CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — In the last month alone we have reported 3 accidents which had taken place in the intersection of Crown Street and Kingston Avenue, but when ‘accident hotspot’ is mentioned most immediately think about Empire and Troy. Though it feels like it’s changing.
This morning at around 7:00am two cars collided in the same fashion as the last 3 accidents, where one car took a red and they slammed into each other in the middle of the intersection. A minivan driven by a Jewish driver collided with a sedan driven which was operated as an illegal ‘dolla cab’.

Unfortunately, some of the dysfunction that has overtaken Chabad in the last few years was just around the corner. On Shabbos day a shliach was welcomed to speak to the community. Before his speech, an elderly Chassid banged on the lectern, announced that the shliach in question was not a real shliach but a ‘mushroom.’ Since the policy of the Shule was to have Shluchim speak, he should not be allowed to address them.
Op-Ed: Chabad’s Moral Crisis
Not long ago I spent Shabbos in a Lubavitch community with my wife and children. The family we stayed with showed us effusive Lubavitch hospitality. What other community in the world would welcome a family with nine children and a niece to march into their home and take over? The warmth with which we were received reminded me of all that is beautiful about Chabad and how Lubavitchers are the warmest and kindest people in the world.
