school year has begun at the Shne-Or Institutions in Aubervilliers marking a special milestone for both the students and their families “It’s incredibly moving to see so many children many of whom are setting foot in a Jewish school for the first time walking hand-in-hand with their proud and joyful parents,” said Rebbetzin Chaya Nisilevitch “These families are embarking on a journey filled with hope and the promise of a meaningful Jewish education.” The Shneor Institutions hold a deep significance within the Paris Jewish community largely due to the work of Rabbi Eliezer Nisilevitch Rebbetzin Nisilevitch’s late husband who served as the Rebbe’s emissary and the head of these institutions spent over 4 decades establishing and nurturing these children and adults with unwavering dedication His life’s work was driven by a profound commitment to saving Jewish children and guiding them toward an education rooted in Torah values and spiritual purity Rebbetzin Chaya Nisilevitch now leads the campaign “Every Jewish Child in a Jewish School,” inspired by her late husband’s mission to ensure that Jewish children receive a sacred and wholesome education hundreds—if not thousands—of children were brought into the fold of Jewish education The campaign continues to resonate strongly with Jewish families as they strive to uphold and strengthen these values for future generations until we reach our ultimate goal Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" miraculously survived a 43-meter fall from his 16th-floor apartment with only a scratch and no fractures in a high-rise apartment complex in Aubervilliers a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with autism was in his room when his father he hurried to check on his son and calm him down but as he tried to enter Enzo’s room and the parents suspect that the boy accidentally locked himself inside which caused him to panic By the time Ji managed to break down the door Enzo’s crying had stopped and the room seemed empty the man horrifyingly realized that he was too late After rushing onto the balcony and seeing Enzo lying motionless on the dirt-covered roof of a ground-level pharmacy, Ji rushed out of the apartment building and climbed the pharmacy building to reach the roof he was stunned to see Enzo move on his own with only a small scratch on his leg to show for his 43-meter fall “Enzo was able to move,” Ji told French newspaper Le Parisien “He was conscious and I didn’t see any external blood He just had a small scratch on his leg.” Enzo’s parents were still worried about internal injuries The boy was admitted to Necker Hospital where he remained under observation for seven days doctors performed a series of tests to ensure that he was really as healthy as he appeared Apart from some minor bleeding in his kidneys and lungs that surgeons swiftly resolved Enzo was dismissed from the hospital and resumed his normal life as if nothing had happened He was even able to go back to nursery school during the last week of June How Enzo was able to not just survive the fall from his family’s 16th-floor apartment but do so with no serious injuries or head trauma Some say it was the dirt-covered roof of the pharmacy that somewhat cushioned his landing but doctors are convinced that it had more to do with his light “They (children) have a more favorable coefficient of elasticity of bones and joints,” Dr Back in 2018, we featured the similar story of a 2-year-old girl in Changzhou, China, who fell from the 17th floor and simply walked it off to her mother’s and doctors’

in your virtual dressing room, and not only In the shadow of the warehouses of Cifa loaded with Chinese ideograms in Aubervilliers a hypothesis formulated by all has just been validated transforming this city famous for its textile wholesalers into an eternal obscure hub of money laundering At the heart of this wholesalers' triangle becomes the place where the threads of a complex web are woven In the sights of justice for over five years have once again laid hands on a criminal network of unexpected scale a similar case had been unveiled within this same center involving a network that allegedly laundered several tens of millions in a year the Paris Criminal Court is preparing to examine in detail the activities of Cifa 21 individuals including Chinese-origin wholesalers find themselves in the dock and will have to answer to charges of organized money laundering and criminal association highlights the complex mechanisms that allegedly transformed Cifa into an illicit financial center The judicial intrigue unveils a sophisticated system linked to the trafficking of cannabis resin imported from Morocco a complex web of international ramifications is emerging channel a "massive flow of cash" to the International Wholesale Trade Center France-Asia Illicit funds are then integrated into the legal textile trade operated by wholesalers The money laundering process involves transforming cash into bank transfers to Asian These transfers are made alongside legitimate commercial activities thus masking the criminal origin of the funds An inventive facet of the modus operandi lies in using laundered money to purchase textiles from Chinese wholesalers These goods are then resold to other wholesalers in Morocco creating a facade of legitimate transactions that allow traffickers to recover clean funds while continuing the laundering process The latter facilitates transactions where funds are converted and routed between Moroccan dirhams and euros associated with production factories in China play a crucial role in this international compensation phase The network exploits loopholes in customs procedures by engaging in import-export frauds Under-declared or undeclared containers allow for the introduction of goods at values much lower than their actual worth Lists of goods on instant messaging platforms are used to coordinate movements while minimizing paper trails the network maintains its high level of complexity by regularly changing managers and corporate structures making it difficult to trace transactions and hold individuals accountable Companies in Cifa thus become dynamic actors appearing and disappearing rapidly to clean accounts and evade investigations But it's not just a story of organized crime and judicial trial

