Susan Dominus - The New York Times

BROOKLYN, NY — Moments before Yosef Abrahamson, 16, accepted an award for the essay he’d written in a competition sponsored by the Police Athletic League, an officer approached him to complain about his fedora. The hat, an essential wardrobe item for Hasidic men, was gaudy, the policeman told him, and what’s with all these kids today and their nose rings and their attitudes. A second police officer, overhearing the conversation, came over to steer away the first one, who reappeared a few minutes later to apologize. He’d never seen a Hasidic Jew, he told Yosef.

Artist’s rendering of how the Fire/Chabad House will look after construction

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — As Rabbi Dovid Vigler's arm sweeps across the cavernous empty firehouse, it's almost possible to see, as he does, how grand it will be.

There will be a sanctuary with a soaring high ceiling - he looks up - and a balcony overlooking a social hall for weddings and parties.
