Police are warning Lakwood residents of a possible ring of robbers operating in the area.
Fifteen homes were burglarized in the Regent/ Hollywood neighborhood last Friday night, police say. The previous Friday night, homes by Glen Avenue were targeted.
The police shared that the group targets a different neighborhood every Friday night. The thieves mostly enter through unlocked windows and search for for cash, wallets and jewelry on the first floor of occupied homes.
The police suspect that the group is aware that many surveillance cameras are off on Shabbos and that people usually don’t call the police on Shabbos.
Please be careful to lock all windows Friday night and every night.

As is well known, there is a minhag to make shlissel challah for the Shabbos after Pesach. Shlissel challahs are best known as a segulah for parnassah, although there are other several reasons for baking a challah with a key in it. However, some have raised health concerns regarding this minhag. Keys have been found to leave behind unsafe amounts of lead, leading some to suggest that the practice of placing keys in challahs in making shlissel challah may present a danger.

The New York Times severed its relationship this week with CartoonArts International after the paper published an anti-Semitic cartoon in last Thursday’s international print edition.
But Andrea Levin, executive director of the media watchdog organization CAMERA, said she fears the paper may be jettisoning CartoonArts to distract attention from the Times’s “well documented pattern of bias” against Jews and Israel.
“The onus is really on The New York Times to do something about the institutional culture that made it possible to publish rank anti-Semitism,” Levin said.
