Just hours after 5 Jews were stabbed in anti-Semitic attack, hundreds are out on the street at the very spot where the attack took place to celebrate a Hachnasat Sefer Torah. (Inauguration of a Torah scroll)
The message is clear, hate will not stop us, fear will not paralyze us!
One year ago today, I captured these photos on 5th Ave in NYC. At the time we had no knowledge of this bird's origin or health and assumed he was injured. Fast forward to now, and Flaco the Eurasian eagle-owl is thriving as a beloved household name in NYC!

The NYPD to the rescue!
This huge owl landed on 5th Ave and just wouldn’t move, when NYPD officers brought a cage trying to get it to an animal shelter the owl probably decided that it’s a do-or-die moment and just took off.
Hey,

. I happen to know the family of this young man who suffers from Down syndrome. They have invested their lives in this kid. In fact, he holds a job and is as independent as one can be under these circumstances.
Now, an anti-Semite decided to use what is obviously a

As the grandson of Holocaust survivors lucky to live in the greatest country on earth,

is one more opportunity to express gratitude.
You put your lives on the line to secure the freedom of my family. Simply put, we wouldn't be here without you.
Thank you!
My grandmother, a holocaust survivor has been quarantined for weeks now as we have been very careful to ensure that she does not come in contact with the virus.
My brother,

and his son found a way to keep her company.
My grandparents at their wedding. Just months earlier he & his mom were on a train headed for Auschwitz, he had a knife with him, his mom urged him to break the grates, telling him that she is too old to jump but he should, he never saw his mother again.
He was 17.

The Orthodox Jewish community in Rockland County mourns the loss and honors the memory of NYPD Officer Brian Mulkeen, as the funeral procession makes its way trough Airmont.
Officer Mulkeen was killed in the line of duty, he was 33 years old.

You have every right to disagree with
@jacobkornbluh
, you have no right to put your hands on another human being, it is against the law, it is against the Torah, and it is reprehensible.
I was just brutally assaulted, hit in the head, and kicked at by an angry crowd of hundreds of community members of the Boro Park protest — while yelling at me “Nazi” and “Hitler” —after Heshy Tischler recognized me and ordered the crowd to chase me down the street
A friend of mine, a volunteer member of Hatzalah has been risking his life for five weeks now, his wife & 4 children quarantined in a 2 bedroom Brooklyn apartment, he sleeps in a separate bedroom not to infect them.
Imagine how he feels reading the

My son’s teacher (Skver-Monsey) just showed up in front of our house with an entire package for Pesach, including a custom Haggadah and other material for Passover.
We are just one of 25 stops he made today.
There are some incredible people among us.
Two years ago today, I will never forget where I stood when I got that phone call, the horror at the scene, the pain and the loss that followed.
The night antisemitism and hate struck my community.
Never forget Josef Neumann who was murdered for being Jewish.
The Flaco fan base.
An intrigued and increasingly worried crowd is growing west of the Central Park Zoo, glancing up to the tree where Flaco has been hanging out as we enter day five since the Eurasian-eagle owl escaped his sanctuary at the zoo.

@ChaverimRocklnd
is amazing. It’s almost midnight, it’s pouring outside, and across my home 5 volunteers are working to connect a generator to the home of a neighbor who is on life support.
These guys are the best!
As an Orthodox Jew I wouldn’t trade my life for anything. I don't expect everyone to have the same experiences I had, and I can’t speak for
@JuliaHaart
because I have not lived her life, but she can’t speak for me, my wife, or my children either, and she doesn't.
