Shorelines

Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky and his wife, Leah, recently bought their neighbor's home.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL — In the tumultuous real estate market, it's still possible for people to sell their homes - especially if their next-door neighbors are interested in buying.

Such is the case with Ponte Vedra Beach resident Nochum Kurinsky and his former neighbor, Curtis Long. Kurinsky bought Long's home last fall. The two men said they are both happy with the deal and are glad things worked out as they did.

House Deal Works Well for Rabbi, Neighbor

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Following yesterday’s report of the departure of Deputy Inspector Frank Vega, CrownHeights.info has just learned that the incoming Commanding Officer is Captain Peter Simonetti of the 72nd Precinct, which oversees the Sun Set Park area of Brooklyn.

Captain Simonetti a has long history with policing in the borough of Brooklyn, starting with his uncle, Tosano “Tony” Simonetti who was the Brooklyn South Commanding Officer, the position which is now held by Chief Jospeh Fox, and quickly worked his way up the ranks all the way to the ‘number 2’ position in the NYPD, the First Deputy Police Commissioner, which he retired from in 1997 to take a lucrative security position with billionaire Ronald Perelman.

Like his uncle, Captain Simonetti shares the same tough attitude and strong approach to the job.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — I'm a big believer in people — generally prone to see the best and the possible instead of the worst. But even I was surprised by the depth of generosity I witnessed today.

Hershey Fellig, an orthodox Jew from Los Angeles, desperately needed a kidney. Marisa Hester, a Christian mother-of-two from Alabama, gave one to him. The two were complete strangers. Marisa had never even met a Jewish person before. She read about Hershey online and made the selfless decision to help.
