MASSTRICHT, The Netherlands — The Jewish community of Maastricht, Netherlands, together with the municipality and the local Sphinx Tiles manufacturer, arranged for the reburial of Jewish remains from an 18th century cemetery.

According to local historians, the area surrounding the planned construction of a new Sphinx building was used by the Jewish community as a cemetery from 1782 to 1822. When officials with the company learned of the cemetery's supposed presence, they notified Rabbis Yaakov Yitzchak Schapiro, director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Limburg and North Brabant, and Binyomin Jacobs of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Netherlands and a member of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe, who suggested that a team of archaeologists supervise the necessary digging.

“I have been to many funerals in my life, but I have never seen someone cry with as much pain as the Rebbe cried for that soldier.” The following is an unbelievable encounter that one of the Rebbe's Secretaries experienced with Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka OBM in the winter of 1966.

BROOKLYN, NY — Long before the first rapper stopped snitching or any Mafiosi swore an oath of omertà, there was the Jewish law of mesira.
