    Shomrim a volunteer civilian safety patrols are true stewards of their community, serving as vigilant eyes and ears for the residents and working in conjunction with NYPD to promote a secure neighborhood environment, the senator said.

    Also speaking were NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind and NYC Comptroller, Bill Thopson.

    Awards were presented to the coordinators of Williamsburg Shomrim and for the coordinators of Williamsburg Hatzolah.

    I have known Mr. Abe Friedman for the past 5 years and he is a real MENSCH!! The Jewish community should be proud to have him as a liason of the NYPD and NYSP. He has come to the aid of many people 24/7, 365 days. Senator Eric Adams is lucky to have Abe on his staff. Congratulations again my friend!!

    You are wrong
    Although there is no organization since WWII like hatzolah from my point of view (before that I don’t know) if you are going to honor organizations, yes! you honor all of them! the bottom line, no matter which direction or way you want to put it, they are all tzadikim giving away from their own time to help a fellow yid in
    need according to that particular situation not like you & me sitting on computer & chatting, although we hope & pray that we never need each of those services we must face reality & “all pi derech ha’teve” we will need it   least once in our life time.

    “How about Chaveirim?? Why weren’t they honored?

    Because the day they’ll honor Chaveirim, you’ll ask why they don’t honor Misaskim or Mikimi or RCCS or Chai Lifeline or Chesed or the 1000 other orginizations out there.
