A group of rabbis from Israel have sent a letter to US President George W. Bush warning him that if the planned Annapolis Middle East parley is not cancelled, a disaster will befall US citizens, just as Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans after Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip in August 2005.

RISHON LEZION, Israel — In what has become a tradition, Israeli second graders again began their year of learning the book of Genesis by attending a program run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Youth Organization. Called Chagigat HaChumash, or Torah festival, the now 25-year-old program will welcome over the course of a month some 20,000 seven-year-olds from across the country at Chabad centers and in the village of Kfar Chabad.

WORCESTER, MA — Rabbi Hershel Fogelman and his wife, Rochele, who improbably began an Orthodox Jewish school here 65 years ago that has grown into a Hasidic education center for New England, were honored last night by several hundred school alumni, family and friends with a dinner and memories at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

“We are their miracle,” said Rabbi Martin Schloss, director of the division of school services for the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York and an alumnus of the school. “Look at this room. Graduates of the Yeshiva make a difference in the world.”

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz likes to tell about the time he had seven projects on his table, and felt he needed to drop some of them. He wanted the Rebbe’s advice on how to prioritize, as he couldn’t possibly work on them all.
