These rabbinical students came to lift fire-scarred Redding’s spirits in a rocking Hanukkah RV
Debra Fischer got some much-needed holiday cheer Thursday where she wasn't expecting to find it. She was traveling to Florence, Oregon, after a recent trip to Paradise and Magalia, where three homes she owned burned down last month in the Camp Fire. She stopped in Redding and was taking her dog for a walk in the parking lot outside the US Bank on Dana Drive when she saw a motorhome decorated with a large menorah taped on one side and a banner proclaiming "Happy Hanukkah!" on another side. "You don't see that every day, right?" said Fischer, who is Jewish. "I thought it was cool. It was actually a blessing for me, as well." Intrigued by the sight, she walked over and met with the five young men in the RV, who after talking with her gave her a small menorah as a gift.

Grisly find follows SWAT raid on New Mexico compound where 16 lived in buried RV, truck
AMALIA, N.M. – Tiny pairs of pants, broken-down bikes with training wheels and discarded children’s shoes haphazardly scattered among the homemade-brick walls and a half-buried RV hint at the tragedy and mystery unfolding in this remote community. Here, down a dirt road scratched through the sagebrush, investigators are trying to piece together why a group of heavily armed Muslims took up residence on property they didn’t own and built a compound from wooden pallets, clear plastic tarps and dirt-filled tires. Investigators also are trying to understand the death of a 3-year-old child, whose body was found buried on the site about four hours south of Denver. And they’re trying to unravel whether the group had sinister plans after one of the children told authorities he was taught how to fire a rifle in preparation for a school shooting. All the while, a property owner who says he repeatedly reported the group to authorities is struggling with the guilt that maybe … [Read more...] about Grisly find follows SWAT raid on New Mexico compound where 16 lived in buried RV, truck
