In a quiet, private event, Central Hatzolah—the umbrella organization of all Hatzolah volunteer organizations in the country—paid tribute to Pinny Ringel, who served in the De Blasio administration for all eight years.
In his most recent years, Pinny served as Assistant Commissioner to the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit. In this capacity, he served as a bridge to the community, representing the interests of all communities' needs and concerns in City Hall.
Rabbi Yehiel Kalish, CEO of Central Hatzolah, told Boropark24: “We honor Pinny because of his selfless dedication to his community—and to Hatzolah— in a lishmah manner, away from the limelight. Had we attempted to throw a dinner in his honor, he would certainly never have accepted.
As the proclamation read: “The dedication and professionalism shown to Hatzalah during your eight years in service as Community Liaison is genuinely appreciated. Through your work, lives have been saved. We remain forever grateful.”
