Every year, the Israel division of the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) holds its national championship. Recently, the annual event was held in Netanya. Rabbi Fishel Jacobs, from Kfar Chabad, was guest of honor.
Keren Simchas Chosson V’Kallah is an organization that every single Chosson and/or Kallah in Crown Heights has heard of in the course of their engagement and wedding. The woman who stands behind it, Mrs. Devorah Benjamin is the driving force and the one that without her it could not survive.
For that CrownHeights.info would like to recognize and nominate Mrs. Benjamin as “Our Hero in our Community.” This nomination is for the UJC’s “Jewish Community Heros” where people can vote for their hero and the winner will be awarded $25,000, and in Devorah’s case, is money which we know will be used to help our Chassanim and Kallahs.
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — A jealous husband who thought his wife was cheating shot her twice in front of horrified onlookers on a busy Crown Heights street Tuesday, police and witnesses said.
Kaidan Ramsey, 22, desperately tried to escape her enraged husband, Lenox Ramsey, 25, after he followed her onto the campus at Medgar Evers College. He then chased her down Carroll St., grabbing her arm and screaming, “I got a gun, don’t f— with me!” witnesses said.
Stories of Jewish immigrants throwing their tefillin overboard upon encountering the freedom and promise of life in the United States may be the stuff of legend, but for Mendel Aisenbach, a Chabad-Lubavitch Chasid from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, N.Y., such tales emphasize an important point: When they approached the Statue of Liberty, many of the tired and poor masses from across Europe – a good portion of them Jewish – pushed their identities to recesses deep inside in the quest to become Americans.
The following is a letter that was sent out through facebook a few weeks ago by a parent that is having difficulties enrolling her child into a Lubavitcher Cheder in Crown Heights. In this letter the parent pleads for help in having her child enrolled in a school.
Shalom Friends,
I guess at the end, almost everything boils down to being someone’s financial dilemma. However, this letter is not addressing one of those dilemmas.
To spill it out, my wife and I are sending this message to whomever we believe might be able to assist me in any way. Boruch Hashem, Shalom, our oldest son, has outgrown the moisad/school in Flatbush which he attended, and he came to the point where he is ready to go a proper Cheder. Unfortunately, Lubavitcher Yeshiva on Crown Street as well as Oholei Torah is completely full, or so they tell us.

Stinky city bus riders soon could get soaked. The Honolulu City Council is considering a bill that would impose up to a $500 fine and/or up to six months in jail for public transit passengers convicted of being too smelly.
MONTREAL, Canada [CHI] — When a child reaches the age of attending Cheder it is a very special event for both parents and the teachers. For teacher Rabbi Yossi Wilansky this was his 28th year, but the energy and love made it seem like it’s his first.
