It was two years ago, the 30th of Shvat, February 28th 2006, when R. Efraim Klein HY”D was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Crown Heights. He had gone out in order to move his minivan to avoid having to move it later for alternate side parking regulations the next day. He was 47 years old.

He was shot through the window of his car, and was later pronounced dead in Kings County Hospital. His son was set to have his wedding the following week. The investigation by the NYPD has ‘gone cold’ according to a source in Crown Heights’s 71st Pct.

Police marked the anniversary of his death by distributing posters and flyers around the neighborhood and the area of the crime, in hopes to get new leads on the case which has long gone cold.

Op-Ed: Yeshiva Tuition Crises

Bochurim learning in Zal. Illustration Photo.

Levi is 16 years old. He just took a 18 hour painful trip home from the Holy Land, where he studied very successfully in a good yeshiva, for over a year now.

We are Shluchim of the Rebbe and live in woop woop land, and there is no chinuch for our kids here. Levi loved every day of Yeshiva, and we were very proud to receive awesome reports from the Hanhala, throughout the year.

These years as we know are the forming years of a child’s growth in yiddishkeit, they make it in the right environment, or break it, c”v.

The following is an excerpt from the new book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation”. it's an unbelievable correspondence that a young girl from Kfar Chabad had with the Rebbe in the late 1970's. To see more information on the Book see www.inspiringageneration.com.

“I don't know if I will ever be able to share my experiences with the Rebbe,” says Mrs. Chaya Kahan, from Kfar Chabad Israel, “because I will never have enough words to describe how much he looked after me and guided me, every step of my life.” She enjoyed a unique relationship with the Rebbe. At age six her daughter Rivka had written to him a sweet and simple letter, and received a sweet and charming response.

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ — In an unusual move, the attorney for a rabbi accused of running a house of worship out of his home wants the Zoning Board of Adjustment to subpoena township officials, including former Mayor Dorothy Avallone, to testify.

And in an effort to clear up confusion, zoning board members Thursday asked that the rabbi himself testify on whether he is holding religious services in his home.

EDGWARE, UK — Bloom's famous kosher eatery is to London’s Jews what the 2nd Avenue Deli was to New York Jews. At its different locations, the popular eatery served up some of its favorites like “plump, firm, matzo balls” and salt beef to famous diners, including Charlie Chaplin (a close friend of the owner) and Frank Sinatra (who reportedly ordered takeout to his suite at the Savoy, and never returned the silver dishes).

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Legend has it that the late Albert Einstein, having just completed a paper and in need of a clasp, spent a considerable amount of time trying to straighten-out a clip that was twisted and unusable. While struggling with the dysfunctional object, his assistant discovered a new box of perfect clips. Einstein took one of the new paper clips reshaped it and used it as an instrument to repair the old bent one.

In response to his assistant’s bewilderment, the renowned physicist declared: “I had just established a new objective; once set upon a goal I’m not easily deflected.”
