Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended Monday

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, for holiday observance. Because Memorial Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended. On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect seven days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”).

Israeli consul Belaynesh Zevadia and
daughter Lee enjoy an art project with
another boy during a Friendship Circle
event at Chabad-Lubavitch of Uptown
in Houston.

When Sarcalem Adigeh was struck by a crazed neighbor's bullet, the Houston Jewish community collectively held its breath. Adigeh was a loved member whose wife, Belaynesh Zevadia, served as the deputy Israeli consul to the southwestern United States.

This month, the same community came together to give thanks for Adigeh's survival during a Shabbat kiddush held at Chabad-Lubavitch of Uptown

For Adigeh, the seudat hodaya - which translates as a “thanksgiving meal” - represented the completion of a roller-coaster year. In April 2007, his neighbor went on a shooting spree, shooting Adigeh through the door of the apartment he shared with his wife and daughter Lee.
