One year ago, on the second day of Chanukah, December 10, 2012, 9-year-old Dovid Geisinsky walked into a room to find his father, Rabbi Yosef Geisinsky, director of Chabad of Great Neck, lying on the floor unconscious.
Temperatures in Crown Heights plunged last night into the single digits, but that did not stop a determined resident from chasing down, barefoot and in pajamas, a burglar he witnessed inside his car.
One person was hurt when the minivan he was driving was struck by an FDNY ambulance that was responding to an emergency. Hatzalah and Shomrim gave assistance, and made a big Kiddush Hashem in the process.
