Dear Crown Heights Residents:
My name is Reina Ezagui.
I used to live in Crown Heights with my wonderful husband Eliyahu and our four children–but now live in Israel because there was nowhere else to go.
Make no mistake: I stand by my husband 100%–which is exactly why you need to hear what I have to say. Forget the rumors. I want to tell you what Eliyahu’s ongoing legal battles are doing to our family.

PRAGUE — They say the Golem, a Jewish giant with glowing eyes and supernatural powers, is lurking once again in the attic of the Old-New Synagogue here.
The Golem, according to Czech legend, was fashioned from clay and brought to life by a rabbi to protect Prague’s 16th-century ghetto from persecution, and is said to be called forth in times of crisis. True to form, he is once again experiencing a revival and, in this commercial age, has spawned a one-monster industry.
