Colin Moynihan - The New York Times

NEW YORK, NY — The New York City comptroller, William C. Thompson Jr., said on Sunday that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s gaping budget deficits could be diminished by increasing automobile registration fees in 12 counties served by the authority’s trains and buses.

At a press conference outside Grand Central Terminal, Mr. Thompson said that drivers now pay $30 every two years to register a vehicle in New York City, though they also pay additional state fees.

MANSFIELD, MA — The Shabbat dinner offers food for the body, but also for the soul, says Tzivi Kivman.

A holy day celebrated starting at sunset on Fridays by traditional Jews, Shabbat, or the Sabbath, is a way to enjoy and celebrate families, ensconced in atmosphere and heritage which makes it spiritual, said Kivman, director of the Jewish Women's Circle who recently held a kosher cuisine class in her Mansfield home.

The session involving 10 women, including Kivman, included whipping up a Shabbat dinner with traditional Jewish foods such as gefilte fish, matzah balls, kugels and a non-dairy cheesecake in under an hour, sprinkled with the significance and history behind the dishes.

Jewish dietary laws (kashruth) and holiday traditions reflect the availability of certain foods within different international regions.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia [FJC] — A group of members of the Jewish community of Donetsk took part in a visit to Rostov-on-Don to honor of one of a great Jewish leader of the Chassidic tradition. This visit took place in the lead-up to the anniversary of the birth of the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom-Dovber (otherwise known as Rebbe Rashab). He was born on 20 Cheshvan.

In all, twenty people from the Jewish community of Donetsk visited Rostov-on-Don, where the Rebbe’s ohel – the so-called grave of the righteous – is located. Among the participants were members of the Synagogue’s minyan, students at the ‘Tiferet Zkenim’ Yeshiva, pupils at the Cheder, participants in the ‘STARS’ youth program, and others. The group represented a balanced mix of young and old Jews, including even small children together with their parents.
