For many of us residing in Crown Heights for the last 30 years, the International Chocolate and Almond Corp., aka The Kosher Candy Store, was a familiar stop on our, shpatzir (walk) down Kingston Ave.. Mr. Isac Zellemaier, OB"M was often seen outside his store which he ran with his brother Heshy, was always looking to see how he could help improve the neighborhood in general and the lot of those who needed assistance in particular. He did this tirelessly and without fanfare while running the store and raising his family in Boro Park.

New Generation of Scholars Ponders Jewish Existential Issues

by Zalman Abraham – Lubavitch.com

Hanover, New Hampshire — Is it rational to believe in the historical accuracy and divine origin of the Bible? Can Jews exist as a community without a land of their own? Is the traditional role of women in Judaism an affront to feminism?

These were some of the questions Jewish students explored and debated this past Sunday-Monday, at the 2nd Annual Sinai Scholars Symposium, hosted at Dartmouth’s Nelson A. Rockefeller Center.

Jewish Leaders Raise Concerns of Overzealous Prosecution After Disproportionate Sentencing Recommendation

NEW YORK — American Jewish leaders are expressing shock and outrage at the federal government's recommendation that Sholom Rubashkin be sentenced to life in prison for his role as an executive with the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa. It is the latest example of a prosecution that has repeatedly targeted Rubashkin for unfair treatment compared to others who have been accused of employing illegal immigrants or compromising the security of a bank loan.

SHANGHAI — At first glance, the carton is unremarkable: boxy and white, with a crudely sketched pastoral scene printed on the front — a forlorn bovine lounging in a pasture.

But on closer examination, two elements leap out: the words “Organic Low Fat Milk” and a drawing of a smiling, jaunty cow wearing a yarmulke — the very strict Cholov Yisroel hekhsher.
