Baltimore, MD – Oct. 2, 2015 - This morning during Musaf at Rabbi Yosaif Berger’s Kol Torah on Fallstaff, a disturbance was created when a mentally deranged African American woman entered the building though the Men’s entrance and easily made her way up to the Amud where she  placed a bag next to it and raised her arms.

To the credit of the mispalelim, they recognized immediately that she meant no harm when laying her pocketbook down and recognized that she had emotional issues. They called Shomrim and 911.  Shomrim arrived first, as is usually the case, calmed the person down, obtained her mother's information from her and, in fact, reached the mother who told them she had been missing for hours.  She was then taken away by Baltimore City ambulance.

Kudos to the mispalelim and Shomrim #5 for handling this case in an extremely efficient and calm manner.

Shomrim reminds the community that “If you see something, say something” applies at all times, 24x7.
