Edward Rothstein - The New York Times
 
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — Now that nearly every museum is also a children’s museum — now that nearly every museum has programs that strive to lure the young — what do we seek from a museum that really is a children’s museum? And not just any children’s museum, but the venerable Brooklyn Children’s Museum, reopening this weekend after spending nearly $70 million on reconstruction, rethinking and redesign?

Kids, Can You Say ‘Cultural Diversity’?

BED STUY, Brooklyn [AP] — An officer appears to have violated police department guidelines when he used a Taser stun gun on a naked, distraught man teetering on a building ledge, officials said Thursday.

Inman Morales, 35, fell nearly 10 feet to his death after he was shocked in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, in the confines of the 77th Precinct. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. An autopsy was being performed, but police said he suffered serious head trauma.

The Jewish High Holidays begin next Monday (Sept. 29) at sundown. Rosh Hashanah is one of the most sacred — and ancient — seasons in Judaism.

But just because it’s old doesn’t mean there aren’t new ways to talk about it. Case in point is Chabad Southside in Jacksonville, which is turning to the online social networking site Facebook to generate interest in the holiday.

STAVROPOL, Russia [CHI] — In the center of the city of Stavropol, Russia, at the edge of Lenin Square, just opposite to Lenin's statue and the provincial government building, proudly stands the Museum of Stavropol. In its basement, hidden in a closet back behind a display of “significant” older books, lies an ancient Torah scroll, confiscated from the local Jewish synagogue close to 80 years ago and now wound up and tightly stored inside a cardboard tube. Ever since the communist regime relegated Judaism to an atavism, the Torah has been conceived as a museum piece, curious to look at, but nothing you could take home.
