Residents of Borough Park, where most of today’s search took place, observed the unparalleled display of achdus as volunteers from areas including Brooklyn, Queens, Monsey, Lakewood, Kiryas Joel, the Catskills and Baltimore joined together to do their part and as endless supplies of donated food, water and other supplies were distributed to the volunteers.

Harav fishel hershkowitz shlit”a said everyone 2 say kapitel “keif-zein” for the lost boy.Pls. FWD! to as many ppl.
In the merit of this amazing turnout alone, We should all hear good news very soon.
I like the Canon G-series (or, S-series) high-contrast coloring in some of the photos.
Perhaps it is just me, but I cannot help but be struck by the incongruity of sushi platters amidst the search for a missing child….I know there’s nothing wrong with it, and it is wonderful that such quantities and qualities of food are being donated for the cause….but it is still rather striking.
Nice work Fishy Vail!
Free food sampling. Looks like a street party.
Many people say that the “tikun” of having food and drink really comes from the fact that, originally, the guy would arrange a group of people to learn, and would provide food for them, so it’s really the learning itself that’s the zechus. So besides tehillim maybe we should dedicate our learning to the boy’s hatzolo.
My intuition is that he is not far from everyone searching for him, held in some apt by that man, who will need to surface for food and drinks soon. More cameras are needed. Please let my thoughts be wrong.
I am not saying that there isnt an all out serious effort to locate the missing boy, but in all these pictures; picture after picture all I can see is people eating,drinking and just having a good time and in some, people standing around shmoozing alongside cops. To me at least these pictures are very misleading.
