The Kew Gardens Hills community came out in a strong display of appreciation to the police officers of the 107th police precinct. Both the daytime and evening shifts, over 170 members of the local police force, were treated to meals provided by the New Pizza Professor. Jennifer Martin, President of the Kew Gardens Hills Civic Association (KGHCA), and Alan Sherman co-coordinated the event. Sherman noted, "It was quite easy to put together the funds for the event. Our community was eager to donate and show their support of the NYPD, which serves and protects their families." Deputy Inspector Scott Henry was moved by the care shown to his officers. "It is wonderful to know that we have the community's backing each time to head outside." Yaakov Serle, co-publisher of the Queens Jewish Link, explained to the officers, "We really appreciate your efforts; the job you do is very special."

Have you ever felt inspired to burst into an impromptu song after a particularly moving experience? Participants in Emet’s Men’s Summer Retreat did just that. No, it wasn’t a traditional tune but an original rap song. Imagine a rhythmic beat, and this preamble: “Guys, summer retreat was amazing. I love you Emet. From the bottom of my heart, I’m going to sing this rap for you...” The song continued: “I reunited with the men. After four months of Corona. I’m trying to come back, learn Torah. All day, any day, overnight. It’s in my mind… Emet Summer Retreat... I love it.”
