I would like to share my recent experiences with you, and to convey my personal feelings of gratitude to RCCS.

I vividly remember that fateful day last May. I had just returned from some pre-Yom Tov shopping and checked my answering machine. A woman with a sweet and gentle voice asked that I return her call as soon as possible to discuss something very important.

Pamela McLoughlin - New Haven Register
ORANGE, CT — Rabbi Sheya Hecht always tells people he had “a better mentor” than his oldest son, Mendy, does, but that self-effacing view is part of what makes Sheya Hecht such a good father to his 10 children, 200 students and hundreds of congregants.

The “better mentor” to whom he refers, his own father, the late Rabbi Moshe Yitzchok Hecht, founded the New Haven Hebrew Day School in the 1940s beginning with a few students. Moshe Hecht also brought the Chabad movement to Greater New Haven; Chabad is a Hassidic movement in which a central theme is outreach to the community.

Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended Tuesday

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Tuesday, December 25, for holiday observance. Because Xmas Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended.

On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect seven days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”).
