Jews have been the target of injustice for centuries. From judges on the bench to the chancellors who might appoint them, our people have enough historical experience to know when it is time to defend ourselves.
Magistrates preside over cases dealing with minor offenses, and over preliminary hearings that deal with more consequential ones. But a statement made by Magistrate Jon Stuart Scoles on Nov. 20, concerning the bail of an orthodox Jew, was a major offense to every American Jew. It must evoke a harsh response from the Jewish community. In his ruling, the Judge cited Israel’s Law of Return as grounds for not permitting a Jewish defendant to be released on bond, even though he had already surrendered his passport.
WILMINGTON, NC — For most three-year-olds, standing on a chair for 30 minutes while people line up to cut off pieces of your hair might seem scary and somewhat of an eternity.

BINGHAMTON, NY — While the typical bar and bat mitzvah party celebrates the coming of age of 13-year-old Jewish boys and 12-year-old Jewish girls, a grand celebration of an entirely different nature took place at Binghamton University in New York. The party had all the trappings of the standard teenage affair, but it was 15 fully-grown college students who celebrated their entry into Jewish adulthood, albeit a bit late.
DNEPROPETROVSK, Ukraine [FJC] — This week, teachers at the Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Day School joined those from dozens of other Jewish schools from other cities of the CIS and Baltic countries for a large-scale online conference. This project was initiated by the Ministry of Education of Israel, represented by Irina Dashevsky, the Ministry’s Adviser for the CIS and Baltic Countries.
The conference involved numerous Russian-speaking teachers of Jewish traditions and, to a large extent, was dedicated to their methodological development, relation to and dealings with the Ministry of Education of Israel, and the upcoming holiday of Chanukah, in addition to several other issues related to Jewish education in the post-Soviet countries.
