CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — As residents were returning home from Shul on Motzoai Shabbos one Black teen on a bicycle assaulted a Man and later a woman along Empire Boulevard, and witnesses claim that one police officer watched part of it and did nothing.
The incident began on Brooklyn and Empire where the man was kicked by the cycling teen, who than made another pass and pulled out a large ‘box cutter’ type knife and cursed at the man he has assaulted. A police officer who was posted on that corner witnessed the incident and immediately called for backup and began giving chase after the perp who fled towards Kingston.

With sadness we inform you of the passing of Hirsh Katz, son of Reb Yankel Katz.
Tzvi Hirsh HaKohen Katz is known to many as the child who for many years asked the Ma Nishtana at the Rebbe’s Pesach Seder table. His father, Reb Yankel Katz from Chicago, was a stalwart supporter of both the Frierdiker Rebbe and the Rebbe.
Reb Yankel was one of the key supporters who funded of the Frierdiker Rebbe’s escape from the Nazis, and subsequently the Frierdiker Rebbe’s and then the Rebbe’s work in America. The Rebbe would speak with Reb Yankel Katz by telephone monthly, and called him “a true friend.”

Two men living in the same town came into significant wealth. Both decided to bury their fortune in their backyard. Each picked a landmark on their respective properties, paced 20 steps and dug a hole.
Chaim, the more anxious of the two, kept looking over his shoulder to make sure there was nobody watching as he placed his treasures in the ground. By contrast, the more trusting Berel didn’t bother with such precautions. Unbeknownst to him, he was spotted by a dishonest neighbor who eventually stole his entire nest egg.
A week later Chaim the worrier, whose fortune was fully intact, decided to check up on his hidey-hole. By accident he counted the wrong amount of paces from the landmark and dug into the ground. Imagine his horror when he realized that there was nothing there.
