Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas State Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: "Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

BEIJING, China — The capital's only Kosher restaurant opened 10 months ago, drawing the small Jewish expatriate community, tourists, curious Chinese and even a few Muslims. Business has been so good at Dini's Kosher Restaurant, that part-owner Lewis Sperber is talking about setting up a second branch closer to the Olympic venues in northern Beijing.

A Once Derided Jewish Ritual Now In High Vogue
B. Olidort with Dvora Lakein
BROOKLYN, NY — Back in the 1970s, women’s mikvah was something you might have heard about in hushed whispers, and then only among observant women. A private matter cloaked in discretion, if your mother didn’t teach you about it, chances are, you didn’t know anything about it. At best, you might have had some vague notions about some obsolete tradition that harked back to menstrual taboos and had more to do with personal hygiene than with anything spiritual.

A helmeted Rabbi Yossi Deren, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Greenwich, Conn., helps New York Giants fan David Katz put on tefillin at a tailgating party in Roslyn, N.Y.
GREENWICH, CT — By most accounts, the New York Giants are the underdog going into Sunday's Super Bowl LXII against the undefeated New England Patriots. Their post-season history in the last two decades, and their 10-6 regular season performance this year, begs the question: “How could they possibly find themselves here?”

Sharon Udasin - The Jewish Week
BOZEMAN, MT — Stocked full of kosher meat products from Iowa, an 18-wheeler lumbers across South Dakota en route to Seattle, lurching to a brief stop along Interstate 90 in central Montana. Under snow-capped mountains in Bozeman, a lone, sheitel-wearing redhead drives to a rest area on the highway, waiting for the semi to appear. When it does, she unloads what in Big Sky country is precious cargo — the kosher-certified meat and chicken that helps sustain the handful of observant Jews in this picturesque college town.Chavie Bruk, 23, moved with her husband to Montana 10 months ago to become the first Chabad-Lubavitch shluchim (emissaries) in the state. The chasidic movement sends young men and women all over the world to make Jewish learning and traditions more accessible — even in the middle of sparsely populated Montana.
