Camara Honors Feiglin At State Of The District Address

In a moving ceremony last week held at the SUNY Downstate Auditorium, Rabbi Moishe Feiglin, Executive Director of A.L.I.Y.A. (Alternative Learning Institute for Young Adults), together with two other honorees, were awarded a Youth Advocate Proclamation.

Assemblyman Camara, extolling the need for working with youth in the district, lauded Rabbi Feiglin for his efforts in providing for the spiritual, physical, vocational, and emotional health of hundreds of young people.

Rabbi Feiglin in turn, thanked the Assemblyman for bestowing on him this state honorarium. He also praised the Assemblyman for being a legislator that is truly concerned with improving the welfare of all his constituents, especially those in need of remedial assistance.

Joining the Rabbi was his wife Sara and their young children, along with enthusiastic staff, students, and friends.

The program began with an invocation by Rabbi Mendel Lerman, spiritual leader of Cong. Bais Levi Yitzchak.

In his remarks he outlined to the Crown Heights audience the seven Noahide Laws and the importance of incorporating them in our daily lives.

Representatives of various communal organizations and political entities were also in attendance. At the end of the meaningful program many stayed on to talk and partake of light refreshments, which included a kosher table.
