Charles P. Sifton
Charles P. Sifton, a federal judge in Brooklyn whose rulings paved the way for women to join the New York Fire Department and for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to run for a third term, died Monday at his home in Brooklyn. He was 74.

The cause was complications of sarcoidosis, a lung disease, his son Sam said.

Judge Sifton handled many major cases in more than 30 years on the bench, many of them as chief judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

One of those cases was the issue of the ownership of the library of Aguch. On January 6 1987 Judge Sifton declared victory in favor of the Chassidim and thus became Didan Notzach.

Entitled “Moving In,” Frederic Aranda’s photograph of Rabbi Yonah and Keren Blum, and their son Schneur Zalman, captures the young family in their early days at the Chabad Resource Center serving Columbia University. (Photo: Frederic Aranda)

He has won multiple awards for a portfolio that includes politicians, royalty, fashion models and film stars. He has photographed the likes as Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Ben Stiller, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and is regarded by some as one of the world’s most exciting fashion and portrait photographers.

But it is the world of Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis and their families that forms the unlikely subject for Frederic Aranda’s first solo exhibition, “Kosherface,” which begins this week in London.

Shula Swerdlove OBM, and Levi Wolowick OBM.

Dear fellow parents,

I write this letter with tears and a heavy heart, having just heard about the loss of yet another Shliach's child. I can not help myself from asking but one question: Aibershter why?

The pain, the suffering, and the devastating void that these selfless Shluchim are experiencing is something that, as a fellow mother, I can only pretend to fathom.

Rostov Celebrates the Rebbe Rashab’s Birthday

The Jewish community of Rostov joined together to celebrate the Rebbe Rashab’s birthday, which occurred on Shabbos, the 20th of MarCheshvan. Rostov Jews have a long tradition of visiting the Ohel of the Rebbe located in the Old Jewish cemetery in the center of the city. On Friday, the Ohr Avner Jewish Day School visited the Ohel and shared a moving experience, praying together at the holy site. For weeks prior to Chof Cheshvan the students were busy preparing creative projects and reports about the Rebbe Rashab, which were then displayed in the Shul at a community lecture on Sunday.
