Kennedy for nearly half a century, leaving President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marring the end of his first year in office.

Kids of Courage Facilitate Skiing!

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Upwards of 30 children who battle for their lives on a daily basis continued to conquer their illnesses through adventure yesterday as they took to the ski slopes of Sugarbush Resort in Waitsfield, Vt. Utilizing the specifically-trained volunteers from Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, the only year-round disabled sports program with daily programming in Vermont, Kids of Courage and its entourage of more than 100 physicians, paramedics, nurses, physical therapists, and specially trained lay staff helped these kids forget the tubes, pumps and needles that go along with their personal daily challenges—and taught them to ski.

Chabad’s Haiti Relief Aid Reaches Orphans

By Dvora Lakein for Lubavitch.com

“Please I am hungry. Please give me something to eat.”

HAITI — As Rabbi Shimon Pelman returned to his Santo Domingo home late Monday, the cries from Haiti’s streets pierced his ears. Pelman arrived in the earthquake-shattered capital of Port-au-Prince early that morning with the most basic of supplies. Milk, tuna, sardines, pasta, and medicine filled the cavernous truck. A second truck donated by Chabad arrived in Haiti’s capital Tuesday morning, bearing vegetables and fruit.

RUSSIA — Americans across the economic spectrum have radically lowered their living standards in the past two years, in ways many had never anticipated.

For most, it was a matter of numbers, not choice. But one young couple’s decision to give up their car, their home, and the comforts of an all-American life, had nothing at all to do with the economy.
