After Brooklyn Fire, Assessing the Risks of Shabbat Technology

How Can Observant Jews Keep Food Warm and Stay Safe?

Every Friday night, in countless observant Jewish homes across the United States, someone turns on a hot plate or a gas stovetop, and then doesn’t turn it off again for twenty-four hours.

The practice is so common that it blends into the background of traditionally observant Jewish life. But since a malfunctioning Sabbath hot plate became the prime suspect in a fire that killed seven children in a Brooklyn Orthodox household on March 21, this everyday workaround for a Sabbath prohibition has become a focus of citywide concern.

There is a Secret about Marine Park that You Never Heard About

Marine Park Entrance

There are over 1,500 parks in the New York City area. Some of them are immense in size and others are quite small. The most commonly known parks in the New York City area are Central Park, Prospect Park, Bryant Park, and Washington Square Park. However, there is another park that is lesser-known which is in South Brooklyn. The park is one of the largest in the New York City area and takes up almost 800 acres of land. This park is called Marine Park.

The neighborhood around the actual park is also called Marine Park. It has a population of just under 95,000 residents who are mainly of Irish, Italian, Greek, and Jewish descent. The neighborhood is known for celebrating many Irish Catholic events and has many Roman Catholic churches around the neighborhood.

When compared to many other parks in New York City, Marine Park is typically never really mentioned. This is due to the overall popularity of Manhattan parks and the name recognition and publicity that Prospect Park receives. But wait! If you look at Marine Park’s history, you will be intrigued to learn about a little secret that is almost never mentioned by anyone.

European rabbis get self-defense training after anti-Semitic attacks

Conference of Rabbis from European countries have gathered in Prague. Rabbis practiced training in self-defense against rapists. Europe's growing anti-Semitic sentiment and increasing the Jews attacked or killed. Conference held European Jewish Association under the auspices of Rabbi Menachem Margolin. It was attended by 100 rabbis from Europe.

In the wake of a spate of anti-Semitic terror attacks across Europe in recent months, hundreds of rabbis from around the Continent received self-defense and first aid training at a conference in Prague on Tuesday.

At the conference, organized by the Rabbinical Center of Europe and the European Jewish Association, participants were presented with possible terror attack scenarios on Jewish institutions. They were instructed on basic self-defense moves, as well as instruction provided by Israelife-United Hatzalah on how to provide initial medical treatment prior to the arrival of emergency services.

Conference organizer Rabbi Menachem Margolin said that “unfortunately, the vast majority of European Jewish institutions are not provided with sufficient security by their governments. This is why we have decided to provide rabbis and Jewish community leaders across the continent with basic knowledge and tools in order for them to be able to provide initial first aid and self-defense during a terror attack.”

The conference came after two very high-profile attacks against Jewish targets in recent months. On January 9, a gunman killed four Jewish victims at the Hyper Cacher kosher market in Paris. That attack was followed by a February 15 attack outside of a synagogue in Copenhagen Denmark in which a Jewish security guard was shot in the head and killed.

Battle rages for town where Ukraine rebels reject ceasefire

Ukrainian government forces are encircled in the eastern town of Debaltseve, a strategic railway hub. They’re sandwiched between rebel positions and are being pounded by shelling.

The fighting means a Euoropean-brokered peace deal — that included Russian-President Vladimir Putin – is on the verge of collapse, just one day after a ceasefire took effect.

(SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) UKRAINIAN SOLDIER, AKHMET, SAYING: “The shelling does not stop. And although Putin said there is a ceasefire, it does not make any sense….We don’t’ know ourselves what is going to happen. I have to run as there is not much time left.”

The fighting in Ukraine subsided in many parts of the east after the ceasefire began. But in Debaltseve, where most of the intense fighting has taken place in recent weeks — the truce appears to be stillborn.

Rebels have been advancing on the town since January and say they have no intention of observing the truce.

(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) REBEL, NOM DE GUERRE “SCORPION”, SAYING: “Debaltseve is our land. It is not Ukrainian. And we will take it as it is our land and it is our people there.

People do not want to live with the authorities who came there and which is imposing their will on them.”

Instead, separatists surrounding Debaltseve offered government troops a safe corridor to — quote — “get out of here” … a proposal the government rejected.

Under the peace deal, government forces were to pull back heavy weapons from the front-line – something Ukraine says it won’t do as long as this fragile truce is violated.

What You Should Do If You Win the Powerball Jackpot

Are you feeling lucky?

Did you buy a Powerball ticket for tonight’s drawing, which will pay out an estimated $500 million jackpot? Join the club: Thousands upon thousands will fork over at least $2 apiece for a ticket in the 43 states—along with the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands—participating in the lottery.

Like almost anyone else, if you win, you will probably visit a real estate agent to purchase that new home and then call a travel agent to book a luxurious vacation. You might also decide to pay a visit to a dealership to buy a fancy car.

While each of these suddenly affordable opportunities would tempt a newly minted megamillionaire, none would be the best initial course of action.

Just look at the history of lottery winners. Many ended up in debt—or worse, went broke because they mismanaged their newfound riches.

Easy money can do that to people. It makes them blind to what steps to take to ensure that those funds last a lifetime—and, for their loved ones’ sake, beyond. Rather than being prudent, many of the suddenly super-rich feel obligated to make that big purchase or, for some reason, agree to provide financial support for a third cousin of their step-brother-in-law.

But instead of visiting that car dealer or travel agent, the first thing anyone lucky enough to win a lottery jackpot should do is to find a trusted, qualified financial planner.

Iran to host Holocaust denial cartoon competition

Artist who creates best drawing satirizing the genocide of Jews will receive $12,000 prize, in contest inspired by Charlie Hebdo images.

An Iranian cultural center announced a plan to hold a competition for Holocaust denial cartoons, in response to the massacre targeting the Charlie Hebdo magazine after it published cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

Iran’s House of Cartoon and the Sarcheshmeh Cultural Complex organized the competition, according to the Independent, and invited participants to submit satirical drawings on the subject of Holocaust denial by the beginning of April. The competition announced a $12,000 prize for the winner, with prizes of $8,000 and $5,000 for second and third place, respectively.

Masud Shojaei-Tabatabaii, the organizer of the competition, said the cartoons would be displayed at the Palestine Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran before being shown in other parts of the capital.

The competition is the second of its kind in Iran. In 2006, Hamshahiri, the country’s most popular newspaper, announced a search for the “cleverest” cartoons satirizing the genocide of Europe’s Jews. The newspaper said the competition was a reaction to the “double standard” in the West about freedom of expression.
