Exactly one year after their children perished in the Mumbai terror attacks, Rabbi Nachman and Freida Holtzberg of New York and Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg of Afula, Israel, will participate in a memorial ceremony at the Nariman House, the heavily-damaged structure that once housed the city’s Chabad-Lubavitch center.

The agencies said Police Department workers who take 911 calls would consult with a Fire Department operator to ask questions and verify the accuracy of the information before sending a computer message to a fire dispatcher to put firefighters into action.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A young Bochur was viciously attacked and robbed Monday evening as he cut through Lefferts Park. The incident took place at around 5:30pm where a group of around five black teens pounced on the Bochur, punching him in the face a number of times and stealing his cell phone.
Beaten and severely injured the Bochur made his was out of the park screaming for help, and the first person he encountered, a Lubavitcher, called Shomrim and Hatzalah. “It was horrifying, [the victim] approached me gushing blood from all over his head and face and begged me for help” said the bystander, who asked not to be named.
A Brooklyn judge has thrown out a rabbinical court’s arbitration award, finding that the court’s refusal to allow the claimant to select his own counsel violated New York law, notwithstanding the fact that the claimant participated in the proceeding without objection.
The decision constitutes the first time a New York court has addressed in a written opinion the issue of whether an arbitration panel can require that attorneys appearing before them must receive their approval.
It is also a rare reversal of an arbitration award, in which even mistakes of fact and misapplications of the law are insufficient grounds for reversal.
