September 2024
Philip Weisbord
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I trust everyone had a meaningful set of High Holidays. As usual, this time of year keeps us all occupied, balancing holiday festivities and the various responsibilities of September.
Now that September is behind us, October and November take center stage with two significant events for our society.
First, on October 27 at 0800 hours, we will gather at Temple Emanu-El for our annual Louis Weiser Memorial Service, Awards Ceremony, and Scholarship Breakfast. This event, a solemn yet uplifting occasion, holds deep meaning for us as we come together to honor the memories of our fallen Shomrim members, those who have honored our society and community, and those who have achieved academic achievement.
Next, I am thrilled to remind you of the Centennial Gala on November 21, 2024, at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. This historic event, marking 100 years of the NYPD Shomrim Society, a century of service, unity, and resilience, is a testament to our enduring legacy. Tickets and sponsorships are still available, and we encourage all members, friends, and family to join us for this momentous celebration.
Our society has been exceptionally active in recent months. I’m pleased to report that we continue to build upon the strong foundation laid by our predecessors. We have welcomed many new members, all eager to embark on their Shomrim journey and contribute to our rich legacy.
Until we meet again, stay safe. I eagerly look forward to our upcoming membership meeting, the Louis Weiser Memorial Breakfast, the Centennial Gala, or another occasion soon, where we can continue to strengthen our bonds and celebrate our shared commitment.
Fraternally,
Bro. Philip Weisbord
