Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba on the backround of his letter.

As it seems from a letter that was distributed to homes in Crown Heights this week, Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba has taken the first step to ending the madness and infighting in the Crown Heights Beis Din. The following is a translation of the letter.

BS”D. 13th of Elul, Chodesh of Rachamim, 5769.

To Anash residing in Crown Heights - Kan Tziva Hashem es Habrocho - and to Anash worldwide who cherish the Rebbe's Shcchuna. Hashem bless you all.

As a follow up to my letter of Rosh Chodesh Elul, I am pleased to notify Anash in Crown Heights and worldwide that, with Hashem's help, we have successfully reached an agreement for a Din Torah to deal with all the topics related to the disagreements in our shechuna over the past years. Since Torah was given to bring peace in the world we are assured that through a Din Torah peace will reign in our shechuna.

Rabbi Chaim Hanoka bringing water to the firefighter’s staging area, roughly 20 miles from his home.

PASADENA, CA — It has been a long and smoky week in Southern California as firefighters valiantly battle the area’s largest-ever fire and residents race to safety. With 58,000 hectares of land charred, fire officials are now declaring 38 percent containment.

“But that’s still almost 70 percent that remains unchecked,” worries Rabbi Chaim Hanoka.

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Florida.
Strolling in the park one day, a woman stumbled upon a precious stone. Before she could place the gleaming object into in her bag, she was approached by a vagabond seeking alms. Nothing the woman was willing to give him seemed to satisfy the needy stranger.

The kind woman finally turned to the poor man in dismay: “What do you want?” What will make you happy? The beggar pointed to the diamond in her hand: “That’s what I want.”

With little hesitation or ado the woman placed the diamond into his hand: “Here,” she said “It’s all yours.” After a generous exchange of farewells, they were both on their way.

Sometime later, the beggar shows up at the woman’s door. “What can I do for you,” asked the woman, as she answered the door?

I have come to return the diamond said the man: “It’s not what I want.”

“What then do you want’” asked the perplexed woman.

In the Jewish calendar, the month of Elul takes up its own, unique place. It is the end and completion of the Jewish calendar year and at the same time also the introduction and gateway to the approaching New Year beginning with Rosh Hashanah. In its capacity as the former, Elul serves as a time of “Tikkun” and “Teshuvah”, a time of correcting and completing the faulty and deficient. As the latter it serves as a time of preparing and readying man to enter the New Year in proper manner and fashion.
