Got Bilk? Grocers Do!
Sally Goldenberg Betwa Sharma – NY Post
NEW YORK , NY — New Yorkers are being milked for their hard-earned grocery dollars.
A whopping 86 percent of supermarkets, delis and bodegas throughout the five boroughs are charging above the state-mandated price ceiling for milk, according to a City Council survey released yesterday.
The survey found that 43 out of 50stores checked last November were charging an average of 40 cents above the state limit, which is set each month by the Department of Agriculture and Markets.

Last year, 10 children from Sderot, Israel, attended a Chabad-Lubavitch day camp in suburban Boston in a program designed to let them unwind and momentarily forget about their war-ravaged hometown.
SDEROT, Israel — With their hometown in tatters, and the threat of more missile attacks looming over the horizon, some 160 children from Sderot, Israel, will be able to leave the nightmare of war behind them this summer as they attend camps in North America and Europe.

COOPER CITY, FL [CHI] — Torah in honor of son for his complete recovery. On Sunday morning, June 8, at 12 noon, just prior to the Festival of Shavuot, the anniversary of G-d giving the Ten Commandments 3320 years earlier, Chabad of Southwest Broward will fill in the final letters of a brand new Sefardic – Middle Eastern – Torah.
“What better way to celebrate the Jews receiving the Torah than us welcoming into our community such a meaningful new Torah,” said Rabbi Pinny, Spiritual Leader and Director of Chabad.
The Rebbe says:
1. The Talmud tells us that when Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) ascended to the Heavenly heights to receive the Torah the ministering angels asked Hashem (G-d) why He was giving the precious and coveted Torah “which has been stored by Hashem for two thousand years before the creation of the world” to people of flesh and blood and not “bestowing His glory upon the Heavens”. Hashem then told Moshe Rabbeinu to answer the angels.
Moshe said, “Master of the Universe, the Torah that You are giving me, what is written in it? ‘I am Hashem your G-d Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt’”. Moshe then said to the angels, “Did you descend to Egypt? Were you enslaved to Pharaoh? Why should the Torah be your?
What else is written in the Torah? ‘There shall not be unto you gods of others’. Do you live among the nations who worship idols?
What else is written in it? ‘Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it’. Do you engage in any labor from which you would need to rest?

LITHIA, FL — Running her fingers through her middle child's long, curly locks for the last time, Tzippy Rubashkin said she had mixed feelings about her 3-year-old's first haircut.Called the upsherinish ceremony, the first haircut represents a milestone in the Orthodox Jewish faith. Rubashkin said she will miss the long brown locks she used to capture in a bun and attempt to hold in place beneath a cap, though a few errant curls usually managed to escape.

VANCOUVER, WA — This is how important the Torah has been to the family of Rabbi Shmulik Greenberg: It’s measured by the opportunity the Greenbergs had 42 years ago when they were allowed to leave the Soviet Union and settle in the promised land.

Aside from the fact that the holiday of Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people more than 3,320 years ago, the summer festival has an added significance for Rabbi Levi Welton.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
A professor once lamented to the Lubavitcher Rebbe about the depravity of human nature. “While most people,” argued the academic, “seem very nice and charming (politically correct) on the outside, beneath the surface we all tend to share the same ugly essence. We are all selfish, arrogant, and egotistical. Why should the intrinsic character of man be so abhorrent?” The Rebbe responded with a parable: “When one takes a stroll down the street, one sees lovely houses, green lawns, flowery trees, paved roads and shiny cars. But when one takes a hoe and digs beneath the surface he exposes nothing but dirt and more dirt. The surface beauty is all gone.”
Not realizing where the Rebbe was heading with this, the professor found himself nodding in agreement. The Rebbe was actually affirming his point.
“But,” the Rebbe continued. “If one were not to give-up so quickly and continue digging even deeper, you know what he is likely to find? Water, minerals, perhaps even diamonds.” To encounter the inherent goodness in man one must be willing to dig a little deeper.
