Florida Police Officer George Waisman was recently honored by the Bal Harbour Police Department and by Chesed Shel Emes at City Village for his altruism and bravery on May 17, when, while off duty, he courageously jumped on a jet ski, amid powerful rip currents, to pull a man to shore and to try to save others.
The tragic incident claimed the lives of R’ Yitzchok Rosenberg z”l and R’ Chaim Parnes z”l.
Officer Waisman’s efforts will long be remembered.
The following are photos from the ceremony held in his honor.
