Williamsburg, Brooklyn, A 94-year-old Woman Has Been Given Until July 16 To Vacate Her Apartment.

A 94-year-old woman Dottie Wollner, who lives in the Williams Plaza houses in Williamsburg and moved into her sister’s apartment to care for her as she was dying is being ordered by the Housing Authority to pack up and leave the flat she considers her home.
Ms. Wollner, switched towers nearly three years ago to tend to her sister, and settled into her apartment. The housing authority wants her back in her old unit – for which she has continued to pay rent.

“I want to stay,” she said. “If I go back to my own place, I could die.

“Ms. Wollner is in no danger of being evicted. However, she cannot keep two apartments,” NYCHA spokeswoman said, explaining that she can return to her original unit.

But Powsner said moving Wollner, who has trouble moving without a walker, would be “like killing her.”

The family plans to fight the eviction notice in tenant court. Marty Markowitz, the Brooklyn borough president, sent a letter to NYCHA and says he will do everything he can to help the woman.

“Even a bureaucracy must have rachmones,” he said, using the Yiddish word for compassion.

Roosevelt NJ, Residents Protest Yeshiva Plans

0

ROOSEVELT — Plans to bring a yeshiva — a private, intensive religious school for Jewish children — to Roosevelt is drawing the community’s ire.
Neighbors fear the school could change the small town’s character, while the hosting synagogue is hoping the yeshiva will revive its struggling congregation.
Fiery accusations of prejudice on the part of residents and the board’s refusal to consider a survival plan more palatable to the community flew at a recent community meeting to discuss the yeshiva, but the night ended without any clear picture of the future.
Board members of Congregation Anshei Roosevelt on Homestead Lane want to allow a yeshiva at the synagogue for a one-year trial run. The yeshiva would be only for boys and would educate eight to 10 students in its first year. If the school stayed in Roosevelt, the yeshiva would add one grade each year, possibly reaching as many as 50 students in four years. The school would have one head rabbi and a teacher per grade who will likely live in town.
The prospect of a yeshiva in Roosevelt isn’t sitting well with many impassioned residents, who came out to a July 1 community meeting to learn more about the plans. Residents’ concerns ranged from the yeshiva’s influence on the tiny borough’s character to the impact on Roosevelt’s only nursery school, which is housed in the synagogue and will presumably be evicted if the yeshiva stays past the year trial run.
