High Tech Gemara Learning at Darchai Menachem
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Eleven boys sit poised in a brightly-painted third floor classroom at Yeshiva Darchai Menachem, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York. The atmosphere in the room has the feeling of a quiz show. Their teacher, Rabbi Shua Samuels, barely has a chance to get his questions out, before hands wave eagerly in the air, 11 preteen boys desperate to demonstrate their knowledge.

To honor his memory, a Sefer Torah is being written exclusively by Children in the Army of Hashem from all over the world through a global Learn-A-Thon. They are learning Tanya B”P and getting Friends and Family to sponsor them for every line they learn.

Tuesday marked the fifth anniversary of the passing Rabbi Yehuda Leib Raskin, Chabad emissary to Morocco for more than 44 years.
Born in Russia in 1933, Raskin escaped with his family to Kazakhstan during World War II. There he met Rabbi Schneerson’s father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, right after his release from prison and exile. The young Raskin often assisted the elder Schneerson with his religious and physical needs.

Millions of transit riders can breathe a little easier now that the Legislature and Gov. Paterson have – seemingly – come up with more money to avoid massive service cuts, reduce a looming fare hike and fund a portion of its capital budget.

WASHINGTON — When Monica Lundeen Smith and Michael Smith got a letter from their condo owners association asking them to take down “the item” on their doorframe, they assumed it was a simple misunderstanding.
