As R. Moshe Rubashkin, head of the Vaad HaKahal, was dancing in the streets of Crown Heights accompanied by a float playing lively Purim music, where he was 'lucky' enough to run into his political rival R. Chanina Sperlin.

Witnesses described the scene as Sperlin Yelling at Rubashikin Something to the effect of “Chillul Hashem” and “Why are you laying on the street?”.

Some of you may be planning on spending this coming Shabbos/Purim away from home. What you may not realize is that after you leave your homes for Shabbos, people might leave Shalach Manos packages outside your doors. Please be aware that the Shomrim and Police Department has informed us that the last time Purim was on a Friday, many homes were burglarized because of this. We are therefore urging all of our members to do the following:

a) If you are delivering Shalach Manos to a home close to Shabbos, and the residents are not home, DO NOT LEAVE IT. Rather, you could call after Shabbos to say that you tried their home but they were not there.

b) If you will be away, arrange with a neighbor to ensure that the front of your doors is cleared of all packages prior to the start of Shabbos.

c) If you see any Shalach Manos packages in front of your neighbor’s door prior to the start of Shabbos, please take the initiative to bring them into your home. Inform your neighbors when they return that you have their Shalach Manos.

We would like to wish all of our members and friends along with their families a safe and a Freilichen Purim.
