CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — Tensions are high in Crown Heights, where Jewish community leaders and local NYPD brass are clashing over charges there's been a spike in bias beatings of Jews.

Experts Turn Over Key Jewish Practice to the Public
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — In an unprecedented event, the Jewish Children’s Museum plans to reveal the entire process of creating a Hebrew Torah scroll to the public and allow visitors to try it themselves. An expert scribe handwrites 304,805 individual letters in a Torah scroll in a process that lasts one year on average.
While perhaps unconventional, the event – dubbed “Torah Unwrapped” – is ripe for the times and is a tradition that should be shared. A museum spokesman said this is a “chance to unite all people of very different interests and familiarity in a rich and stimulating journey.”
