Jeff Jacoby at Chabad Center of Sudbury

SUDBURY, MA [CHI] — This past Sunday the Chabad Center of Sudbury hosted Boston Globe Columnist Jeff Jacoby for a lecture on the Media & Israel. Jeff who is known as a great writer and a strong advocate and supporter of Israel in the Boston Globe and other major media outlets shared his perspective on Israel and the Media and why so much of the media often gets it wrong when it comes to Israel.

In honor of Yud Shevat – Shishim Shana, the Vaad Hatmimim is planning a more elaborate program during the days of Yud Shevat. Anticipated by bochurim annualy, the Kinus Hatmimim has grown to be a phenomenal success. The Vaad has been working to keep the program inspirational and meaningful while retaining the extraordinary energy and koach that the Temimim feel during this special Kinus.

Landslide: Many poorly constructed homes were simply swept away by the magnitude of the quake.
Inset: Getzy Markowitz.

Two headlines this week interested me in that I have been following their development since their posting. The first intrigues me in terms of history, the second triggers my sense of humanity. One sheds light onto the other which is shrouded in disaster and darkness.

The number of fatalities in Haiti's throttling earthquake is still unclear, but as it is expected to exceed one hundred thousand, already the figure confounds the comprehension of man.
