Rabbi Shlomo Braun recognizes Moshe Yedid

NEW YORK - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- On Sunday, March 26, 2006 Rabbi Shlomo Braun Founder and Director of the Aleh Foundation along with State Senator Martin J.Golden (R-22nd SD) presented a Legislative Resolution to Moshe Yedid at the 27th Annual Community Legislative Breakfast of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Flatbush. The Senator introduces the resolution on the floor of the Senate and it was adopted unanimously on February 7, 2006 as Senate Resolution No. 3383.

The resolution recognizes Moshe, who is a sixth grader at Yeshiva Aterel Torah, raising more than $5,000 to benefit Hatzolah of Flatbush, a volunteer ambulance service, in memory of his father Ike, who passed away recently after a long illness. Senator Golden first met Moshe at a Town Hall meeting in Hatzholah’s garage last November, when he presented a plaque to Moshe in recognition for his efforts. Moshe had begun collecting money for Hatzolah while sitting shiva for his father. Hatzolah Flatbush volunteers had shown his father and family great kindness during his father’s illness, and Moshe wanted to show his appreciation. When the Senator and Rabbi Shlomo Braun from the Aleh Foundation heard Moshe’s story, they were visibly moved and invited him to Albany to introduce him to the State Senate. Moshe and his proud family looked on as Senator Golden praised Moshe and requested that this resolution be passed. The answer was a standing ovation.
