He was accompanied by Barry Spitzer, the manager of Community Board 12. Yidel Perlstein, CB12’s chairman, was out of town and couldn’t make it for the visit.

Police officers have been entering shuls across the neighborhood on Shabbos and Sunday and telling people that their safety was of utmost concern.

There have also been cruisers placed strategically outside shuls and halls with the lights flashing.
