Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
G-d said to Abraham “Go for yourself, away from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.”
– Genesis 12:1

“Go for yourself” For your own benefit and for your own good.
– Rashi Genesis 12:1

During his monthly visits to the market in Krakow, a wealthy merchant took note of an extremely pious woman.

The woman; a widow, would huddle near her basket of bread reciting Psalms. She would only lift her eyes from her worn prayer book to sell a roll. After each sale, she would immediately return to the frayed pages that were moistened with teardrops, but not before thanking her customers and showering them with blessings.

Amherst, MA — Bradley N. Skikne, a 22-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an emergency medical technician, lost his life Sunday after rescuing another just a half hour before, police said.

“His desire and pleasure was to help people,” said Bradley’s parents, Michael, 52, and Michele, 49, in a statement to the Advocate. “He touched and enriched our lives beyond comprehension.”

Bradley, a Middleton native, lost control of his 2004 Toyota Matrix on Amherst Road in Pelham when his car careened into an embankment and then flipped over, according to Pelham Police Department Chief Edward Fleury. Skikne, who was not wearing a seatbelt, died instantly, Fleury said. Police are still investigating whether speed was a factor.

A Letter From R. Yisroel Shemtov:

Dear Friends:

How wonderful it was this year to celebrate Simchas Beis Hashoeva once more as a united community – thanks to the blessed initiative of the Vaad Hakahal of Crown Heights!

Every evening, thousands of Crown Heights residents and guests who were here for Tishre came to rejoice in unity with true Ahavas Yisroel. On Chol Hamoed, many thousands of Jews came from other neighborhoods to participate in and enjoy the Simchas Yom Tov, which has become renowned throughout the greater New York area, making it a great Kiddush Hashem.
