Slain Officer Russell Timoshenko
A bungling techie in the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office accidentally erased an audiotape recording of a statement by one of the men charged in the death of NYPD Officer Russel Timoshenko, The Post has learned.

There were no other copies of the cassette, made July 12 by detectives as they grilled Robert Ellis at the state police barracks in Swiftwater, Pa., said sources familiar with the case.

It's the second major snafu associated with the high-profile case and the latest in a laundry list of legal lapses for DA Charles Hynes in the past year.

TZFAS, Israel [CHI] — The month started off with a Siyum on Gemora on Rosh Codesh by Hatomim Chaim Shimon Dubov and Hatomim HaShliach Shlomo Yager. It was very inspiring to hear Rabbi ‘O’rimland, Rosh HaYeshiva, speak about a bochur who came to the yeshiva saying I can’t, I can’t, I can’t!!! Today, besides the siyum he is also finishing Basar V’Cholov.

KFAR CHABAD, Israel — It's nighttime as Chaya Shitrit, 20, passes by a child's bed, forgetting to pull tight one of the blankets, as she regularly does.

Photo Gallery! Its Snowing!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Snow started falling at about 11:00pm last night, cloaking Crown Heights in nice thick layer of white snow by the time residents woke up this morning. A total of about 5 inches of snow accumulated so far, and we can get as much as 9 inches.

Its about thirty degrees but feels more like twenty outside. For up to the minute forecast updates, check out the weather feature, towards the bottom of the left side bar.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
An utterly distraught religious woman came running to a Chassidic Rebbe one day, weeping uncontrollably.

“Rebbe,” she cried, “It’s my son. He went Meshuga. I think he needs a psychiatrist!” He’s really acting strange.”

“What’s the matter?” Asked the Rebbe.

“The matter?” cried the distressed woman. “He’s behaving like a lowlife! He dances with gentile women; he even began dining on swine! I’m telling you he’s crazy.”

The Rebbe looked at the poor woman as he tried to put her problems into perspective.

“My dear lady, if your son were dancing with pigs and dining on women, I would say that he is indeed insane. But the way you describe him he is not crazy at all. I’d say that he has become a very indulgent and lascivious young man. No my dear, that’s what we call ‘sinful,’ not ‘crazy.’ There’s nothing at all crazy about that.”
