Jewish Community Council of Bangor executive committee members Norman Minsky, Barbara Podolsky and Howard Segal wrote “on behalf of the Bangor Jewish Community and the families of those injured” in a van accident Aug. 6 on Interstate 95 near Argyle “to express our sincere thanks to all who helped.”

“From the passer-by who called 911 to the first responders, the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department, the Maine State Police and all the rescue teams involved, our deepest gratitude,” they wrote.

“Your efforts to transport and comfort the youngsters makes you all heroes.”

The committee expressed its “profound thanks” to Dr. Jonathan Busko and Karen Clements of Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor for their “professionalism in handling such a crisis situation with extraordinary caring and kindness.”

They also thank “the entire EMMC staff … for their sensitivity to the needs of the injured, given the unique circumstance of aiding Orthodox Jewish young men whose families were far away.”

All their needs were met, from kosher food to telephones, to ensure “that not only their medical, but their spiritual, requirements were met.”

The committee believes this area is fortunate “to have a facility like EMMC whose entire staff exhibited such compassionate care.”
