Policewoman Is Mourned
Several months ago the president of our congregation, Anita Green, was murdered. As she lay in the hospital for two days before she died, she was guarded by two police officers.
Tina Kerbrat, the policewoman killed, was one of them.
So many believe that cops are callous and lack understanding of the human condition. Tina Kerbrat literally took Anita’s son and daughter-in-law, and those of us gathered at her bedside, into her arms with great sensitivity and compassion.
She was a mother, a cop, a psychiatrist, a clergyperson, a human being who deeply cared about our community.
We in our congregation mourn this terrible loss and extend our condolences to her family and to the entire North Hollywood Police Department.
