BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — For the first time since the inception of gift giving to children’s schools during holiday time, Jewish children received gifts in honor of Chanuka this year. Because of a devoted volunteer at iVolunteer who is also an employee at Louis Vuitton, Darchei Menachem of Crown Heights benefited from a most unusual gift giving program. The children wrote a wish list of what they wanted and they wishes were happily fulfilled last week when a shipment of beautifully wrapped presents arrived at the school door.

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Jason Wright dances on the top step of the Arneson River Theatre, carrying his 6-year-old son on his shoulders. Below him a sea of heads bob to the beat of music being pumped out from the stage.

The scene, in many ways, is not unusual for the River Walk. Only this time, many of the heads sport yarmulkes and the vocals accompanying the high-energy music is being belted out in Yiddish.

With extreme sadness that we report the passing of Dov Ber Holtzberg OBM, son of kedoshim, the Rebbe's Shluchim to Bombay Rabbi Gavriel Noach and Rivky Holtzberg HYD, at the young age of 4 years old. Dov Ber's passing comes just one day before his family concludes the shloshim period of mourning for his martyred parents, making this a double tragedy for the family and indeed all Anash.

He was buried Tuesday morning next to his parents and older brother, who also died of the same disease two years ago. Dov had been living in a long-term care facility in Jerusalem.
