Earlier tonight a car crashed into a side entrance at Chabad HQ at 770 Eastern Parkway, the building encompasses one of the most important synagogues in the world. From video and witness accounts it seems to have been intentional. There are no injuries, thank G-d.
Hasidic rabbis attended the annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries and gathered in prayer Friday in the Queens borough of New York City at the resting place of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He was known as "the Rebbe" and was one of Judaism's most influential figures of the 20th century.
