The seaside resort of S. Marinella is a popular summer destination for residents of Rome.

Hearing the blast of a ram’s horn to usher in the month before Rosh Hashanah is a big deal in the Italian seaside resort of S. Marinella. Just ask Mino Zarfati, the 47-year-old lay leader of Rome’s Jewish community who organizes an annual summer event with the shofar as its centerpiece.

The NYPD is trying to settle a long-running dispute between two rival Orthodox Jewish patrol groups - and keep them from taking the law into their own hands - by uniting them into one police-supervised unit, The Post has learned.

The challenge is getting them to cooperate.

Shmira and Shomrim, private crime-patrol organizations in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, have been rivals since the late '90s, when they split.

Shmira has agreed to the merger, which was proposed in June. Shomrim has refused.

The plan would create a united, NYPD-trained patrol group the department would supervise and partially fund, a source said.
