BOCA RATON, FL — A caller to the Boca Raton News said the “for sale” sign has gone back up at the former La Vieille Maison restaurant on East Palmetto Park Road.

The restaurant that operated for some 30 years in a historic home with roots going back to the Mizner era closed in 2006 after the owner decided to retire.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — On Motzei Shabbos, MyShliach held an evening of appreciation for their dedicated volunteers, at the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights. Those attending the evening were participants of MyShliach’s Caring Mentor Program, a program that connects shluchim’s children with volunteer mentors. Since its inception, the program’s objective has been to facilitate open communication between the children and their mentors. Each week, MyShliach’s mentors call up their assigned child to Farbreng, learn a Sicha, or simply encourage the child through difficult times.

BROOKLYN, NY — The wedding of Reuven Kasten and Tziporah Hoffman looked, at first glance, like a typical wedding of two Chabad-Lubavitch Chasidim. Standing beneath a wedding canopy in the pouring ran outside of Lubavitch World Headquarters in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, N.Y., the bearded groom wore a hat, while the bride was bedecked in a flowing white gown and intricate veil.

WESTBORO, MA — Chabad of Westboro is part of an international Jewish outreach organization.

“We try to make Judaism accessible to everyone. We have a whole different idea about Judaism than your average temple. Sometimes temples are trying to gather funds, and money has to be given. We just want Jews to feel welcome and comfortable wherever they’re at, in a nonjudgmental atmosphere,” said Dvora Green, who, with her husband, Rabbi Michoel Green, started the Westboro Chabad six years ago. The group invites people to come and share a Jewish experience and get involved, she said.
