סיפור מרגש כל הכבוד לחבד לונג ביטש

Same thing happened to me
February 18, 2021 12:23 pm

Was double parked in Boro Park and a policewoman came ove and told me to please move my car. Looked at her badge “Stein”. looked at her face. Looked at the gold horse charm on her necklace
and then said
“Sherry Stein! are you going to give me a ticket!?”
Sherry loved horses. Evidently still does.:)
Sherry, my classmate, went to Bais Rivkah elementary school on Church Avenue.
She looked at me and said,”Estah?!!” (that’s Brooklynese for Esther 🙂
Obviously no ticket was issued, and we had a brief but warm encounter.

I hope you no longer double park.

That's your takeaway?

First of all, Esther was obviously sitting in her car when Officer Stein came over. So it wasn’t double parking; at most it was double standing or double stopping.

Second, do you have a better alternative? Parking in Boro Park (and in most of NYC in general) is scarce. Should someone going to a store, especially when they may be coming out with a big item or a full shopping cart, have to park blocks away and have to shlep all that stuff all that way?

Such an awesome reunion of 2 old Schoolfriends, whom I remember with fondness from both teaching at the Hebrew Academy & knowing from living in Long Beach, CA.
This is definitely Jewish Geneology❣️

By Yosef HaTzadik, he recognized them but they didn’t recognize him (because of his beard). Here, it was veNahapoch hoo, so he had to check their driver’s licenses.

I wonder if the police officer remembered that Rabbi Greenwald pulled over his parents in the parking lot and gave them the Avrohom Fried album or a cake.
A proud Hebrew Academy parent and Rabbi Greenwald fan.
