During Robinson’s Levaya, the Hespedim were full of phrases, like, “health and happiness for All.of Mankind”.
That part was beautiful, because at least for then, we really felt, that all of mankind, Yid and Non-Yid, are all beloved by Hashem.
Maybe if the cops that frequent the Dunkin Donuts one block away could pull themselves away for the store for a few minutes things would be a little safer.
I own a store on Nostrand and we were recently held up as well although not at gun point BH. It was a Forceful Shoplifting incident where to large blacks came in and grabbed things and ran.
Maybe Its time for police cameras along Nostrand Avenue.
