Go back to Germany and Poland.” What's more, Thomas' awful remarks were made at a White House reception celebrating American-Jewish heritage.
