Hate Crime in CH: Bochur Brutally Assaulted Friday Night

(Illustration)

At around 12:30am Friday night two Bochurim walking on Eastern Pkwy. and Rochester Ave. were assaulted. The incident began as the two were walking when they heard someone behind them yell “You ******* Jew”, when they turned around one of the Bochurim was struck in the face with a baseball bat, after which a group of about 7 to 8 Black Males closed in prepared to possibly lynch the Bochur when they both managed to fend off their assailants.

When the two got away and called for help other Yidden in the area called Hatzalah who responded immediately and began treating the victim, who one of the members described his injuries to his face as extremely severe. The victim was then transported to Kings County Hospital where police were called and officers from the 71st precinct responded to take the report were more then happy to hear it that the incident took place at the park entrance thereby making it a case for the 77th precinct, and so its one bias crime less for the 71st.

The victim stated that there was a group of about 7 or 8 Black males 3 or 4 of which were on bikes and one of them was dressed in a gray suit and pants.

Chabad movement gaining followers in South Florida

Miami Herald

ONCE CONSIDERED OBSCURE, CHABAD LUBAVITCH IS FAST

BECOMING POPULAR WITH SOUTH FLORIDA JEWS.

From sundown Friday until sundown Saturday, members of Chabad Lubavitch synagogues are forbidden to drive, cook meals or even flip a light switch. Leaders wear old-fashioned, heavy black coats and hats and long beards.

Their need to be within walking distance of their members has sometimes brought Chabad into conflict with local government officials. Many cities have zoning laws prohibiting houses of worship in private homes or shopping centers.

But this once-small branch of Orthodox, Hasidic Judaism is now attracting thousands of new participants, and new synagogues are sprouting up in single-family homes and storefronts throughout South Florida.

The Weekly Sedra – Nitzavim-Vayelech

This Shabbat is a preparation for Rosh HaShanna.

Nitzavim –Vayelech means ‘Standing firm and Moving” which is very symbolic of Rosh HaShanna when we are all standing firmly before G-d; certain that He our king and our father and will bless us with a good new year, and also moving spiritually upward and forward into more genuine levels of service.

But we see something strange here. In this week’s portion G-d promises that the Jews will become idolaters!

He says to Moses (31:15) Behold….this people will stray after the gods of the land….and they will leave me and transgress my covenant. And Moses (31:29) repeats it, ‘I know that after my death your will surely sin and turn from the path etc’ . In fact, this is the reason he writes the coming Torah section called HaAzinu; to stem the idolatry.

In the Trenches, From Illinois to Kiryat Shmona

EJ Tansky – Lubavitch.com

With putty in his ears to protect them from the roaring report of mortar fire, Morton Friedman of Wilmette, IL, supported Israel during the war from the frontlines.

When the war started, Friedman, a former Chief of the Criminal Division of the Cook County State Attorney’s Office, called Rabbi Dovid Flinkenstein at Chai Center-Chabad of Wilmette. He wanted to volunteer in Israel, and not just volunteer somewhere in Israel, which would have been enough, but in the north. “I had trouble conceptualizing why a Diaspora Jew’s blood is more worthy of protection than an Israeli Jew’s,” said Friedman.
