In light of the negativity surrounding police forces throughout the country, a local Rabbi was determined to show support and appreciation of Lakewood�s police officers.
In a show of solidarity and support, Rabbi Lefkowitz, Rav of Kollel Bnei Torah, and his family, brought homemade treats to the Lakewood Police Department.
�The officers were visibly moved by this gesture as it was refreshing to see community leaders come out to support them,� a bystander in headquarters at the time told TLS.