multidisciplinary cultural space that has been built at the foot of a thirty year old apartment black adjacent to a swimming pool and opposite a local theater FCLP architectes (francois chochon & laurent pierre) wanted to create a dialogue between the new and old architecture of the french town housing both the regional conservatory for dance and music (CRR) and the multidisciplinary cultural space (ECT) the firm has realized a building that is based on a very straightforward idea: not to construct something too high so as to not overbear the local theater; or cast a permanent shadow on the roads surrounding the site view of the ECT from rue fermin gémierimage © augusto da silva the ECT is comprised of simple programs: a foyer the latter is surrounded by three levels of galleries which project a warm presence throughout the performance space with the integration of moorings in the construction of the overhead catwalks improving working conditions and increasing flexibility which is further explored through retractable seating that allows for a number of configurations–it has the capacity to accommodate 146 people seated complementing this adaptable layout is the installation of classic curtains along the side and back of the stage that help control acoustic quality with the assistance of reversible panels fitted on split hinges the concrete massing of the ECT is lightened by extensive glazingimage © augusto da silva entrance lobby of the ECTimage © augusto da silva interior of the conservatoryimage © nicolas borel the conservatory has an entrance that allows light to flood into its interior the building regulations are not confined to the 25 meter height maximum applicable to other areas of the site so a vertical development has been realized to accommodate all aspects of the performing arts programs a shard-shaped hallway sits between the two main programs acting as a central hub with the auditorium music and dance classes of the school found off of it the conservatory also sees the installation of a flexible auditorium panels are fitted at the sides and back of the stage to a mobile ceiling that allows operators to adjust the platform to provide intimacy between the audience and the performers view of the central shard-shaped hub between the ECT and CRRimage © nicolas borel the breakdown of the conservatory’s programmes sees teaching facilities situated on the top floors music theory classes are found between the lower and upper spaces close to the administrative areas and offices FCLP have opted for an economic architectural approach that is based on utility as evidenced through the window sizes that have been determined based on the structure’s required levels of insulation the new space not only adds cultural life to aubervillier but also respects the town’s historical presence a rooftop rock garden is open to students for relaxing while special attention has been paid to the fifth façade ensuring that views for the residents of the adjacent residential complex on rue gémier are not spoiled FCLP architectes have designed a structure that is grounded in its context general view of the

Facebook posts claim there’s news about some prominent person that has “shocked all South Africans” But the posts link to scammy websites that have nothing with the celebrities and their “tragic end” or “secret” The various versions of the scam use photos of prominent South Africans with false clickbait headlines suggesting they have met a “tragic end” or have had a “secret” about them revealed – sometimes both Die geheim van die groot leier is uiteindelik geopenbaar!” This translates to: “The news this morning shocked all South Africans The great leader’s secret has finally been revealed.” A variation on this says, in Afrikaans, that Malema has met a “tragic end” Sy geheim is uiteindelik geopenbaar.” (“Shock Yet another version shows cricketer AB de Villiers, suggesting he’s in trouble with the law: “Die tragiese einde van AUberVilliers Vanoggend het die nuus alle Suid-Afrikaners geskok! Aanklagte teen AUberVilliers bevestig!” This translates as: “The tragic end of AUberVilliers This morning the news shocked all South Africans Facebook users have complained about this version, with one posting on a cricket page: “These scammers and Fake News distributors just never Gives up.” the URLs of legitimate South African news sites But when you click on the “Learn More” button Get a weekly dose of facts delivered straight to your inbox All the posts link to e-commerce sites, most of which sell either clothing and accessories or, oddly enough, children’s books Most of the URLs are dodgy and seem unrelated to the products – such as startcapitalstructure.com and startriskdiversificationlearn.com Some of the links are now broken, but several of the suspicious sites are still live. Only one version leads to a legitimate ecommerce site The almost identical wording used in the scam’s different versions is a pretty clear indication that its sensational headlines are false There have been no recent reports that a major “secret” about Malema has “finally been revealed” or that he has met a “tragic end” either would have made front-page headlines Similarly, neither Shuttleworth nor Thusi have had a “tragic end”.

Pavlovsky made sure to create physical separations between the ateliers to maintain each one’s unique style and savoir-faire ‘One should recognise right away whether something is embroidered by Montex the new building gives the artisans opportunities to easily interact Montex’s artistic director Aska Yamashita recounts that Virginie Viard stopped in one day and had lunch with all the ateliers’ artistic directors something that never would have happened before Chanel also encourages the ateliers to continue working for a range of brands both to feed their creativity and maintain their business models Each workshop pays rent and is expected to turn a profit their rare ancestral skills being passed on to new generations Recruitment was an issue about 20 years ago when the métiers d’art were considered fallback professions for those who flunked out of school Many of the artisans are under 30 and as comfortable embroidering on antique Cornely machines as manipulating a 3D printer ‘If this building is insular and unengaged it will be very difficult to maintain a positive energy,’ says Pavlovsky ‘Keeping these métiers d’art connected to the world of today is the best guarantee they will still exist tomorrow.’ In Aubervilliers, in Seine-Saint-Denis, go to Kingooroo, the indoor playground for children and adults.

Sparked by the death of two young boys hiding from police in Clichy-sous-Bois, the protests quickly spread across neighboring towns. France declared a state of national emergency as fires raged and public buildings and businesses were defaced during the weeks-long riots The rioters were largely French-born young Muslims generally the children of North African immigrants who face bleak job prospects and feel alienated from French society Christened an “intifada” by some the riots gave succor to France’s far-right National Front party declared they vindicated his long-standing anti-immigration and anti-Muslim statements a series of terrorist attacks — most notably the mass killing of concert-goers at the Bataclan theatre in Paris in November 2015 that marked the worst attack on French soil since World War II — has strained relations between France’s Muslim community and wider French society further The only beneficiary has been the country’s far-right party which has capitalized on fear and mistrust National Front leader Marine Le Pen, daughter of Jean-Marie and currently on trial on charges of hate speech for comparing Muslims praying in the streets to the Nazi occupation of France is expected to come in first or second in the first round of the French elections scheduled in April Le Pen even has a chance of following in the tycoon’s footsteps and clinching the presidency One would think that the country’s five million Muslims would be unanimous in opposing her; but to many residents of the banlieues Le Pen is simply another politician — no better or worse than any other candidate Three young men lean against a railing at the road corner Let’s vote for Le Pen and see what happens For citizens of France who live as outsiders the system is beyond repair — so why not Le Pen He was unconcerned by the Le Pen family’s polemical comments about people like him Le Pen may not be “pro-Muslim” but “she won’t be able to do anything,” he says “When it’s Ramadan [the annual Muslim month of fasting that commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad] the French economy slows And you can see it: during that month the streets are empty.” Despite the terror attacks and the National Front’s resurgence life has not become harder for Muslims over the past few years we have no problems — the Christians are our brothers.” He pauses “With the Jews … things are little more complicated.” What’s clear is the French state is against Muslims including a European plot to create a “new Eldorado with Israel as its capital.” It’s almost prayer time at the mosque around the corner A sign announcing its opening and closing hours is written in both French and Arabic A man in his mid-thirties leaves the building as I arrive Samba is a delivery driver from the Ivory Coast and he wears a black puffy jacket and a beanie hat He has been in France since the early 2000s she won’t be able to do anything too bad.” “People just don’t understand Islam,” he adds Islam is so simple and we have many intellectuals who can explain it properly Real Muslims must speak on behalf of Muslims.” Samba is equally strident about debunking the type of conspiracy theories that are common among young men in Aubervilliers the enforced secularism that lies at the heart of French government “It just has to be implemented equally; right now it singles out Islam a lot,” he said The prevailing consensus of ambivalence — and even guarded optimism — toward the National Front among the community its leader most openly despises would shock most pollsters I don’t defend Islam and all Muslim people on principle,” he says But the problem is people see that and say it’s all Muslims.” The neighboring banlieue of Pantin is a short walk away It’s one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe and also boasts a high Muslim population A flag advocating “solidarité” with Palestine hangs from a balcony above a kebab shop Advertising at a bus stop urges residents to vote in the upcoming presidential elections: “The right to vote: a superpower,” it reads a man in his late sixties with a thinning grey beard Le Pen’s political platform does not appear to elicit great concern from him either “And that is that 30 percent of French people agree with her As long as she remains within the limits of the law Most people on the left secretly agree with her has become harder for French Muslims in recent years “Islam is now blamed for all that is wrong,” he says “Many of the people who carry out these atrocities are not real Muslims and that just means that I follow the teachings of the Prophet It’s like being Christian and being a Jesuit.” Aubervilliers burned in 2005 during mass demonstrations among banlieue residents against the French state | Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images “Many of these things should be about personal choice,” he adds “If a 15-year old girl wants to wear a miniskirt So why can’t a 15-year old girl wear a hijab And politicians won’t change anything anyway.” It is perhaps not surprising the banlieues contain a wide range of European Islam Some young French-born Muslims disaffected with life in France are most receptive to misleading information they find on the internet; others less political understanding of their faith But the prevailing consensus of ambivalence — and even guarded optimism — toward the National Front among the community its leader most openly despises would shock most pollsters voters are electing populists to “drain the swamp” and punish the “elites.” In the Parisian banlieues the prevailing attitude is that it hardly matters which politician is elected because they’re convinced it won’t make any difference to their lives David Patrikarakos is a contributing writer at POLITICO Tensions over the nuclear issue are all but certain to restart the conflict New Democracy government has pledged to boost entrepreneurs and make business easy The next prime minister might be a centrist Foreign minister’s resignation offer is bad news for those hoping for stability in an ever more chaotic region Rabbi Sholom Mendel Kalmenson, one of the first Shluchim and founder of the Jewish community and school in Aubervilliers, France, passed away.
