The Daily Princetonian
Rabbi Webb and Family
Princeton, NJ — Following extensive debate last night, the USG Senate voted down a resolution urging President Tilghman to reconsider the denial of University chaplaincy to Chabad Rabbi Eitan Webb.

“We weren't elected to pass resolutions that reflect our own views,” USG president Rob Biederman '08 said. “It would be irresponsible if we took sides on issues that are not clear cut.” He added that the USG, as a rule, refrains from supporting resolutions on divisive issues.

Samarkand, Uzbekistan — A community Seder was held for Samarkand's Jewish community to celebrate Passover last week at Orh Avner Sunday School. Over 200 people gathered around the table to read the Hagadah and get the chance to meet with friends some rarely get the chance to see. This year, at the Ohr Avner funded Seder, one of the most notable restaurants in town was made kosher under Samarkand's chief Rabbi Isaac Jacobson for the event.

Blacksburg, VA — As Israel observed Holocaust Day, thousands of miles away, A Rumanian-born Holocaust survivor gave his life in another senseless murder - and apparently in an act of heroism.

Among the 32 people killed by a lone gunman at Virginia Tech Monday is 77-year-old engineering professor, Liviu Librescu, a citizen of Israel. According to eyewitness accounts, Librescu ran to the door of his classroom and blocked it with his body – preventing the gunman from entering but getting shot to death himself as a result.
