Yesterday at FDNY Headquarters, the Ner Tamid Society proudly celebrated 100 years of history, service, and brotherhood alongside FDNY Department leadership.

Our centennial celebration was an opportunity to reflect on a century of Jewish service and leadership within the FDNY, from the story of America’s first Jewish Fire Chief to the evolution of our Society under the guidance of Rabbi Edward Lissman and the many contributions that continue to shape our organization today.

We also reflected on the importance of supporting and standing alongside other fraternal organizations, including the Vulcan Society, founded in 1940, whose own history represents an important part of the FDNY’s ongoing journey toward inclusion and progress.

One hundred years later, the Ner Tamid Society remains committed to honoring our past, strengthening our relationships, and building a legacy for the next generation.

It was a privilege to celebrate this milestone with Department leadership and members of our FDNY family. Here’s to the next 100 years!

Three years have passed since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, but we will never forget those whose lives were taken, the families forever changed, and the courage of those who stood against terror.

As the FDNY Ner Tamid Society, we remember the victims, honor the heroes, and stand in solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people. We continue to say with conviction: Never Forget. Never Again. Am Yisrael Chai.

10/02/2026

As we gather in celebration of Simchat Torah, we remember that three years ago, on this very holiday, October 7, 2023, the Jewish people experienced one of the darkest days in our modern history. We honor the memory of those who were murdered, stand with the families whose lives were forever changed, and remember the hostages and all those affected by the attacks.

For the FDNY Ner Tamid Society, we carry that memory with us as we celebrate our Torah, our faith, our brotherhood, and our commitment to Am Yisrael. May the joy of Torah give us strength, may we never forget, and may we continue to stand together.

חג שמח • עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱✡️

This year, Ethan Ackerman took part in the 9/11 Stair Climb with a very personal purpose: to honor the three Jewish FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.

Firefighter Stephen Belson, Battalion 7
Firefighter Alan Feinberg, Battalion 9
Firefighter David Weiss, Rescue 1

Three Jewish firefighters. Three members of the FDNY family. Three lives that must never be forgotten.

Ethan, a political science student at the University of Kansas, originally from Philadelphia, also serves his community through firefighting and EMS. He understands that September 11th cannot simply become a date in a history book.

As he wrote, “I don’t want my generation to be the one that forgets.”

That is exactly why remembrance matters.

The Ner Tamid Society is grateful to Ethan for climbing in honor of Stephen, Alan and David, and for helping ensure that their names, their service and their sacrifice continue to be remembered, particularly within the Jewish community and among the next generation of first responders.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

Stephen Belson. Alan Feinberg. David Weiss.

May their memories be a blessing, and may we never forget the 343 FDNY members who gave their lives trying to save others.

“None of us will be able to visualize or realize what the world will be like one hundred years from now. They won’t know who the Mayor was today, or who the Fire Commissioner was, or who the Chief of Department was, but the spirit, the life and the sacrifice of those men and women will be remembered. And though they are gone, their names will live in the Department forever. Those of us here now, keep going. Keep supporting each other, be kind to each other, love each other, and work together.”

— Father Mychal F. Judge, Lead FDNY Chaplain, who spoke these words at a Mass held on September 10, 2001, one day before he lost his life at the WTC attacks.

Still the greatest job on Earth. 🇺🇸🚒

For generations, members of the FDNY have answered the call—running toward danger when others were running away. On September 11, 2001, three of our own, Firefighter Stephen Belson, Firefighter David Weiss, and Firefighter Alan Feinberg, made the ultimate sacrifice at Ground Zero.

Their courage, their service, and their memory remain forever a part of the Ner Tamid Society and the FDNY family.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🕯️🇺🇸

Throwing it back to 2017, when Rabbi Michael Melnicke was honored by the FDNY as an Honorary Battalion Chief in recognition of his unwavering dedication, leadership, and years of service to the members of the Fire Department of the City of New York.

This special moment reflects the enduring partnership between the FDNY and the FDNY Ner Tamid Society, and our shared commitment to supporting the spiritual well-being of those who serve.

Congratulations again, Rabbi Melnicke, on this well-deserved honor. Your leadership continues to inspire us.

As part of the We Are New York! campaign, our President, Yonatan Klein, and Vice President, Jon Haber, had the privilege of participating in the Common Circles project.

The experience challenged us to step outside our comfort zones by photographing ourselves in different outfits from our own closets, with each outfit representing a different part of who we are. We also selected up to 20 words that describe us—not just by our faith, but by our values, careers, families, interests, and the many roles we play in our communities.

The goal of Common Circles is simple but powerful: to help students see people as individuals rather than stereotypes. By highlighting the many dimensions that make each of us unique, the program encourages empathy, challenges prejudice, and helps educate young people about antisemitism while reinforcing that, despite our differences, we all share our common humanity.

We are proud to have participated in this meaningful initiative as part of the We Are New York! campaign and look forward to the positive impact it will have on students across our communities.
