The Neck
By Tzvi Freeman
Between the head and the heart lies a narrow passage called the neck.
This is to our advantage, so that when the heart rushes in frenzy over its desires and its fears,
the head can still observe from its perch above the rapids and direct the heart back on course.
It is also to our disadvantage, because the head must speak
very loud and clear to make itself heard to the heart so far below.
From the wisdom of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory

In 1944, Jewish day schools in America got a major boost when Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz
founded Torah Umesorah, the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools.
Of the estimated 850,000 Jewish school-age children in America,
about 200,000 are presently enrolled in some 900 Jewish day schools
-- more than triple since the 1960s.

TV CONVERTER BOXES:
On June 12, all television signals in the United States will change over from analog to digital.
Although this transition offers great benefits to the nation, we still must be ready for the change.
This Friday, any analog television receiving free, over-the-air broadcasts and not connected to a
digital converter box, will stop receiving signals. When this happens, these TVs will essentially “go dark”
and stop receiving signals. The owners of these televisions will be unable to watch their favorite programs.

BEAR SIGHTINGS
There have been several bear sightings in the area over the last few weeks.
Several of the sightings were of a mother with three cubs. Please do not
leave any type of food items out at night that might attract the bears. It
would probably be a good idea to not keep filled birdfeeders out until these
bears make their way back North into the mountains. If it's not too
inconvenient, try not to put trash out until the morning of your pickup.
In general, bears will try not to interact with people, and will run away
when they hear noises or see lights. However, a mother bear will not be
scared off easily especially if she is protecting her cubs. Obviously, you
should not try to approach any bears that you see.
You can call the Ramapo PD (357-2400) if you see them. In most cases the
bears will have left before they get there, but if not, they will try to get
the bears to move on.
Thank you,
David Goldsmith

Holocaust Museum attacked by gunman.
WASHINGTON - A gunman who opened fire at the Holocaust museum here Wednesday
was an 88-year-old man with links to the white supremacist movement, U.S.
media reported.
was an 88-year-old man with links to the white supremacist movement, U.S.
media reported.
Fox News, NBC and CNN all said the gunman had been identified as James von
Brunn, a Maryland resident, who has long been tied to hate groups and
anti-government organizations and served a prison sentence for taking a gun
into the Federal Reserve.
The gunman and security guard were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds,
a police spokesman said. A third person was slightly wounded, possibly by
breaking glass, but did not need further treatment.
While the motive for the shooting remained unclear, Fox and NBC television
reported that its correspondents had been told the gunman was 89 years old
and may have links to a white supremacist organization.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Supervisor St. lawrence gets approval of four-way
Left-turn arrows at Viola Road intersection
The Supervisor of the Town of Ramapo, Christopher P. St. Lawrence, has
announced that the New York State Department of Transportation will be
upgrading to a left-turn arrow phase from all four directions on the traffic
signal at the intersection of Viola Road and Route 306 in Monsey.
Presently, there are left-turn arrows at the intersection from three of the
four directions. Motorists driving east on Viola Road are often subjected to
lengthy delays due to their having to wait for an opportunity to turn left
to travel north onto Route 306. In addition, the heavily trafficked
intersection exposes motorists to a potentially dangerous situation.
At the request of Supervisor St. Lawrence, a study of the intersection was
conducted to determine if the change was warranted. The Department of
Transportation concurred with the Supervisor and agreed to initiate the
change in signaling to include the left-turn phase from all four directions
³I am delighted that the New York State Department of Transportation agreed
to the signal change², stated Supervisor St. Lawrence. ³The modification to
the signal will greatly impact upon and enhance driver safety. I commend the
Department of Transportation for understanding the needs of the community
and for providing this safety improvement.² He continued.
The date for the signal modification has not been scheduled but it should
take place within the coming weeks.

Yahrtzeit of Kalonymus Z. Wissotzky, a famous Russian Jewish philanthropist who passed away in 1904. Wissotzky once owned the tea concession for the Czar's entire military operation. Since the Czar's soldiers numbered in the millions and tea drinking was a daily Russian custom, this concession made Wissotzky very rich. Wissotzky started a small tea company in Israel. After his death, the tea company passed to his heirs. Then in 1917, the communists swept to power in Russia, seizing all of the Wissotzky company's assets. The only business left in their possession was the small tea company in Israel. The family fled Russia, built the Israeli business, and today Wissotzky is a leading brand of tea in Israel, with exports to countries worldwide -- including Russia.
