Rabbinical student Chaim Gurary, 21, helps Charlie Smith, an inmate at Northern State Prison in Newark, put on tefillin. Gurary’s visit to the prison is part of a national outreach effort to Jewish prison inmates across the country by the Aleph Institute, a branch of Chabad Lubavitch.

NEWARK, NJ — For the first time since his bar mitzva, Charlie Smith, an inmate at Northern State Prison in Newark, put on tefillin on July 1.

“It was very special,” he told NJJN in an interview afterward. “I felt something I haven’t felt in years — a deeper connection to my faith and my heritage I haven’t felt in a long time.”

For the children at Camp Gan Israel in South Padre Island, Texas, summer fun means jet skis and deep-sea fishing.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX — Those long sultry days are back, and with school out for the season, millions of American children are fully enmeshed in summer fun. But aside from the outings to the arcade or neighborhood pool, more and more, children and parents are rediscovering camp – that quintessential youth activity of yesteryear – to be just the place to spend the summer.

KANSAS CITY, MO [AP] — A Torah scroll valued at about $30,000 reported stolen from a St. Louis-area synagogue is 1 of a handful of Torah scrolls stolen in the past year in the United States.

No one seems certain of a motive, but speculation includes a hate crime or selling the sacred documents on the black market, according to The Kansas City Star.
