This past summer, the Queens community was introduced to the New York Police Department Shomrim Society for the launch of their Safe Shabbat program at Hashevaynu in Kew Gardens Hills. On Thursday, March 24, members of the group hosted their highly anticipated Annual Dinner Dance and Installation of Officers. As we reconnect with friends and loved ones after over two years without large public gatherings, newly elected President Philip Weisbord greeted event goers with great pride. NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey commended the NYPD Shomrim Society for their efforts in support of their Jewish membership and the city as a whole. Chief Chaplain and NYPD Shomrim Society Spiritual Director Dr. Rabbi Alvin Kass led the prayer over the event and broke bread with special guest NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The newly elected board members were honored by Mayor Adams, who administered their oath of office, and spoke passionately about fighting crime on behalf of all NYC residents.
