600 Attend Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh Annual Dinner

PITTSBURGH, PA [CHI] — Over six hundred people listened as the world renowned author of over seventy books, and expert in addictive behavior praised the Rebbes shluchim for their selfless dedication.

Speaking with reverence of the late Rabbi Sholom Posner founder of the Yeshiva Schools in Pittsburgh, Rabbi Twerski said that it was because of the selfless dedication he saw in Rabbi Posner that he decided to move his family to Pittsburgh and to send his children to the Yeshiva schools.

Taking a mid-afternoon break from running his busy Williamsburg restaurant, David Lowey hustled over to a new Bushwick gym and hopped on an elliptical machine, pedaling vigorously in his full Satmar regalia.

Tzitzit dangling from his black pants and payes swinging over his ears, the 290-pound 26-year-old breathed heavily, as he scrolled through the day’s Daf Yomi Talmud page online, from a touch-screen computer panel in front of him.

When he began working out three months ago, Lowey was the lone Satmar member of Green Fitness Studio, an eco-friendly gym that opened in December and serves a primarily hipster clientele.

But with Lowey, who has already lost 60 pounds, leading the way, more than 100 members of his community now work out at Green Fitness, some in their three-piece formal wear, others sampling the gym’s complimentary sweats.

With quiet restored to the streets of Bangkok, Rabbi Yosef C. Kantor, the Chabad-Lubavitch emissary who had urged Jewish residents in the city to pray for the peace of Thailand, reported just before the dawn of the Jewish Sabbath that communal institutions had largely been spared the effects of a mid-week crackdown on anti-government protesters.
