The FDNY was battling a fire in a Shul in Queens, Thursday afternoon. The fire broke out at around 3:20PM in HaRav Yitzchok Friedman’s Shul, also known as Bais Yosef D’Ulem, located in the Kew Gardens Hills section of Queens. Heavy fire conditions were reported, and Queens Hatzalah was dispatched to the scene. There was no word on the Sifrei Torah, although sources tell YWN that the Shul has a safe. The Shul has been a mainstay of Kew Gardens Hills, highlighted by its open-door policy of nonstop Shacharis minyanim that service the greater Queens community.
