Texas volunteer Ileene Robinson prepares a pre-holiday celebration at a state-supported residential facility for people with special needs.

For hundreds of Texas residents whose special needs preclude the possibility of independent living, state-supported residential facilities provide the care and support unavailable at home. And while they’re a distinct minority, Jewish residents – whose spiritual needs were, just a generation ago, frequently neglected by government agencies – can take part in a variety of programs offered by a decade-long partnership between caregivers and a Houston non-profit.

An estimated 900 people, including politicians, prominent business leaders and one professional football player, descended on the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in downtown Newark to celebrate the decennial anniversary of the state’s branch of the Friendship Circle, a Chabad-Lubavitch program that pairs teenage volunteers with children with special needs.

Ari Halberstam HYD
On March 1, 1994, a gunman in a car opened fire on a van carrying more than a dozen Hasidic students as it began to cross the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, critically wounding two young men and injuring two others.

The lone gunman, driving a blue Chevrolet Caprice equipped with a submachine gun, two 9mm guns, and a “street sweeper” shotgun, pursued the van full of terrified students across the bridge.

He fired in three separate bursts, spraying both sides of the van. He then disappeared into traffic as the van came to a stop at the Brooklyn end of the bridge.

The injured Yeshiva students were among dozens who were returning from a Manhattan hospital where the spiritual leader of the Lubavitch movement, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, had undergone minor surgery.
