Pedestrian Struck and Injured

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A schoolboy on his way home from school was struck and injured when trying to cross Eastern Parkway, and despite not being Jewish – Hatzalah rushed to the scene and treated him.

The incident occurred at around 3:30pm at the intersection of Eastern Parkway and New York Avenue.

The victim was hit and rolled up onto the car’s hood and windshield, shattering it, and falling off to the side of the car. Luckily he did not suffer any life threatening injuries.

    YESSSSSSS!!!!! How wonderful it is to see images of religious people reaching out to help a fellow HUMAN BEING who was also created by G-d in the image of G-d!!!! Thank you, Crown Heights Info, for highlighting a genuine “light upon the nations” moment!

    Rachel…calm down already. All this rah! rah! rah! is exhausting.

    No one answered me last time…do the families of these non-Jewish victims EVER even give a thank you to Hatzalah?

    Now I think of it, do our people??????

    To Levi

    She said that Religous people were helping human beings which is very nice.

  • YAY

    1. :)

    4. Most non-Jews don’t even know Hatzalah exists. Maybe you should ask Hatzalah instead of promoting sweeping, ignorant and harmful generalizations.

    5. READ the article.

    “despite not being Jewish, Hatzalah rushed to the scene and treated him” – Funny, I had always assumed Hatzalah was only Jews…

    I am appalled by the fact that your article states that even though he was non Jewish Hatzalah came to the scene. The job of Hatzalah is to save lives, not to check there “Jewishness”.

  • huh?

    why does it even sya that the boy wasnt jewish?/??
    why does that make a difference?
    if he is a human being then he isnt any different that anyone else when ti comes to being treated like a person

  • wow

    I’m quite appalled by the fact that something like “they helped him in spite of not being Jewish is stated. It sheds a COMPLETELY different light (and definitely not a kiddush hashem one) on the whole article.

    Plain and simple; thank you for doing the Kiddush Hashem on behalf of the kehilla. This is part and parcel of my job every day.
