Jewish-related news not easily found elsewhere, as well as upcoming events. A 17 year old, White Plains, NY teen was the cause of a recent US Airways Express Flight 'terroism' fright. The religious youth had not yet done his morning prayers with tefillin. So he attempted to do so, while the plane was in flight. However, crew feared that he was attempting to set a bomb in motion. The plane landed prematurely. But, matters were fairly quickly resolved. One rabbi felt that Jews should be sensitive to the current state of affairs and not attempt to use tefillin on flights. Another rabbi bemoaned the fact that more people do not recognize tefillin and it's importance in many Jews' daily lives. - If you wish to share your thoughts regarding this, please send us an email at: thoughtsplus@JewsOnTheWeb.com The Chabad-Lubavitch arranged for the 1st Yom Kippur services to be held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
