Jon Voight visits Israel, stops at the Chabad Village Before he headed back to the United States after his first-ever trip to the Holy Land, American actor Jon Voight stopped in the central Israeli village of Kfar Chabad to meet with beneficiaries of Chabad's Children of Chernobyl program. According to officials with the Chabad-Lubavitch Youth Organization in Israel, the high-profile visit by the Academy Award winner - who sat down with the children, played games with them and discussed their experiences - brought smiles to the Chernobyl natives, who were rescued from the radiation plaguing that region of their native Ukraine Jewish Tombstones Vandalized in Central Russian City of Nizhny Novgorod

Girls Raise Funds to Help Out a Bride and Groom
In many Jewish communities, young couples who need help with their wedding expenses can rely in part on one of several aid organizations, but in Cedarhurst, N.Y., a group of 25 elementary schoolchildren decided to personally help a bride and groom have the wedding of their dreams. The girls of the Chai Five youth group run by Chabad-Lubavitch of the Five Towns held a charity box drive and fundraiser. "What started out as a nice gesture to minimally partake in the enormous expenses of making a wedding resulted in Chai Five collecting enough to cover basic, yet major, costs," Chani Rubashkin, one of the coordinators of the group, told the Five Towns Jewish Times. .

| | Oy Vey! Mezuzahs
A wealthy Jewish man buys a fabulous home in Beverly Hills, California. He brings in a local workman to decorate the place.
When the job is finished, the homeowner is delighted but realizes that he's forgotten to put mezuzahs on the doors.
He goes out and buys 50 mezuzahs and asks the decorator to place them on the right hand side of each door except for the bathrooms.
He's really worried that the decorator will chip the paint work or won't put them up correctly.
However, when he comes back a few hours later, he sees that the job has been carried out to his entire satisfaction.
He's so pleased that he gives the decorator a bonus. As the decorator is walking out of the door he says, "Glad you're happy with the job..." "By the way, I took out the warranties in each one and left them on the table for you!"
