I wanted to reach out to the community through the Queens Jewish Link this week for a few reasons that small businesses are incorporating. First and foremost, I want to offer my best wishes to everyone affected by COVID-19. To those working in the healthcare industry: Thank you so much for all you do. You are true modern-day heroes. The sacrifices we are all making right now are the best way to protect those we care about. This will eventually pass. In the meantime, please stay safe and keep doing your part to keep others safe as well.

Dr. Eli Landau a”h was a beloved long-time resident of Kew Gardens Hills with a valued dental practice visited by locals. Dr. Landau was a fine professional man with noteworthy mannerisms. In his soft-spoken way, he would often greet passerby with his signature smile and ask of their wellbeing. Dr. Landau was a quiet, humble, private individual who shied away from making a big deal about happenings. Many have noted that over the years he would open his office for emergency appointments, always available to help the community he held so dear. He frequented Bais Yosef D’Ulem and had a connection with various neighborhood rabbonim.
