CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Last night, Wednesday at around 7:00 PM, Shomrim received a call from two scared children, home alone, saying there was someone prank calling them and they think he was outside their house.

A few Shomrim members were dispatched to the house, made sure the children, both in their early teens, were okay and secured the house. The Shomrim members waited for the parents to come home, who told them that they knew who the caller was.

KFAR CHABAD, Israel — The Jewish community of Kfar Chabad, Israel, mourned the passing Wednesday of resident Rabbi Amos Karniel, who passed away at age 68 after a long illness.

According to those who knew the veteran educator ñ who despite a debilitating disease that forced him to retire early continued to gather children together to read them stories ñ Karniel once remarked that the only difference between a carpenter and a teacher is that a carpenter can see the effects of his labor almost immediately. A teacher, on the other hand, must wait 25 or 30 years.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Among the volunteers who visited the thousands of World War II survivors, that were held-up in displaced-persons (DP) camps throughout Germany and Poland, was Rabbi Eliezer Silver.

One day, while distributing prayer books, the good Rabbi encountered a man who emphatically refused to accept a Siddur. “Having witnessed the disdainful behavior of devout Jews in the concentration camp,” declared the man, “I want no part of anything religious!”

Disturbed by the man's solemn indictment of fellow Jews – ravished martyrs of the most dreadful atrocities perpetrated against humanity – Rabbi Eliezer asked if he would please explain what had so badly soured him.

FJC Winter Relief Campaign

At least one million people living throughout the FSU region face famine and starvation. Another 70 million people, or 1/4 th of the population, live below the poverty line.

The frigid winter months are especially difficult for these people. Keeping warm is not easy and good winter boots and clothes are expensive. Many people do not even have heat in their own homes.

Levy Family Makes the Desert Bloom


ORACLE, AZ [CHI] — Oracle’s first-ever Tanya published in tribute to philanthropic family’s support of Shluchim youth camp in Grand Canyon State

A desert is just about the last place you’d find a wellspring. But conversely, when you do, such an oasis is all the more valuable because of its dry, hostile surroundings.
