Westminster, CO — Rabbi Benjy Brackman is preparing for the Jewish holiday of Purim.

This week, he will don a traditional costume and recite the religious message he has written and memorized before a video recorder.

You won't hear this message at any synagogue. But you can find it on YouTube.com.

Brackman, who leads the Chabad of Northwest Denver, has turned to a novel use of the Internet to get his message across.

So, mixed in with the videos of rock bands, people playing air guitar, stupid human tricks and the vast array of self-posted videos on the site, there are two short messages from Brackman to his followers so far.

The Fox Chapel Herald
Fox Chapel, PA — The Guyasuta Volunteer Fire Depart-ment has taken a new member into its ranks and hopes that his presence will aid victims during times of tragedy.

The fire department's board recently named Rabbi Ely Rosenfeld, 29, of O'Hara, Chaplain of the fire and emergency response unit.

“I see (the fire department) as an incredible inspiration,” Rosenfeld, who is a director of the Fox Chapel Center for Jewish Life, said. “Everyone there is a professional during the day and they don't have time for this — but they give the time. It reminds me that no matter what time it is, you have to be there.”

Worcester, MA — A gift of nearly $2 million from the estate of Max and Ida Fallman will allow the Yeshiva Academy day school to offer college scholarships for the first time, Rabbi Hershel Fogelman said yesterday.

Mr. Fallman, whose family fled the Nazis in Austria to the United States in 1939, was a member of the Yeshiva board and a trustee of the Congregation Tifereth Israel Sons of Jacob Synagogue, Rabbi Fogelman said. Mr. Fallman was a photographer by trade and died in 2001.

One Student’s Thoughts on a Campus Shabbaton

Chaim Zimmerman – Chabad.edu

S. Diego, CA — Some may call it overcrowding. Others may call it a fire hazard. But to Chabad, it was just another Shabbaton. After more than 600 college students from across California and Arizona descended on Chabad at S. Diego State University for the Feb.1-3 gathering, the scene Friday night was intense: The walls seemed to literally extend outward to make room for the myriad students, and despite the cramped circumstances, only smiles graced every face. This was just the beginning of the weekend, and more promised to follow.
