• Woman appears to flash kitchen knife at juveniles inside Brookline restaurant (wcvb.com) — Brookline police are asking for help identifying a woman who allegedly displayed a large kitchen knife to a group of juveniles inside the Taco Bell on Harvard Street last week. Surveillance video shows the youths backing away as she reaches into her bag before leaving toward Coolidge Corner. Anyone who recognizes the older woman, described as limping and wearing a patterned dress, is urged to contact detectives.
   

• Cozy Breakfast Nooks: Elegant Design & Functional Storage (modernluxury.com) — A Brookline brick colonial just got a thoughtfully redesigned kitchen nook that blends extra storage with a cozy, European-inspired breakfast spot. Designer Shannon Tate reworked an uncomfortable dining corner into a custom banquette that feels original to the home's age and character. The result is a sunny, durable space the homeowners now favor for morning coffee and skyline views.
   

• How new Jews are celebrating their first High Holidays (jewishjournal.org) — Several new Jews in Greater Boston, including one who converted through Brookline's Congregation Mishkan Tefila, are preparing to celebrate their first High Holidays as official members of the community. They describe long spiritual journeys, courses, and mikveh immersions that deepened both learning and identity. Local rabbis, including Brookline's Rabbi David Starr, say these conversions strengthen Jewish life and highlight the holidays' focus on reflection and renewal.
