Arieh Perecowicz received six tickets for a total of $1,400 from the Bureau du taxi, a municipal agency whose inspectors ordered the cabbie to remove the items. ‘In 43 years, no one has said they were offended or opened the door to take another taxi,’ he says.
MONTREAL, Canada — Anyone entering Arieh Perecowicz's taxi in Montreal quickly knows what's close to the man's heart. At various places around the dashboard, he's posted photos of his family, religious artifacts, a couple of flags and a Remembrance Day poppy.
The items have never sparked a customer complaint or interfered with his work, the 65-year-old cabbie says. But it did provoke a series of tickets from Montreal's taxi agency, which have resulted in a court battle that could test the line between personal and public space.

It was July 7, 2005, the day that four Muslim extremists detonated backpacks filled with explosives on London's public transit system, indiscriminately killing 52 commuters.
“The carriage [the bombers were in] was just one in front of me. What if the guy had seen me when he was getting on?” the Rabbi asks. “Would he have chosen my carriage? Would he have stood next to me?”

LONDON, England- Picking his way through the smoke-filled London Underground and beyond the mangled subway car, Rabbi Aryeh Sufrin was unsure of what had just happened. Only later, when the news bulletins revealed that the explosion had been caused by a suicide bomber, did he begin to understand.

Hi, I'm Sara. As a Jewish Orthodox woman, I've been asked to write a diary during our Holy Days and Festivals.For those of you who don't know, our new year begins tonight. It is then followed by Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement, and finally by Sukkot - which lasts a week.
So why was I asked to write a diary? Well, it all started 19 years ago on a trip to New York when I met my husband.
How we met is a topic for a different day, but the fact that he was a Rabbi was not something I thought a lot about at the time.
However (a word of caution to those planning to marry a man of the cloth), once I married a Rabbi, I soon came to learn that I would have to share him with a community. In fact, in the Jewish world, the wife of the Rabbi even gets a title - Rebbetzin.
