Asara BeTeves - A Hate Worse Than Death
DONT FORGET TO FAST!
A Hate Worse Than Death
By Rabbi Yehudah Prero
The Talmud (Yoma 9b) discusses the causes for the destruction of the two Temples. “Why was the first Bais HaMikdosh destroyed? Because of three [evil] things which prevailed (during that time): idolatry, immorality, bloodshed.” The Gemora continues “But why was the second Bais HaMikdosh destroyed, seeing that in its time they were occupying themselves with Torah, [observance of] mitzvos, and the practice of charity? Because baseless hatred was prevalent at that time.”

Revisiting The Horrors Of The Holocaust
Revisiting The Horrors Of The Holocaust
Millions Of Nazi Documents Are Being Made Available To The Public
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/14/60minutes/main2267927.shtml
CBS) For the first time, secrets of the Nazi Holocaust that have been hidden away for more than 60 years are finally being made available to the public. We’re not talking about a missing filing cabinet - we’re talking about thousands of filing cabinets, holding 50 million pages. It's Hitler’s secret archive.
The Nazis were famous for record keeping but what 60 Minutes found ran from the bizarre to the horrifying. This Holocaust history was discovered by the Allies in dozens of concentration camps, as Germany fell in the spring of 1945.
As correspondent Scott Pelley reports, the documents were taken to a town in the middle of Germany, called Bad Arolsen, where they were sorted, filed and locked way, never to be seen by the public until now.

Rabbi of Chabad/Young Israel sounds the shofar
Rabbi Lazar Rivkin of Chabad/Young Israel of Tampa sounds the shofar calls in the week before Rosh Hashanah, 5767. Rabbi Rivkin and his son, Rabbi Uriel Rivkin, led a series of Shofar Factory prgrams at synagogues in the Tampa area to teach local Jewish youth about the shofar and its uses and meanings.
The Rabbi demonstrates the calls here, although he also adds a few extras at the end. The calls are "tekiah" one long opening blast. Then, "Shevarim," three medium blasts almost imitating the sound of plaintive moaning. Then, "T'ruah" a string of nine or more short blasts sounding like an alarm, or even deep sobbing. The set of calls then traditionally ends with the "Tekiah Gedolah," the longest blast of all.
The horn itself must be from a kosher animal, although not taken from a living one. Cows are ruled out due to the sin of the Golden Calf (why remind Hashem of our sins right when we are seeking his forgiveness). The Talmud (Tractate Rosh Hashanah) specifies that an antelope or ram horn is acceptable. However, traditionally most European and Sephardi Jews prefer the Ram's horn, while Yemenite Jews prefer the kudu antelope's long curly horn.

CBS 2 Investigates: Too Good For Gridlock
Man Fakes His Way Out Of Sitting In Traffic Like Rest Of Us
Scott Weinberger
Reporting
(CBS) NEW YORK You see it all over the city, an unmarked car with emergency lights flashing trying to make it through traffic. But have you ever wondered while you're sitting in gridlock what the emergency was?
A natural thought from drivers who on any given day deal with some of the worst traffic in the country -- average commute time 90 minutes -- is "this guy must be headed to a serious emergency."
Or is he?
CBS 2 caught up to one such unmarked car in a heck of a hurry.
Scott Weinberger: "Can you tell me what emergency your are responding to?
Man: "Excuse me?"
Scott Weinberger: "What emergency are you responding to?"
The man's name is Isaac Heschel. His official looking black Crown Victoria is his personal car. However, the lights and sirens he admits he paid someone to install.
Heschel is a rabbi who volunteers his time as a chaplain to the MTA and Port Authority Police, but both agencies said he has no right to have emergency lights, or drive like this.
Scott Weinberger: "Why do you have lights and sirens in your car?"
Heschel: "There are reasons for that sir."
We first learned of Rabbi Heschel's unusual driving habits from a home video sent to CBS 2 by a member of law enforcement who wants to remain anonymous. Sent with the tape was a note that claimed Heschel was putting pedestrians and other drivers in danger.
We had to see for ourselves. So, on the ground and in the air we followed Heschel for days, and what we found was stunning.
At crosswalks he used lights to move pedestrians along. And if traffic gets too bad he drives the wrong way up a street.
Remember, he is not a cop. He is not going to an emergency.
Heschel is actually a 47th Street diamond dealer with some multifaceted perks. Not only does he get to take the fast lane to work, a sweet free parking spot was always waiting for him. Heschel avoided tickets by using a special parking placards.
Scott Weinberger: "Why don't you use the same placard everyday?"
Heschel: "It's a matter, uh ... there's reasons for it."
Scott Weinberger: "Can you tell me what they are?"
Heschel: "It depends what I'm doing that day."
It was on the way to the Diamond District that day we saw Heschel’s official looking car use the HOV lane to avoid a major traffic jam on the Prospect Expressway.
When lights and sirens aren't enough, not even a tie up at the Lincoln Tunnel stops our reckless rabbi. The lights flash; he gets out and actually moves several traffic cones, and then drives past a Port Authority Police checkpoint without ever being challenged.
Scott Weinberger: "What was the necessity for you to use your lights, to remove cones, to go through a closed entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel?"
Heschel: "Sir, I don't think what I do I need to discuss with you."
While Heschel seemed unconcerned, others were.
"It goes to show us that that we have some vulnerabilities from people who pretend to be official emergency vehicles," former FBI agent William Daly said. "They could be used to transport explosive devices."
Once Heschel realized what our cameras had captured he changed his tune and said he was sorry.
"We all make mistakes and when I make a mistake I apologize, and that's basically what I'm saying to you," Heschel said.
Because of his use of lights and sirens, both the MTA and Port Authority Police told CBS 2 they have decided to part ways with Rabbi Heschel.
