Jewish Bath Rises on 15th St

Sarah Portlock – The Brooklyn Paper

But some neighbors of the building, on 15th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, said they were unhappy with its planned institutional use and by the facade pictured in an architecht’s rendering shown this week.

Shlomo Werde (Crown Heights) to Gila Bensusan (London, UK)
The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Sotah (a woman suspected of adultery) is discussed. A Sotah is a woman who was alone with another man other than her husband after her husband zealously warned her saying, “Do not be alone with so-and-so”.

2. Our Sages tell us that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”. They bring a proof to this adage from a verse in this week’s Torah portion regarding the Sotah which reads, “Any man whose wife shall go astray (Sisteh)”. Our Sages explain that the word “Sisteh”, literally meaning “shall go astray”, can also be read “Sishteh”, meaning “acted foolishly”, therefore they learn that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”.
