BONDI, Australia [AJN] — In a desperate bid to broker a deal, Bondi Mizrachi Synagogue’s embattled Rabbi Moshe Gutnick is seeking a court order to block an upcoming vote that will make his position redundant and force the matter before a Jewish court.

On Tuesday, lawyers for Rabbi Gutnick filed an application with the NSW Supreme Court seeking a declaration to have conditions over his employment mediated before a beth din.

Mazal Tov! – It’s A Boy!

We would like to wish a Mazel Tov to Arieh and Dvorah Leah (nee Zagury) Raichman (Crown Heights) on the birth of their firstborn son.

May the newborn be a source of Nachas to her parents, grandparents and Klal Yisroel.

Levi Wolowik OBM
They are unusually inspiring people. I’m sitting with Rabbi Zalman and Mrs. Chanie Wolowik just 22 days after their nine-year-old son, Levi Yitzchok, a’h, suddenly and inexplicably passed away. This coming Monday night, the Five Towns and Far Rockaway communities, and indeed Jewish communities far and wide around the world, will be marking the sheloshim, the end of the 30-day period since Levi’s passing.

“The house feels empty without Levi,” says Chanie. “He was my sidekick and went almost everywhere and did everything with Zalman,” she said. Their older son, Mendel, is away attending Yeshiva in Detroit and the next boy is seven years old, she explains, so just when they had started to have another big boy around the house they are now once again, she feels, dealing almost exclusively with little kids.

As Chabad sh’lichim in the Five Towns, the Wolowiks are natural born leaders. Still, however, they are first and foremost parents, who are raising a beautiful family and who raised a remarkable young man who left us for reasons that are far beyond our comprehension but certainly way too soon.
