- Ten years later, we look back at the 9/11 terror attacks and ask what we have learned as Jews, as Americans and as people. We have a new entire section on our site dedicated to the tenth anniversary at www.chabaduptown.org/9-11.
- The Chabad of Uptown community extends its sincere condolence to our dear Aggie, Robert Epstein upon the passing of his wife, Carolyn. May we only share simchos. Hamakom yenachem etchem b'toch she'ar aveilei tzion v'yerushalayim. May Hashem bring comfort to the entire Epstein family among the mourners of Zion & Jerusalem.
