Various community leaders – representing the Chasidic community – joined together with NYS Senator Eric Adams and came out to support NYC Council member David Yassky, who is running for NYC Comptroller.

Among those attending the fundraiser were Rabbi David Niederman head the UJO, Special Assistant to the Superintendent of the New York State Police Rabbi Bernard Freilich, Rabbi Abe Friedman Satmar Community liaison to Government officials, Rabbi Joseph Mentzer, Shia Bernath Hatzalah Coordinator, and others. The event was held at the home of Rabbi Abe Friedman. [Click HERE for photos]

Following the fundraiser, the group made a surprise visit to Yanky Itzkowitz, the head of Williamsburg Shomrim, who was involved in a serious accident on Monday night (photos taken by Hillel Engel of that incident can be viewed by clicking HERE).
