As members of Belleville’s small but vibrant Jewish community gathered for Yom Kippur at Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, a man armed with a shotgun exchanged gunfire with police outside the synagogue. Constable Jeff Smith was shot and critically injured while protecting congregants.

He put his life on the line to safeguard our community. Join us in thanking him for his bravery and sacrifice.
