I do not usually report the news
here but rather comment on it. But I am making an exception in this
case because the news is very good.

year old Issac Hersh has been rescued from his ‘imprisonment’ and
torture at Tranquility Bay. He arrived in New York this morning at
7:00 AM EDT. Thank God his ordeal is over. Rabbis Shmuel Kaminetsky
and Dovid Feinstein deserve tremendous thanks for their efforts in
securing his release. For more details - see
