In the event it escaped your notice, this past Shabbos Crown Heights was host to the largest-ever Chabad on Campus Shabbaton. Close to a thousand college students and shluchim participated. The students, growing as Jews and on a journey learning about their Yiddishkeit, took a weekend off to experience an inspirational Shabbos amongst their fellow students. It was an opportunity for Crown Heights to really shine and it did, for the most part.

The students were easy to pick out from the Friday morning crowds on Kingston Ave. Dressed like our scattering of new yuppie neighbors, except for the yarmulkes on their heads, they could be seen navigating Crown Heights' sometimes aggressive pedestrian traffic together with their shluchim. Some looked wide-eyed and amazed by the sight of a modern day Chassidic community, while others just seemed disoriented by all the traffic and tumult.

Rabbi Yair Hoffman - Five Towns Jewish Times

Jews like coffee. The practice of Jews drinking coffee dates back well over a thousand years, since its exportation from the Arab city of Kefa. Its appearance in the responsa oeuvres of the Rishonim and Acharonim attests to the fact that it is a drink of Jews.1 The practice of coffee consumption continues until today with many Jews drinking coffee at that “cool” and “hip” number one coffee chain in America—Starbucks.
