  1. Happened on Hillside. A VERY dangerous street to cross. Very difficult to see cars coming around the curve. I urge askanim to put up traffic lights in strategic places or come up with another solution.

  2. I have a solution. SLOW DOWN just slow down it might take a little longer to get some where but you and everybody else will be safer and it would not hurt to stay off of your cell phones when driving.

  3. My prayers for Yitzchak to have a speedy recovery and his family to have the strength to get through this difficult time in their lives.

  4. Thank you to all those saying tehillim- we are still missing 22-76 and 102-150. Please post if you have time to say any of these.
    Thank you

  5. 67-70.
    I also want to say that i was in the Hatloleh dispatcher’s house at that time and all i could say was Mi Kiamcha Yisroel. The amount of people stopping right after shabbos to call really amazed me.
