When two people rushed into the Jersey City kosher grocery store and opened fire, Dovid Lax ran from the barrage of bullets and hid under the salad bar before somehow bolting out the door. He and one other person, Chaim Deutsch, are the only people who made it out alive.

Elephants Arrive and Help Themselves For Breakfast
Astonishing footage has captured the moment a family of elephants invaded a hotel breakfast buffet as terrified tourists watched on.
The clip, filmed in an open-air dining room in Zambia, shows an elephant investigating a table piled with cups of tea and coffee at the back of the room.
Another soon joins its companion under the thatched shelter, with a young calf running behind the pair.
One of the giant animals reaches across the group of frightened American tourists with its trunk to hoover up toast and jam from their plates.
It knocks over cups of coffee in the process, as the young elephant also approaches the table and searches the surface for food.
The three elephants then move around the table, and the tourists sit bolt upright and extremely still in apparent fear of drawing attention to themselves.
But the animals pay them little notice, instead focusing their efforts on the bread baskets sitting in front of them.

A Facility Manager's Journey At OBJA
Register TODAY, Don't DELAY
“It Was Really Worth It!”: Why One Hotel Manager is Looking Forward to the Expo
What can a hotel facility manager gain from attending OJBA’s Interstate Expo? That was the question Ari Friedman asked himself when Meilech Weber, CEO of OJBA, encouraged him to attend last year’s show. Friedman wondered what he would do there. Wasn’t the Expo for people who worked in the construction industry?
Yet, as the facility manager of the Crowne Plaza in Stamford, CT, Friedman is responsible for maintaining the hotel’s hundreds of thousands of square feet. That means lighting, elevators, heating and A/C, carpeting, furniture and, and, and…
So yes, he did have plenty to do with the construction industry. He decided to go; and he’s still reaping the dividends today.

Thousands Pack the Streets for Funeral Jersey City Victims
Thousands flooded the streets Wednesday night to mourn two of the victims killed after two assailants opened fire at a kosher market in Jersey City.
In Jersey City, crowds of men in black hats surrounded the casket of Mindy Ferencz in the Jersey City neighborhood of Greenville at the site of a synagogue under construction. Hundreds of women, separated from the men as per Orthodox Jewish tradition, were standing in the bitter cold sobbing.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people gathered outside the Satmar Shul orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn to mourn 24-year-old Moshe Deutsch.
As the funeral for Ferencz and Deutsch took place, investigators were still trying to determine what motivated the pair of shooters, who were also killed, to carry out Tuesday's attack.
One of the assailants of the deadly attack in Jersey City market has been linked to the Black Hebrew Israelites movement, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The shooter, David N. Anderson, appears to have a connection to the movement but the extent of his involvement in that group is unclear,
The Black Hebrew Israelite movement is best known for its confrontational brand of street preaching in urban areas but it has a complex history in the United States, with sects and branches splintering over theological and leadership disputes. Scholars say what unites most Black Israelites is the belief that African Americans are the true descendants of biblical Jews.
Some members have expressed anti-Semitic sentiments in the past.

Jersey City's Mayor Says Gunmen Targeted Kosher Market
The mayor of Jersey City said Wednesday it's clear that the gunmen in a furious shooting that left six people dead targeted a Jewish market.
Mayor Steven Fulop refused to call it an anti-Semitic attack but said surveillance video shows the gunmen driving slowly through the city's streets, and then stopping outside a kosher grocery store where they calmly got out of their van and immediately opened fire.
Neither the state attorney general, who is running the investigation, nor any other law enforcement authority has confirmed the shooters targeted Jews. City Public Safety Director James Shea said Tuesday that terrorism wasn't suspected.
A police officer, three bystanders and two suspects all died in the violence Tuesday afternoon in Jersey City, just across the Hudson River from New York City.
Names of the Jewish Victims
Mrs Leah Mindel Ferencz HY”D, 33-years-old,
Moshe Hersh Deutsch HY”D. 24-years-old, He lived in Williamsburg

Man Arrested After Anti-Semitic Rant
A Queens man is under arrest for an apparent anti-Semitic incident that took place at the Five Towns Costco.
Nassau County Police said Justin Pichizaca, 20, threatened two men and an 11-year-old with violence and yelled slurs at them based on their religion.
Pichizaca had nothing to say as Nassau County Police escorted him from headquarters Tuesday, but police said he had plenty to say Sunday inside the Costco on Rockaway Turnpike in North Lawrence. He was caught on video threatening physical violence. The victims were shaken to the core and posted the video on social media.
Avrumi Fridman said he was in the men’s room at Costco when Pichizaca yelled “[expletive] Jew, the Nazis are gonna finish you off” at him.

Coming Up: Interstate Expo 3.0 Wed, Dec 18, 2019
Building businesses, one handshake at a time.
Interstate Expo is an annual event produced by OJBA with the goal of creating growth opportunities for professionals in the construction, management & real estate industries based in New York City, Brooklyn, and the surrounding areas.
Each year, exhibitors and attendees take advantage of this powerful networking platform to meet with new contacts, greet existing clients and discover the latest industry trends as they browse an expansive show floor featuring over 300 booths.
Additionally, industry-specific educational seminars scheduled throughout the event provide attendees with valuable tips, tools, and insights into developing their business.
Our Stories
As a former general contractor, OJBA founder Mike Weber would often attend industry trade shows in the NY area. Over the years, he came to realize what an invaluable resource a trade show could be for a business, and what a tremendous impact it could have.
In 2012, he formally established OJBA. His first organized show, a regional event for Catskill builders and developers, featured just 30 booths. That was four years ago.
Today OJBA runs several annual events, including the Cidywide Expo, Interstate Expo, Catskills Expo, OJBA WE, a Lakewood Expo in the works, and with G-d’s help, more on the horizon.
