MOSCOW, Russia [INTERFAX] — The Stavropol Territory Court has upheld the verdict by a Stavropol district court, ordering the administrative expulsion of the Stavropol chief rabbi, Canadian citizen Tzvi Hershkowitz, from Russia.
The territory court has thus rejected the rabbi's appeal against the Stavropol district court ruling. The judgment was issued on March 24.
The local FSB (Federal Security Service) branch accused Hershkowitz of “breaching the residence registration regulations” by failing to notify the migration authorities of his new residence address within three days, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FJCR) told Interfax-Religion on Wednesday.

Here, at one of the half-dozen or so shmura matzo factories remaining in New York, a bustling team of bakers keeps alive the art of making matzo the old-fashioned way.

WASHINGTON [JTA] — Then-candidate Barack Obama and his campaign team spent months debunking smears that he was a closeted Islamic radical. Now his critics, including GOP lawmakers, have given life to an already debunked rumor that the president signed an executive order allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees “with ties to Hamas” to resettle in the United States.

A new Online Mikvah Calendar created especially for the internet-savvy Jewish woman-of-today is making it easier to observe the complex Jewish laws of family purity.
The website, which was rolled out this week [and is advertised here on CrownHeights.info], is the brainchild of Rebbetzin Rivkah Bloom, who grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was the only Jewish child in her grade, forced at age 14 to leave home for a Jewish school in Pennsylvania, and from there to seminary in Israel. What followed led to software that has the potential to change the lives of millions of women: her years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

Yesterday was the twenty seventh of Adar. There are many Bochurim in Lubavitch who weren't even born. At least I remember when it happened. The question of course is, what does this day mean to us? What does it do to us? And what do we do for it? The answers to these questions are not simple ones. In fact, I don't know if anyone even has the answers. But that doesn't mean we don't have to ask the questions. Because if you don't even have the question, how can you ever expect to work out the answer? Because that's what it's really all about.
Every person has to look inside their heart and say, "Hey, what's up? What have I accomplished? What does 17 years without mean to me? Have I gotten over it, or am I still in mourning? Have the chai, the living, Yiten El Libo, taken it to heart? Or was this generation's Parah Adumah completely wasted? Those are the types of questions we all have to ask ourselves.
