One calamity after another has befallen the Chabad community at large. Young lives have been taken from us, Jews are facing prosecution, and others already sit in prison.

Most Crown Heights residents wave their hands dismissively when the case against six Shomrim members is brought up. “It’s just politics,” they say. Despite the fact that these are fellow Jews, the young men standing trial on Wednesday are also the volunteers who altruistically aid the community daily, in countless ways. It would be commendable of the community to now actively take a stand for fellow Jews and give support to those who have been on-call 24/7 to serve others.

Shlomo Rubashkin and his wife enter court. He faces almost 170 charges

It is nearly a year and a half since the government’s immigration raid on the Agriprocessors Plant in Postville, IA. This started a chain reaction that eventually brought bankruptcy to the company, and the interruption of the Shechita in Postville, the effects of which have been felt all over the world. The tidal wave of problems that began in Postville was most strongly felt in the New York Metropolitan Area where the price of Glatt Kosher meat rose at least 25% in the wake of the raid.

NEW YORK — If you feel the earth move under your feet, it just might be the cops.

The NYPD is equipping its police cars with a new high-tech siren that you will not only hear but also feel.

It's called the Rumbler, and its aim is to grab the attention of even the most distracted cellphone-yakking, text-messaging or headphone-addled pedestrian or motorist.
