Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager, the admor (rabbinic leader ) of Vizhnitz and head of Agudath Israel’s Council of Torah Sages, died Tuesday night at the age of 95 after a lengthy battle with various illnesses. He was laid to rest in Bnei Brak after 40 years at the sect’s helm. Tens of thousands of people attended the funeral of the long-time leader of the Vizhnitz Hasidim, whose death is likely to set off a split in Israel’s second-largest Hasidic sect.
Observant Jewish residents of towering hotels and apartment buildings feel that waiting for the automatic Shabbat elevator is like awaiting the Messiah, there will soon be a solution.

The system is patent pending in both the US and Israel. Approved by rabbis for Shabbat use, the affordable wireless device is being manufactured in China.
Vandals have desecrated a Jewish cemetery in Poland, spraying anti-Semitic slogans on tombstones and memorial plaques. The vandals also wrote “This is Poland, not Israel” on one sign at the Jewish cemetery in Wysokie Mazowieckie, a town in eastern Poland, according to the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland. Police are now investigating the attack, which occurred Sunday night. The cemetery, which was restored six years ago, is not fully fenced in and it was the first time vandals attacked it, said Michael Traison, an American lawyer who has raised funds to restore the cemetery.

Any press is good press and in the case of Deborah Feldman it couldn’t be more truthful. Ever since her book, Unorthodox, hit the stores there has been a heated debate among the very community that she seeks to distance herself from and until now, no one has done any research into why and how the hateful campaign against a memoir started.

In former times, wealthy people who had large houses also had many servants who did their every bidding, while poor people, who could not afford servants, lived in small homes with one or two rooms. Understandably, the pre-Pessach chores of the rich were performed by the servants, while the poor, who had only their one or two rooms to clean, a few pieces of furniture, a minimum of utensils, and some clothing, took care of their needs themselves.
