The Exhilaration of Intention

by: Michael Gerber

Michael Gerber speaking at the West Coast Kinus HaShuchim

I just had an amazing realization during a keynote address I gave to the Chabad of California annual rabbis’ conference.

The realization was, and is, that I am here in this world for a Purpose. A Purpose I have never understood. But a Purpose which, as I spoke to the Chabad Schluchum (rabbis), became as clear to me as anything I have ever felt or experienced.

Slain Officer Russell Timoshenko
A bungling techie in the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office accidentally erased an audiotape recording of a statement by one of the men charged in the death of NYPD Officer Russel Timoshenko, The Post has learned.

There were no other copies of the cassette, made July 12 by detectives as they grilled Robert Ellis at the state police barracks in Swiftwater, Pa., said sources familiar with the case.

It's the second major snafu associated with the high-profile case and the latest in a laundry list of legal lapses for DA Charles Hynes in the past year.

Smashing Adar Rishon at YNS

TZFAS, Israel [CHI] — The month started off with a Siyum on Gemora on Rosh Codesh by Hatomim Chaim Shimon Dubov and Hatomim HaShliach Shlomo Yager. It was very inspiring to hear Rabbi ‘O’rimland, Rosh HaYeshiva, speak about a bochur who came to the yeshiva saying I can’t, I can’t, I can’t!!! Today, besides the siyum he is also finishing Basar V’Cholov.
