A Heimans bus involved in an accident earlier this year on the US 87 (NYS Thruway).

WASHINGTON, DC [AP] — U.S. highway deaths in 2008 fell to their lowest level in nearly 50 years, the latest government figures show, as the recession and $4 per gallon gas meant people drove less to save more. Safety experts said record-high seat-belt use, tighter enforcement of drunken driving laws and the work of advocacy groups that encourage safer driving habits contributed to the reduction in deaths.

The Way Things Were: Reflections On The Rebbe’s Birth Date

By Baila Olidort for Lubavitch.com

Where were you the last time the Jewish people assembled to bless the sun?

Maybe you didn’t even know about it then. The year was 1981. PC’s were still a thing of the future, cell phones unheard of, and the internet age had yet to dawn. Instant mass communication seemed still a fantastic idea, and educating people across geographic, linguistic and cultural distances was slow and painstaking.
