Hundreds Attend the Levaya of Benny Keller OB”M

Family, Friends, Teachers, Mashpi’im and people that didn’t even know Benny, gathered around his Aron in front of 770 to ask Mechilla and say Tehillim. He was then escorted by a Hatzalah Ambulance along with many friends and members of the community to the Montefiore Cemetery in Queens where hundreds were on hand for the Kevurah.

The family will be sitting Shiva in their home at 935 Eastern Parkway between Troy and Albany in Apartment 1C [entrance from the right side of the main entrance]. Shacharis will be at 7:00am, Mincha and Maariv will be Bizmana.

As if enough didn't happen Friday… …At around 2:00pm a group of Jewish youths, some from Crown Heights, and others not, got into a fight in the alleyway between Shain Shul and Zakons Toys on Kingston Ave. when they were observed fleeing the alleyway leaving one behind, injured.

Hatzalah responded and began treating the youth for a BB gun shot to his hand and to his back. When questions by authorities as to his age and name he responded with silence and when asked what had taken place he responded the same way. Hatzalah then transported him to Kings County Hospital where he received further treatment.

The New York Times
The Rev. Al Sharpton got involved yesterday in a racially charged congressional contest in Brooklyn, asking Senator Charles E. Schumer, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to take a position in a primary where a white candidate is running for a seat historically held by blacks.

The race involves the seat now held by Major R. Owens who, after 24 years in Congress, is not running for re-election this year.
