Boxer/Rabbi?

Yuri Foreman, professional Israeli middleweight boxer, was the chosen one in Saturday's boxing match against Daniel Santos. He now holds the title as the World Boxing Association's 154-pound champion.

And he's taking rabbinical classes at the IYYUN Institute in Gowanus. Yes, Yuri Foreman is going to be the rabbi with the meanest left-hook around. He will literally beat the Old Testament into the mutilated pulp that used to be your head until you're begging your plastic surgeon to forgo the rhinoplasty and instead permanently attach a kippah to your scalp.

Well, as a man of religion, maybe he'll be a little nicer than that. But he's still going to be the most badass rabbi Brooklyn has ever seen.

The daily [mis]haps

Watch those purses and pockets (and eyeglasses apparently) because this past week several intriguing duos have been robbing shops throughout Park Slope. 

1. The first occurred in a shoe store, in which two women teamed up to steal an employee's purse.

2. The second, a tax return service. (The clearly unintelligent perp stole a smartphone and was followed by police until he finally caught on and turned it off.)

3. As for the third, who would think to hold up at Eyeglass store? Three men held up Cohen's Fashion Optical, announcing a stickup and stealing seventy pairs of eyeglasses.
