A long-time Shabbos goy in Shikun Skver has been dismissed….for being a Yid.
You see, the 70-year-old Shabbos goy – who identifies as Catholic and previously worked for the NYPD – is actually Jewish.
The truth emerged during a casual chat with a Skverer resident, during which the Shabbos goy revealed that his grandmother was Jewish and had lived in a village near Kiev, Ukraine.
Word spread rapidly, and Skverer dayanim directed local askanim to investigate and verify the claim.
A thorough investigation into the man’s background confirmed that the man, who had served as a Shabbos goy for over 15 years, is indeed halachically Jewish.
Consequently, he was politely let go from his position, with askanim explaining that he could no longer be employed in that capacity.
