Star of Brooklyn: Judd Fischler
JUDD FISCHLER: BOARD MEMBER, BRIGHTON NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: There are no tasks too large for 83-year-old Brooklyn-born Judd Fischler, who has dedicated his life to improving Brooklyn communities in a variety of ways. “Basically, I’ve been active in the Brighton Beach community for 22 years. Prior to that, I was part of the East New York Auxiliary Police,” said Fischler. In addition, he was one of the activists who worked to prevent oversized buildings from going up at Brighton Beach, helping to maintain the scale of the community. “We managed to keep the project down in size,” Fischler said. “I was proud of that.”
