Dear Parents and Educators, sheyichye
In the course of each week I meet people to discuss different issues.
Just last week, a young man sat at the other side of my desk and asked me for advice. He is involved in activities that are not good for his emotional, physical and spiritual health and he was looking for a way out.
In the course of our discussion, we went through each negative behavior and how it began; it all boiled down to that the boy got involved in this detrimental conduct because of a lack of self esteem.
HERNOVTSY, Ukraine [FJC] — Now that the Jewish community of Chernovtsy has succeeded in gaining title to the historical Synagogue on Sadovskiy Street, works aimed at its restoration are in full swing.

Crown Heights has lately seen a massive influx of police officers in the neighborhood who are seen ‘walking the beat’ and keeping us safe. One of the side effects of this is the increased ticketing of vehicles, something which we have come to accept as a price for our protection.

“All of us at Chabad are saddened by the passing of Bruce Adler last week,” said Rabbi Anchelle Perl.
