Council Takes Up Bill Requiring Agents to Photograph Parking Offenses

NEW YORK, NY — Council Members James Vacca (D-Bronx) and Simcha Felder (D-Brooklyn) will hold hearings today in City Council Chambers at 11:00 AM to advocate for a bill that would require traffic enforcement agents to photograph parking violations and attach a copy of the photograph to the each ticket. The bill, Intro 886-A, is intended to end the he-said-she-said battles that clog our traffic courts and waste motorists’ time. It is one of four bills under consideration at a hearing of the Transportation Committee, chaired by Council Member John Liu, at Council Chambers.

ISRAEL — “I’ve waited for a baby for so long, I’m so happy,” a woman who became the proud mother of a firstborn son at the age of 60, told Yedioth Ahronoth Wednesday.

The woman and her husband, an ultra-Orthodox couple living in the central Israel community of Kfar Khabad, were married over 40 years ago, and have been trying to have a child for nearly four decades.

Op-Ed – The Rebbe’s Will

People I speak to, feel lost and perplexed.

How can we be left high and dry, years after Gimml Tammuz?

Many of us can remember when, we had a question in our life, we turned to the Rebbe for anything and we got clear guidance that we knew to follow to the letter.

After the stroke, a nod of the head was a yes or a no.

But since the Rebbes passing, many of our communities, are lacking, clear unequivocal guidance and leadership, in our day-to-day life.

Contrary to popular knowledge, The Rebbe DID leave a will, a very public verbal will. I’m not referring to the financial or administrative succession, I’m referring to the will that the Rebbe left us, his Chassidim.

Video – Excerpt from new film from JEM: Sensitivity
