ROCKAWAY TWP. —All day on Sunday, Rabbi Asher Herson could not appear to sit still for even a moment.

The 42-year-old rabbi of the Chabad Center of Northwest New Jersey held hands with young children and danced around in circles to Jewish music. He shook hands with other men who gathered with him. He poured them drinks. He made his way through the crowd, stopping to say hello along the way to nearly everyone he saw.

"He's very dynamic. He's in constant motion,"said Alan Bader, a Rockaway Township resident and synagogue member. CONTINUE
