Living in small town Connecticut, where Jews are the minority, I spend Nittel Nacht (on non-Friday nights) performing community service for the safety of all the townspeople.
For the last 20 years, the CTL adults man the 911 dispatch center. We take calls and dispatch police, EMS and Volunteer Fire Companies. There is a group of Russian Orthodox (they celebrate on January 6th) who takes over at 6AM. When the 24th falls on a Friday they also cover the night shift.
B”H last night there were no fires. Police were dispatched as backup for an automobile accident on a state highway. We dispatched 4 ambulance calls, 3 to senior housing locations and one to take a woman in labor to the hospital, but she was so far along that the EMS personnel delivered the baby en route.
While not sharing the same beliefs as our non-Jewish neighbors, it greatly contributes to harmonious living to give of our time so they can be home with their families on their special night.
