There have been a rash of "Genayvos" recently in Crown Heights, which include houses, car windows - hubcaps an office and even Esthers (Moshiach) deli. In response to the numerous robberies and car break ins there's an idea being passed around to perhaps hold a massive demonstration outside the 71th precinct, to demand that cops step up efforts to catch the perpetrators and reduce crime.
Rabbi & Mrs. Chaim Yankel Broner of Crown Heights will IYH be leaving on Shlichus this week to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
