Shomrim Nab Car Vandal!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Last night Shomrim received a call from three alert Yidden who witnessed a Black male punch and damage a parked car for no apparent reason. The witnesses called Shomrim who responded and followed the perp until police arrived.

The incident took place on Albany Avenue between Crown and Montgomery, where the perp just randomly punched a parked car and dented the rear quarter panel. The car belonged to Jewish residents but did not appear to have been selected because of that.

With great pain and sadness we inform you of the passing of Reb Meir Itkin at the age of 96. Reb Meir was born in the village of ‘Nevel’ in Russia on Chof Tammuz 5671.

Reb Meir was a fixture in 770 with his house just a few feet away, where he was seen Davening and Farbrenging every Shabbos and then some! His daily Chavrusa with Reb Yehuda Chitrik A”H in 770 was familiar sight as well.

The Levaya will be Tommrow, Friday, and will be leaving for the Shomrai Hadas Chapels at around 11:30am and will be passing by 770 at around 12:00pm.

Officials say the fire that caused all the damage is suspicious — and they have not yet ruled out that an arsonist could be to blame. The rabbi heard the disturbing news just after the fire was put out.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the punishments for going against Hashem’s commandments are discussed (this is called “the Tochacha”).

2. The Rebbe begins a discussion concerning how we should look at life:

We find that our Sages described our supposed perspective on life in two ways:

1) “Kol D’Avid Rachamana L’Tov Avid - Whatever the Merciful One does, He does it for the best” .

CEDARHURST, NY — Many of us know at least one person who speaks of his of her days in Hebrew school with the same tone of voice as when speaking of wisdom-tooth removal or chicken pox. However, you won’t hear any such talk from the attendees of the Chabad Hebrew School in Cedarhurst. Those moans and groans have been replaced by squeals of delight.
