Misaskim Needs Assistance From Flatbush Community
February 5, 2008

10:00PM EST: Misaskim has just contacted YWN, and are seeking the assistance from the Flatbush community. A few hours ago, a woman by the name of Pearl Goldsmith A”H was R”L found dead in her apartment. She lived at 1015 Avenue N in Flatbush since 1969, and was born in 1931. Misaskim has no information as to whom her next of kin is, and is reaching out to the Flatbush community for help. If anyone has any information on whom this woman is, please contact the Misaskim offices ASAP so she can be brought to Kevurah, at 877-Chesed-6 or 718-845-4548.

Additionally, the NYPD is conducting an investigation to locate her family as well.

Please forward this information to anyone who lives in the area of Avenue N and Coney Island Avenue.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but how sad it is that a community would have no idea who their neighbors are... This, in the much hyped about, much talked about Flatbush community...

Sad? Surprising actually. A community that lives by the motto "Keeping up with the Jones"...

Or maybe, like me, they've got a couple of apartment buildings on the block and a couple a hundred of neighbors in total..and they work all day and never really get around?

I wasn't suggesting that each individual person would know each and every neighbor within a couple block radius, only that you would think that in any other community each individual person would have at least one other person who would know who they are. Apparently, this woman living in the heart of Flatbush, was unknown to everyone. Not even one neighbor knew who she was.
