Emergency funds are also needed to help pay for the funerals of the victims. The JC Kosher Supermarket at 223 Martin Luther King Drive, with a small, yet visible, synagogue next door and a Chassidic school with some 40 children above, have served as a hub and the heart of the growing community. In recent years, approximately 100 Chassidic families, priced out of Williamsburg and other Brooklyn neighborhoods, have settled in Jersey City. The chilling reverberative sounds of hundreds of gunshots filled Jersey City’s streets during the multi-hour standoff, and has shaken area residents. This family needs a lot of help now.” Yesterday’s attack also took the life of Detective Joseph Seals, a married father of five and 15-year police veteran, and injured three more. “We want to make sure that the three young Ferencz orphans have whatever they need in the days, weeks and months ahead.” Schapiro also pointed out, “the family’s source of income, the small grocery store, is completely devastated. “People have been asking how they can help,” said Rabbi Moshe Schapiro, who co-directs Chabad of Hoboken and Jersey City and is heading up the fund with Greenville Jewish community leaders. Two attackers entered the store, murdering Ferencz Moshe Deutsch, 24 and Douglas Rodríguez in what authorities are now saying was a targeted anti-Semitic attack. Leah Minda Ferencz and her husband, Moshe Dovid, owned and operated a small kosher grocery that served the fledgling Jewish community comprised largely of Chassidic Jews. The beleaguered Jewish community in the Greenville section of Jersey City has established an emergency fund to help the family of the shop owner who was killed in the JC Kosher Supermarket shooting. Schapiro is spearheading the fundraiser with Jewish community leaders in the Greenville section of the city, including Laizer Breuer, principal at Mosodos Greenville, and Moshe Eidles, an administrator at Mosdos Greenville. That victim, who hasn’t been named, managed to slip out the back door of the store when the gunfire began. Rabbi Moshe Schapiro, who co-directs Chabad of Hoboken and Jersey City, was among the people who visited a fifth victim of the shooting in the hospital. Funds will be used to support the Ferencz family and help them rebuild their grocery store, and cover funeral costs for the three civilian victims, organizers stated.Īccording to the campaign: “We, their brothers and sisters we their family and friends we the united Jewish community we the greater community of all righteous Americans we the global community of good people everywhere will not stand silent as the blood of our people flows along the Hudson River!” Read more about the fundraising campaign or make a donation.Īs of Thursday afternoon, the campaign has raised more than $65,000. ![]()
