Dr. Levi A. Reiter an Audiologist and professor at the Hofstra University, produced a new CD entitled “NO MACHLOKIS”. That’s right our own Dr. Reiter does the vocals, and Yossi Benshimon does the music. The result is a humorous well executed Rap with a good beat, a bit of an Afro-American twang, Chassidus, and a real message to Jewish communities everywhere.

Summer is here and many residents begin going upstate for the summer, be it for the country, sleep away camp or just to visit the use of the highways increase significantly and so does the chance of getting pulled over.

An unfortunate occurrence is a driver gets pulled over and does not know he or she had a suspended drivers license for an unpaid or forgotten ticket the result of which would be the drivers immediate arrest.

Please read the following letter and make sure you aren’t driving with a suspended license!

Dear Friend:

Each year hundreds of people within our community are arrested while driving with a suspended driver license. The Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend your driving privileges for a variety of reasons. The most common reason a license is suspended is if you don’t answer a traffic summons, or if you fail to pay the full fine or surcharge listed on the summons.

The friendliness Rabbi Chaim Bruk has encountered in Montana has made his move to the state an easy one.

Finding kosher food has been a bit tougher, but he and his wife, Chavie, haven't let that stop them from settling into Bozeman.

“I bought a house, and we're here for life,” Bruk, 25, said in a recent interview.
