With great sorrow the news has been received a few moments ago about the passing in good old age of Mrs. Ethel Zuckor OBM, Mother of Mrs. Shaindel Marantz and Mrs. Rivka Kaye of Kfar Chabad. She passed away at the age of 102.

She merited to see her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren who go in the way of Chassidus and are occupied with the Rebbe's Shlichus. Her long life was attributed to when she once passed by the Rebbe for dollars, the Rebbe blessed her with Arichus Yomim.

The funeral will set out today, 29 Tamuz, 6:30pm from her daughter Shaindel Marantz's home, 205 New Shikunim Kfar Chabad, Israel, and at 8:00pm it will set out from the Bait Shamgar Funeral Home to the Mount of Olives ”Har Hazaisim".

Officer Russel Timoshenko, the young police officer shot Monday during a traffic stop in Brooklyn, has died.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Saturday evening that Timoshenko passed at the Kings County Hospital surrounded by family and members of the 71st Precinct.

"He made the ultimate sacrifice with unflinching sacrifice to do it; we are more committed than ever to the prosecution of the individuals responsible for his death,” said Kelly.

Kelly said Timoshenko passed away on his own; he had been paralyzed, suffered brain swelling, and was unable to breathe on his own since the shooting.

Shiela Steinman Wallace - Jewish Louisville
Louisville, KY — Rabbi Yosef Levy came to Louisville in 1999 to be the Orthodox Union’s (OU) kosher supervisor in Kentuckiana. In that capacity, he inspects nearly 100 food production facilities in an area stretching from London, KY, to Indianapolis, to Buckner to Bowling Green.

His job is demanding, involving long hours of travel, sometimes at short notice, and great attention to details.

But as a Chabad rabbi, he also feels it is incumbent upon himself to become part of the community he calls home, and to work to bring that community together and strengthen it.

1. In the beginning of the second Torah portion which we read this week (Parshas Masei) the Torah tells us about all the journeys which the Jewish people traveled from the time they left Egypt until they finally entered in to the Land of Israel[1].

Rashi [2] tells us that there were 42 journeys in all [3].

2. The Rebbe shows us the Chassidic insight regarding these journeys:

Rabbinical students Berel Zaklikofsky, left, and Mendel Sossonko wait at the prison gate.

Aberdeen, WA — There are only a handful of Jews in the Stafford Creek Correctional Center. They say a general lack of understanding about their faith is stressful. So is what feels like constant Christian proselytizing by fellow inmates and the occasional corrections officer.

Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie - JPost

Chabad is one of the great wonders of the Jewish world. Following World War II, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson assumed the leadership of the movement, the headquarters of which had previously moved to New York. In little more than half a century, Rabbi Schneerson took this small Chasidic group, which was little understood in America and which had lost most of its members in the Holocaust, and created a vast network of educational and religious institutions that today touch the lives of tens of thousands of Jews.
