...Mumbai Diamond Exchange, the somewhat glorified name for three office towers that have seen better days, is much more orderly than anything in Jaipur. On the ninth floor of the Panchratna tower, dealer Sunil Sethi of SK Exports flicks princess-cut and round-cut diamonds with tweezers without looking up. Every day he sees samples from about 35 brokers, who carry the stones in flat plastic boxes tucked into special cotton undervests...
...million Hillel building’s prime Mt. Auburn Street location and flashy modern design. According to head Rabbi Avi Poupko, Hillel’s mission centers around the ideal of an open university community.Chabad, on the other hand, is relatively new to Harvard, arriving here in 1997. Its somewhat less glass-tacular base of operation—also the home of Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi and his wife, Elkie—is past Mather House (yes, there is a “past Mather”) on Bank Street.

...self-described orthodox Jew living in Thayer, faced a dilemma involving his Shabbat key.

A woman (Brown) rocked back and forth in a rocking...
...Americans, of course, have a somewhat rougher take on the Arab conglomerate's $6.8 billion bid to purchase Britain-based P&O Steam Navigation, which operates in five U.S. ports as well as the Vancouver terminal. Washington's approval of the U.S. takeovers was "reckless, outrageous and irresponsible," Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley said last month. His counterparts in other U.S. cities with prospective Dubai- owned ports have been similarly venomous. And in the U.S. Congress, a bipartisan coalition has vowed to block the deal on the grounds that Dubai has been a way station for terrorists and nuclear smugglers...
