SARATOV, Russia –- Jews residing in the southern Russian city of Saratov were able to celebrate a monumental occasion this weekend, welcoming a new Torah scroll to the Great Choral Synagogue on the occasion of its 100-year anniversary.

Police and Press all over Crown Heights following Bias Incident

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Starting Shabbos afternoon, the 71st Precinct reacted to the racially motivated beating of a Bochur on Carroll Street, as was first reported here on CrownHeights.info. They posted a police car on the block, but a little over an hour after Shabbos was out, the car nor any kind of patrol was visible throughout the neighborhood.

The first major media outlet to report the bias crime was the Sunday edition of the New York Daily News, following which a thunderstorm of media began swarming Crown Heights including TV outlets NBC and CBS who were in Crown Heights and interviewed residents and members of Shomrim.
