Orlando, FL — When Rabbi Chaim and Rivkie Lipskier learned they would be co-directors of the new Chabad house at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, they were excited to start a permanent home together as emissaries, or shluchim, of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The husband-and-wife team had traveled to dozens of locations around the world to reach out to Jewish communities, and finally found their place in Florida.

Pasadena, CA — This past Sunday, Chabad of Pasadena community members gathered at the park for a fun-filled day of games, food and schmoozing. The great weather and fine turn-out made this years Lag Ba'Omer event a truly memorable one. The community baseball game was lots of fun, with players ranging in ages from four years old to sixty years old. The kids enjoyed playing a wide variety of relay races as well as jumping on the most deluxe moon-bounce LA has to offer. An all-you-can-eat BBQ and some great snacks made this a truly enjoyable picnic...

The Jerusalem Post
Russia's Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar said Sunday that not enough was being done to deal with neo-Nazi groups in the country, Israel Radio reported.

The rabbi's comments came a day after the murder of a Jewish teacher in St. Petersburg. The stab wounds on Dmitriy Nikulinskiy's body, noted Lazar, prove that his killing was an anti-Semitic attack.

St. Petersburg has a long history of terror-related murders, but this is the first time in the last few years that a Jew was murdered for this reason, added the rabbi.

Crown Heights, Brooklyn – Last night, Motzoai Shabbos at around 10:00pm a Bochur was walking on Albany Ave between Eastern Parkway and Union St and talking on his cell phone noticed three Black teens hanging around on the corner of Eastern Pkwy and Albany, so he avoided them and continued walking when all of a sudden one of them threw a glass bottle at him.

B”H the bottle missed the Bochur, it fell short and smashed all over the sidewalk. The Bochur immediately called Shomrim who responded and canvassed the area for what the Bochur described was three Black teens around the ages of 17 all wearing black raincoats with hoodies.
