Members of Girl Scouts Troop 3131, the first Jewish troop in the national organization’s almost 100-year history, hold their meetings at Chabad-Lubavitch of the West Side in New York City.
NEW YORK — The girls of Troop 3131 are just like those at any of the hundreds of thousands such groups around the world: They wear uniforms, earn merit badges, and at last Sunday’s troop meeting over an art project devoted to a recent holiday, told each other about powerful women in their families.

The family of Rabbi Zalman Liberow, who was badly injured in the tragic accident that killed his son Avrohom Dovid and Pesha Leah Azoulai, were somewhat disappointed to hear of a setback in his condition.

While eagerly awaiting his return to NY, his recovery seems to have taken a slight step backwards. While doctors are working hard to improve his condition, the hope for a return to NY this week seems to have faded away.

BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn precinct is under investigation for manipulating statistics to make its cops look like better crimefighters, the Daily News has learned.

Two probes are centered around whether Bedford-Stuyvesant's 81st Precinct recorded felonies as misdemeanors and refused to take complaints from victims - all in an effort to drive down the crime rate, sources said.

GREECE — Grecian Jews marked the holiday of Tu B’Shevat by bringing life back to a forest southeast of Athens that was claimed by fire more than two years ago. All told, 80 members of the Greek capital’s Jewish community planted some 200 trees in Kalyvia Thorikou, a suburban area near the city’s international airport. Chabad-Lubavitch of Greece, in cooperation with the Plant-a-Tree organization, sponsored the Sunday arboreal event.
