Anyone who has doubts that this country is abusing and terrorizing undocumented immigrant workers should read an essay by Erik Camayd-Freixas, a professor and Spanish-language court interpreter who witnessed the aftermath of a huge immigration workplace raid at a meatpacking plant in Iowa.

The essay chillingly describes what Dr. Camayd-Freixas saw and heard as he translated for some of the nearly 400 undocumented workers who were seized by federal agents at the Agriprocessors kosher plant in Postville in May.

For Chaim Pyekrash, focusing on Torah for a few hours a day was just what he needed after a long career in journalism. Born in Tiberias, Israel, and raised in Pardes Chana, the 76-year-old came to Tel Aviv's Kolel Tiferet Zekanim Levi Yitzchak, a morning yeshiva for retired men, after 50 years spent as a reporter for the daily Hazofe newspaper.

Rabbi Sholom Mendel Simpson, who served as the Rebbes mazkir [secretary], gave out a special Teshura at the wedding of his grandson R. Shmuli Simpson from Crown Heights who married Goldie Chazdan from South Africa. In the Tesura the Rebbe gave answers to individuals and Mosdos.

In one letter the Rebbe explained to an Askan what the reason his Mosod was in big debt, and in a second reply the Rebbe explained a business man why he was having hardships in his business.

Rabbinical student Chaim Gurary, 21, helps Charlie Smith, an inmate at Northern State Prison in Newark, put on tefillin. Gurary’s visit to the prison is part of a national outreach effort to Jewish prison inmates across the country by the Aleph Institute, a branch of Chabad Lubavitch.

NEWARK, NJ — For the first time since his bar mitzva, Charlie Smith, an inmate at Northern State Prison in Newark, put on tefillin on July 1.

“It was very special,” he told NJJN in an interview afterward. “I felt something I haven’t felt in years — a deeper connection to my faith and my heritage I haven’t felt in a long time.”

For the children at Camp Gan Israel in South Padre Island, Texas, summer fun means jet skis and deep-sea fishing.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX — Those long sultry days are back, and with school out for the season, millions of American children are fully enmeshed in summer fun. But aside from the outings to the arcade or neighborhood pool, more and more, children and parents are rediscovering camp – that quintessential youth activity of yesteryear – to be just the place to spend the summer.

Stock Photo - Shliach Rabbi Yosef Landa looks inside an ark where a stolen Torah was kept.

KANSAS CITY, MO [AP] — A Torah scroll valued at about $30,000 reported stolen from a St. Louis-area synagogue is 1 of a handful of Torah scrolls stolen in the past year in the United States.

No one seems certain of a motive, but speculation includes a hate crime or selling the sacred documents on the black market, according to The Kansas City Star.
