Bosko Savanovic holds $115 ticket for parking on New Year's Day.

Stupidity didn't take a holiday on E. 38th St.

A traffic agent inexplicably hit at least 10 cars parked along a block in Murray Hill with $115 tickets Friday, even though rules were suspended for New Year's Day.

When confronted by angry drivers, the meterman refused to back down. Instead, he insisted he was following the orders of a supervisor.

Family, what does it mean when we say this word? Is it just a name for people who happen to be our parents or siblings? Is it a way to refer to those who share our blood with whom we speak to on occasion? Or is family a network we need to lean on in times of crisis or tragedy?

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax., Florida
One of the Chassidim of the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Reb Shalom Dov Ber, was a successful entrepreneur who made vast fortunes in the lumber industry.

So faithful was the Chassid that he sought the Rebbe’s advice and instruction in all his life’s affairs, including matters of commerce. Never would he make a business decision, large or small, without the Rebbe’s advice and blessing.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had one day presented itself in which he stood to amass tremendous profits. This was to be his largest venture ever. It required the commitment of his entire capital but the profit was so enormous, he could double or even triple his entire worth in this single transaction.

After examining it from all sides, it appeared to him that the deal was a no brainer. So as usual, he was off jovially to seek the blessings of his sainted Rebbe. But to his dismay, after listening to all the details, the Rebbe recommended against the deal.

The chossid’s attempts to educate the Rebbe on the positive indicators and exceptional profits were to no avail. Dejectedly the chossid returned home feeling like he had lost fortunes on account of the Rebbe.

A delegation of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace (RCP) met with U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mr. James Cunningham, today and called for a reassessment of the entire U.S. policy vis-à-vis the Israelis and Palestinains. “By promoting the establishment of a Palestinian state the U.S. is only shooting itself in the foot,” the rabbis warned.
