Mimulo – Not Your Average Florists

by Ashira Welton

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Chanie Frankel and Fradel Levin opened Mimulo on Mother’s Day two years ago. Fradel had been working in a dead-end, basement job, and Chanie was home with her son, when the space on Albany Avenue became available. After discussing and deciding against opening a restaurant (too expensive), Fradel suggested opening a flower shop. Three months later, with contracts signed, flowers stocked, and skills learned, Mimulo was the newest thing on the block.

Pesach Chaim Newman (Crown Heights) to Bluma Raizel Lewis (Old Tappan, NJ)
by Yanki Tauber - Chabad.org

“It's never too late. There's always a second chance.” This, according to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, 1880-1950), is the message of Pesach Sheini, the biblically ordained “second Passover” for those who fail to bring the Passover offering on its designated time.

We all relate to a statement like, “There's always a second chance.” It soothes our harried souls, and fits nicely on the December 31 page of an Inspirational Sayings Desk Calendar. But how does it mesh with real day-to-day life? I took a small neighborhood survey.

An unidentified company has made a move toward buying a struggling Postville meatpacking plant.

The plant, Agriprocessors, was the region’s dominant employer until last May, when it was the site of a huge immigration raid. It went into bankruptcy last fall. Its future has been in doubt since March, when an attempt to auction it off failed to attract an offer that would satisfy the company’s creditors.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Last night Police apprehended a serial burglar that had been terrorizing vehicle owners in Crown Heights. As many as six break-ins in one night had residents so frustrated they just did not know what to do, many of these car owners were victims more than once.

Police finally took a close look at the break-ins and assigned a slew of officer to catch this perpetrator, and after a few weeks with no success last night the bugler was busted in the act.

The long-running saga over the fate of the East Nassau Hebrew Congregation in Syosset seems now to be at a crossroads.

A controversial plan to sell the synagogue to a Korean church deserves judicial scrutiny, according to State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

In papers filed before State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Phelan in Mineola, Assistant Attorney General Dorothy Nese asked the judge to conduct a full evidentiary hearing if necessary before deciding whether to permit the sale.
