Officer Anthony Minoia
A Bronx cop with an Ivy League degree is preparing to sue the city, claiming his failure to write tickets for 18 months led to a violent confrontation with his boss.

Officer Anthony Minoia says he was assigned to a one-block beat known in the 42nd Precinct as the “punishment post” after a bad evaluation.

The Columbia grad says the fact that he didn't write any tickets after that was not a protest against his boss, Deputy Inspector Timothy Bugge.

“I'm not going to pull out my summons book and write a summons because my boss is telling me he's going to make it difficult for me if I don't,” said Minoia, 46, an Air Force vet. “I don't use my powers to make a deputy inspector get promoted.”

A group of ultra-Orthodox rabbis is waging a schmear campaign against a staple of the Jewish diet: lox.

Smoked salmon should no longer be considered kosher, they say, because the fish often contain parasitic worms.

Rabbi Adam Mintz, a historian of eruvim in the United States, displayed maps of the boundaries of eruvim in New York City.

Last Saturday morning, as a blizzard sputtered out its last squalls over Passaic, N.J., Chaya Leah Smolen sent her husband and several children off to synagogue. She issued the children a message that might seem to contradict the essence of winter motherhood: do not carry any tissues.
