The incident took place on Crown Street between Kingston and Albany Avenues at around 1:30 AM, Hatzalah received the call for an assault and upon arriving on scene they began treating the victim, who was described to be in his late 30’s, for serious trauma to the back of his head.

The Crown Heights JCC has arranged with the Forestry division of the NYC Parks Dept. to have all the S’chach picked up this week starting Wednesday October 10th until the end of the week.

The Parks Dept. vehicles will be going down every block in the community to pick up the S’chach put out in front of your house along the curbside. The vehicles will be going through the community only one time on a route that has not yet been determined. Therefore we do not know which street will be first and which street second, etc.

Please have all s’chach put out at the curb for these days. Please keep the s’chach along the building line until Wednesday.

If you miss this pickup, you may schedule your own pick up by calling 311.

LITCHFIELD, CT — The town's famous green is surrounded by picture postcard churches of all stripes - Protestant and Catholic, stone, wood and brick - with an abundance of crosses, steeples and stained-glass windows.

But when an orthodox Jewish group went before the Litchfield Historic District Commission last month to informally present its plans to transform a somewhat rundown 1870s Victorian on West Street into the town's first synagogue, the nit-picking immediately began.
