WASHINGTON [CNN] — The suspect in Wednesday's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

Von Brunn served six years in prison on federal attempted kidnapping, assault and firearms charges after what he called a citizen's “legal, nonviolent citizens arrest” of members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

In light of the global financial crisis, the internationally celebrated fundraising expert, Rabbi Yisroel Brod, will be coming to the aid of Shluchim in a host of new ways. Shluchim will now be able to benefit from Rabbi Brod’s fundraising system and solutions by paying a reduced fixed fee that will only be paid when the results materialize. Rabbi Brod will also be joining Shluchim in actually soliciting Baalei Batim.

Rabbi Brod has successfully assisted Chabad Houses and Centers across the globe in raising necessary funds to create financial stable institutions, and to prosper. Indeed, he has 30 years of experience directing his own Chabad House and in working with a range of Chabad organizations, with budgets ranging from under 100K to over 20M. He has seen repeated success in planning and implementing customized annual and capital campaigns in many states across the US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Australia. He is also famous for his seminars, in which over 500 Shluchim worldwide have participated.

I sit by my computer in tears, thinking to myself is this really true? Is this really happening to me? To us? Take “me” out of the picture. Let’s talk about the ‘us’.

First I thought I was alone, it was my pain my suffering, maybe I did not raise my children right, maybe I did not get involved enough in the yeshivas, their education. Maybe I was too stressed trying to pay the bills earn a living that I neglected my children. Maybe it is entirely my fault.

Then I spoke to this parent quietly and then I spoke to that one, and I realized it is not just me there are many who suffer as I do. But we all suffer quietly blaming our selves. There are many children being destroyed and ruined. And by whom? By the ones we entrust their education to. By the ones we pay with our hard earned money, by the ones that are called “educators and roish hayeshivas” and so on.
