“Their selfless dedication to the community is the reason Mr. Lee is still with us today – and the reason we honor them tonight for their extraordinary valor.”
bigwheel…That is true..
anon. 7:58AM …His bravery was honored here. Let’s not forget that. Just because he is not wearing it (the Kippah) doesn’t diminish this great honor bestowed uopn him…! …No. It doesn’t. But when you “Represent” the Frum Community (in a way), then the Symbols (of that Community should be there, as they were on MR. Rosenberg!!!
Who is this Abraham Lenorovitz?
Is he from KJ?
One of them was wearing his Kippah, the other was not. His bravery is what was honored here, lets not forget that. Just because he is not wearing it shouldn’t diminish this great honor bestowed upon him.
Rosenbergs Kapel can be seen!

work to revive him.
