Summer Birthdays Celebrated in the Winter!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — The day of a child’s birthday is one of great pride, a day he grows a year older, and what better way than to celebrate it at school with his classmates in school where he is the center of attention for the day, having a party and giving out doughnuts and nosh. But what about the children whose birthday falls out in the summer, while they are away in camp or day camp?

Inside Central Park, Google shows The Mall and some footpaths south of 72nd Street as bike paths — although park rules make them definitely off-limits. “The parks are one of the things we need to work on,” Filadelfo admitted. “We don't have great data for them.”

A helmet may not be enough to protect cyclists from Google Maps' latest feature.

The search engine rolled out a “bicycling directions” option yesterday that is filled with potentially fatal flaws, including routes that cut across Central Park's treacherous tranverse roads and steer cyclists to truck-riddled thoroughfares.

The Rebbe says:

1. This year the Parshios (Torah portions) of Vayakhel and Pekudei are read together on one Shabbos.

2. We know that generally the name of something hints at what the thing is all about. This is especially so with regards to the name of a Parshah (Torah portion) because everything in the Torah is perfectly exact.

Let us examine our two portions of this Shabbos and see if their names fit with their content:
