Road Work

A 100-foot section of North Road in Chilmark will be under construction beginning at 8 a.m. tomorrow, leaving only one lane open to traffic.

The roadwork is expected to take about three hours to complete, and motorists should expect some delays. The section in need of repair is located across from Carroll Lane.

Jewish Heritage

Two rabbinical students arrive on Island today as part of the Chabad-Lubavitch Summer Peace Corps, as the summer project of this Hasidic movement in Orthodox Judaism is generally known.

Hauling suitcases of videos, brochures, books, Shabbat candles, mezuzahs (a religious scroll placed on doorways) and kosher food, Yishai Eliefja and Yitzchok Kravitsky will be teaching classes and visiting Jewish residents door to door, reaching out to help Jews rediscover their heritage.
