For the last few weeks, hundreds of fellow Tzeirey Hashluchim and Chayolim in T“H have united in honor of HaYeled Hashliach Levi Yitzchak Wolowik A”H.

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.

MTA Bailout Package Would Curb Spendthrift Agency
ALBANY, NY — Lawmakers in Albany may have finally put some brakes on the runaway MTA.
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.

CrownHeights.info and the Avner Institute is happy to present, a unique audience that took place between the Rebbe and a Jew from France. Yosef, a Sorbonne professor, was a ba’al teshuva [returnee to Judaism] exploring his heritage and bursting with questions about Chabad and the Rebbe himself. The Rebbe’s answers convey his heartfelt concerns not only toward his new guest but for all of his fellow Jews.

And that will drive the state's Medicaid spending — at nearly $50 billion a year, already the most lavish in the land — to even more astronomical levels.
