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.
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.

As reported earlier in honor of Gimmel Tammuz, JEM is releasing a new DVD called: Sensitivity – a documentary presenting fascinating stories of people who felt the Rebbe’s care and attention to their smallest needs.

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.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Fleeing the scene of an accident is never a good idea, especially when you leave behind one of your license plates. A man in a Pontiac sedan was driving down Empire Boulevard and careened into a parked mini-van and a truck, mangling his own car.
