WATERBURY, CT [CHI] — It is human nature to seek the good in even the blackest of tragedies. One would be hard pressed to find the light in the four-day terrorist attack on the Indian city of Mumbai, which killed 164 civilians and security personnel last November, including Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, a young couple running the Chabad Nariman House that is now thought to have been the target of the city-wide attack.
In a letter sent home from schools, community physicians warn of a Mumps outbreak in our community. The note said that “although at this time seems concentrated amongst adolescent boys; we expect will spread further throughout the community.” The note goes on to explain what the symptoms are and how to go about treating it.
CrownHeights.info wishes Mazal Tov to Betzalel and Nomi (nee Kaner) Sandman (New Haven, CT) on the birth of their son.
May the newborn be a source of Nachas to his parents, grandparents and Klal Yisroel.

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale
But the real problem with this man
Is he says he can’t when he can
He’d rather not get his hands dirty
He’ll still be there when he’s thirty
I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I’ve just worked out that I’m falling apart
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian
Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion

MONTREAL [CHI] — Imagine a small town, all within the confines of four walls, where all of Montreal’s children with special needs can practice basic life skills—shopping for groceries, counting change, paying bills at the bank.
Now imagine hundreds of people walking together to make this happen.
Avos Ubanim International and the Igud Menahalei Yeshivos are proud to announce the official launching of this year’s Father & Son learning program.
Fathers! Here is a golden opportunity to spend quality time with your son! Join many other fathers and sons as they gather for an hour of learning and quality time. The Kol Torah is contagious!

Barnstable police respond to a break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center on West Main Street in Hyannis yesterday.
HYANNIS, MA — Three youths will be arraigned Friday morning in connection with Tuesday’s break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Cod. The local teenagers are accused of vandalizing the synagogue, pulling a charity box off the wall, smashing doors, and throwing phylacteries on the floor. Especially disturbing to the center’s rabbi and the broader community was the overt message the teens left in their wake.
When the break-in was discovered Wednesday, images of Adolf Hitler were displayed on each computer screen. Anti-Semitic literature was strewn around the building.

Rebbe, why didn't Chabad establish its headquarters in Israel? Are you not concerned with assimilation? These questions feature in a private audience between the Rebbe and the Directors of the Hillel Foundation, in August 1959. To learn more about the Rebbe visit: portraitofaleader.org

Yesterday, 33 Democrats voted “no” and 20 Democrats voted “present” on House Resolution 867, which condemned the “Goldstone report” on Israel's conduct in Gaza last winter. The final roll call vote on the House floor was 344 for, 36 against, and 22 present.
H. Res. 867, introduced by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, calls on the Obama administration to oppose efforts by the Arab states in the UN General Assembly and other international forums to use the Goldstone report as a propaganda tool and a diplomatic weapon to attack Israel. In all, 21 percent of the Democratic caucus did not support this pro-Israel measure, including Crown Heightses representative Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — This past Sunday evening, November 1st, Bais Menachem - Youth Development Program of Wilkes-Barre, PA celebrated its 10 year anniversary with a gala dinner at the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The dinner was organized by a group of Bais Menachem alumni to mark this momentous occasion.
