NEW YORK, NY — It is nearly 70 years since the start of the systematic, state-sponsored murder of over six million European Jews. Today, with anti-Semitism on a global rise and Holocaust deniers stridently espousing their hate, survivors are facing their own enemy: loneliness and depression.
“Several years ago we realized that survivors, particularly those living in Manhattan, were isolated and often without friends or family,” explains Sheva Tauby, co-director of Ivolunteer. Tauby and her husband Tzvi, serve as Chabad representatives to Manhattan and are the founders of this visitation program for homebound Holocaust survivors. The couple organizes volunteers--50 are currently involved--to visit survivors each week for companionship and aid.

Even by Western standards, Moscow’s Jewish infrastructure is impressive. In the Marina Roscha part of the city, a complex of buildings houses the community's comprehensive social and educational institutions catering to Moscow’s Jewish population.
The erosion of Jewish life during communism makes Jewish population numbers hard to evaluate, but by the country's Chief Rabbi's estimates, there are approximately half a million Jews in this city of 10 million.

BROOKLYN, NY — Major repairs to the crumbling Brooklyn Bridge, which are scheduled to begin this summer and close parts of the span for three years, will now cost up to $200 million more than originally anticipated.
Rehabbing the degrading bridge will cost up to $500 million, according to the Department of Transportation — a hike from the $300 million that the agency said it would need to fix approaches, ramps and anchorages, repaint the bridge and replace barriers and railings, the New York Post reported on Sunday.

Sunday afternoon on Albany Ave between Eastern Pkwy and Union St, a Jewish man was stopped by police as he was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk. The Israeli man didn't know it was illegal to ride his bicycle on the sidewalk, as he had recently moved here. However, after arguing with the officer and the officer calling for backup to restrain him, he was issued a summons for biking on the sidewalk.
Lately the police have been giving out all types of nonsense summonses. We would like warn all residents thirteen and older DO NOT ride your bicycles on the sidewalks, you can be summonsed and your bicycle can be seized and impounded.
