Special Forces IDF Training for Rabbinical Students

MORRISTOWN, NJ [CHI] — It’s late at night, the woods are dark and threatening. Many consider it not the time for a casual stroll. Never the less, all alone, clad in ordinary attire, a Rabbinical Student walks along this path doing his best to be at total ease. Startling outbursts of noise from a planted and concealed air horn surprise him, yet he forges on from Point A to point B undeterred.

Could you imagine how much worse it would become to drive up Kingston Avenue? Or how many more tickets would be issued on a regular basis? Well, don’t worry the above picture didn’t happen yet. But it can! Just like Empire Boulevard was revamped almost overnight.

In the education/information category there are a number of strong sites, with Chabad emerging as a brand leader. Chabad’s main website consistently serves as an example of what a successful educational/informational Web presence can look like. Over the past year its traffic rose by 37 percent and is now significantly above the other sites studied. In contrast, the Web presence of other religious movements – Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Judaism – was much poorer, though OU.org does moderately well.
