C Shivkumar - Express Buzz

MUMBAI, India — More than a fortnight after the Mumbai attacks, eyewitness accounts of what transpired at Nariman House strongly suggest that two terrorists are unaccounted for.

A key witness who declined to be identified told this newspaper that at 9.30 pm the night the Nariman House standoff began, four men with subcontinental features accompanied two Israelis to the Chabad House in the Colaba area. Their entry coincided with the watchman on duty being out for dinner. (The watchman has since been missing).

NEW YORK, NY — Mayor Bloomberg said for the first time Friday that “maybe we will” send out that $400 property tax rebate he has been holding hostage for more than a month.

Although not specific, the mayor seemed to link mailing the rebate - worth $256 million to more than 600,000 homeowners - to striking a deal with the City Council on a disputed budget modification plan.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) tells Yakov Avinu (Jacob our Forefather) that his name would no longer be called “Yakov” (Jacob), it would now be called “Yisroel” (Israel).

2. As the preface to a question, the Rebbe now quotes the Talmud which discusses this verse:

The Talmud tells us that whoever calls our Forefather Avraham “Avram” (which was his original name), transgresses on the verse, “And your name shall no longer be called ‘Avram’; it shall henceforth be called ‘Avraham’ ”.
