JERUSALEM — It smells like a McDonald's french fry, it tastes like a McDonald's french fry, but if it's from the McDonald's at Jerusalem's Central Bus Station, it won't look like a McDonald's french fry - at least the wrapping won't.

The kidney donor and its recipient.

BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — Leah is a young and vibrant wife and mother living in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Aliza is a middle aged grandmother of twenty six living in Bnei Brak. The two might never have met except for the fact that Aliza was ill and desperately in need of a kidney transplant in order to survive. Leah was determined to be a donor and to save someone else’s life. And that’s how these two brave women formed an indelible bond.

Visitors discuss a new exhibit at the central Chabad-Lubavitch library in New York.

A new exhibit at a Jewish archive in New York City is shedding light on the dissemination of religious material in the days before the printing press.

Comprised of old manuscripts, fading marriage certificates and handwritten editions of the Talmud – once consigned to be nothing more than filler for the bindings of printed books – the display at the central Chabad-Lubavitch library in Brooklyn represents the collective discovery of staff members cataloguing the library’s vast holdings.

Rabbi Alexander Namdar, right, planned a Torah dedication for two brothers who lost their parents and three siblings in the Aug. 9, 2001 bombing of a Jerusalem pizzeria.

The surviving members of a family ripped apart by a suicide bomber’s blast extracted some measure of consolation from the tragedy by dedicating a Torah to a synagogue and community center in Sweden.

For the more than 100 people who paraded the holy scroll through the streets of Gothenburg and on to the city’s Chabad-Lubavitch center, the celebration reflected a mix of emotions. On the one hand, it brought back the sorrow and pain experienced eight years ago by the Schijveschuurder family when a Palestinian terrorist targeted a popular Jerusalem pizzeria.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department has sent its officers to 11 cities around the globe — even once dispatching a husband and wife to Abu Dhabi. But the return from the world has been far greater.

Of the 5,593 officers hired since July 2006, when the department began tracking the nationalities of police officers, 1,042 of them were foreign-born — hailing from 88 countries, according to department records.
