As a frequent-flyer shochet to far-flung places, Rabbi Yechiel Shmuel Fried learned to never underestimate the capacity of a Jewish heart
There are two things that make me the writer and storyteller I am. That I traveled maybe ten times as much as the average person. And that my eyes were open.
I inherited a curiosity of spirit from my father. He gave it to me, and he honed it. Open eyes, open ears he was an opportunist and an idealist if there ever was one. When I was five years old, he’d take me two hours on the bus so we could hear a Selichos by a certain chassidic court, a Maariv one night of Chanukah there. He’d hold my hand in the great split-second stillness after the Rebbe’s brachah, before the rumbling “amen” of the crowd. “Do you hear? Do you get it?” he asked me. Sixty-five years later, I remember the way my heart beat faster, how my voice joined and carried with a thousand others.

The Kwantlen Student Association Student Rights Centre advocates for students at KPU and helps them understand their rights through a non-judgemental and confidential support system.
This includes helping with things like appealing plagiarism claims and grade appeals, and submitting complaints to the university.
The pandemic and the switch to online learning have impacted the way students and instructors interact. Prior to the pandemic, if students were having trouble in class or some type of conflict with their instructors, they could walk into the Student Rights Centre office to see what their options were, and if they should submit a formal complaint.

As the weather warms up, local summer camps and organizations are preparing for the return of kids, albeit with reduced numbers due to COVID-19.
Camp Onyahsa is ready to return to some level of normalcy this summer. Last year, the camp was forced to cancel its overnight activities, which Director Jon O’Brian believes was the right call by Gov. Andrew Cuomo given the aggregate lifestyle that summer camp espouses.
