New From Feldheim: Prayer Works
Our Prayers... They are not just hopes and wishes cast up to heaven.
They are one of the key mechanisms by which Hashem’s creation functions.
And like any mechanism, our prayers operate according to a set of
inviolable principles — the actual “physics” of the spiritual world.
Prayer Works is a fascinating exploration of the inner “works” of the mechanism of prayer, and of how the Shemoneh Esrei, the heart of Jewish prayer, “works” flawlessly to bring our world to perfection. The reader will emerge from this journey with a deep understanding of the vast spiritual forces invested in the words of Shemoneh Esrei, and a reinvigorated desire to open his or her life to the transformative power of heart-felt prayer.

Police Arrest Jewish Man Erev Rosh Hashana
CrownHeights.info - It was a Rosh Hashana from hell for one Jew after he spent its first
hours in the custody of the NYPD following a stupid altercation.
Disturbing video footage, captured by an equally disturbed reader with a
cell phone camera, shows a large number police officers manhandling the
Jew who was trying to defend himself, constantly asking why he was
being arrested.
The incident began unfolding within the eighteen minutes after Rosh Hashana had already begun near the intersection of Albany Avenue and Montgomery Street. Police officers pulled over a Jewish motorist who was in a hurry to get home just as the holiday was starting.
Passerbys called out to the cops to let the motorist go, saying that the holiday was starting. The impassive officers responded that “he broke the law and we will not let him go.” One bystander got vocal and police fixated on him.
First he was knocked to the ground by officers who immediately called for backup. Close to thirty officers responded and after wrestling back and forth the man was placed in cuffs and dragged into a waiting police car.
As he was being put into the cruiser the man was heard pleading with officers to let him go to Shul, and that it was his father’s Yohrtzeit, all of which fell on deaf ears.
CrownHeights.info was unable to find out what the man was charged with, nor when he was released.
