OMSK, Russia — In relation to the current economic crisis and gradually deteriorating standards of living for a good segment of the population, the Jewish community of Omsk has decided to carry out a campaign aimed at contributing a shipment of new children's clothing and shoes to needy children. Namely, this donation was directed towards the ‘Penatiy’ Social Service Center for the city’s central administrative district. This organization deals with the poorest people among local residents on a daily basis and its representatives are in a perfect situation to be able to identify those children who are in greatest need of such assistance.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA [AP] — The former manager of a kosher slaughterhouse wants a federal judge to dismiss nearly 100 counts against him, and if not, to allow him to be tried separately on some of the charges.

In motions filed Jan. 30 in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids, Sholom Rubashkin asked the court to dismiss the 97 charges against him, arguing that the grand jury that returned an indictment was biased.
