THIS IS AN URGENT APPEAL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY.

No one wants to be away from their families on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, and all of us would prefer to be in 770 or at the Ohel, or even earn some extra income by another Shliach, and The Aleph Institute understands that. Yet, the future of Aleph's programs is dependent upon us sending out a full force of bochurim to visit Jews in prison this Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and we are appealing to you to volunteer.

Unless we meet the Bureau of Prisons challenge to impact the prison system with a widespread visitation program for the High Holidays, thousands of Jewish inmates will have their right to practice Judaism severely impaired. The Rebbe's directive to visit and care for every Jew in every prison is every bochur's responsibility to fulfill, and you are needed now more than ever.

minivan to leave Sullivan County.
WOODBOURNE, NY — Bakery workers scraped mounds of poppy seeds into trash bins.

Fathers strapped luggage and toys to the roofs of minivans. Mothers were too busy hosing off chairs and folding the last of the laundry to talk about the exodus.

This scene has repeated for decades now. The day before Labor Day, Sullivan County's Hasidic Jewish communities pack up and vanish. Shops close, bungalows empty, summer ends. Many return to the bustle of Brooklyn.

“It's unbelievable,” bakery owner Levi Gombo said. “In three hours, everybody's gone.”

Tables lined the sidewalks Wednesday, featuring different clubs and organizations all encouraging the students to get involved.

It all might be a little intimidating for incoming freshman but that's not the intention.

Rabbi Zev Johnson with the Chabad Jewish student organization said the plethora of organizations offer students the opportunity for self-expression.
