CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A fire broke out this afternoon in a small apartment building on Nostrand Avenue and Lincoln Road; prompting a large response of firefighters and rescue personal.
BROOKLYN, NY [CBS] — It’s amazing, it’s peculiar, and it’s dangerous. So says a Brooklyn man who’s experiencing some weird occurrences with his cell phone and his stove.
These days it seems like cell phones or smart phones can do just about anything. Just ask Andrei Melnikov, whose smart phone apparently has an unintended “app” unlike any other.
Two New York City Jewish teenagers accused of drag racing have been charged in the death of a 12-year-old boy who was injured when the cars collided.
Queens prosecutors say the 16- and 18-year-olds are charged with second-degree manslaughter, among other charges, in the death of Avi Babayev.
Allegations of anti-Semitism surfaced recently about a 2004 FBI sting that entrapped two Jewish members of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) in espionage-related charges.
The allegations raised fresh concerns about the FBI’s true motives in the case which, to the government’s embarrassment, collapsed after four years of pre-trial maneuvers due to lack of evidence.
Because the FBI operation invoked an archaic law to indict the men, attempting to criminalize activities that are acceptable and routine for lobbyists, the Bureau’s actions invite suspicion that its real aim in the bizarre sting was to curb the influential pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC.
By falsely discrediting some of its most prominent members, many now think the FBI was really seeking to weaken and discredit the entire organization.

During the conference he discussed the issue of family as the cornerstone of society. The Congress is an international interreligious and interracial conference on family issues.
The Rebbe intended for all of us to be leaders, not followers,” Mr. George Rohr charged a packed hall at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut. “We may not understand the power we have to impact the world, but it is up to all of us to make this world heavenly. We can’t leave it to the teachers and rabbis.”
The call to action summed up the general sentiment at the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute’s fourth annual retreat, which ended Sunday. Though attendees undoubtedly came to soak up as much wisdom as possible, their purpose was greater than hitting the books.
KEW GARDENS, NY [CHI] — It was a short 16 months ago that the news broke of the dwindling Anshe Sholom Congregation of Kew Gardens, NY partnering with Chabad of the Gardens to try to work on building up the center once again. Today, we are proud to announce the official vote of the Board of trustees and the membership to ultimately change their center to a Chabad house – for good, by accepting the official name Anshe Sholom Chabad Jewish Community Center.

ISREAL — It was disclosed Monday that the body found in a relatively advanced state of decay on Friday in an abandoned structure near Beit Dagan in central Israel was that of Rafael (Refoel) Miriashvilli, a 25-year-old Chabad Lubavitch yeshiva student from the city of Lod who had been missing for five weeks. Police say evidence at the scene points to Miriashvilli having been murdered although the circumstances are not clear.
There have been rumors in Chabad circles that he was murdered by Arabs in revenge for his anti-intermarriage efforts. Approximately four years ago, working for the Yad L’Achim anti-assimilation and anti-intermarriage organization, Miriashvilli and two colleagues were charged with kidnapping and impersonating security personnel in the course of saving a Jewish woman from marriage to an Arab.
