© Esky Cook How many of us take the time
out of our busy lives to recog-
nize those who help us? They
may be home health compan-
ions, waiters and waitresses,
grocery baggers, shopkeepers,
and even neighbors. All of
them give us a helping hand. Here is

wonderful people who go above and

our community with a warm smile

Hector and one of his numerous Ner Israel yeshiva customers, Binyamin Herman If you’ve shopped at Seven Mile
Market, you know Lamont. Like the
proverbial postman, Lamont has
been loading customers’ vehicles
with the familiar blue bags 40 hours
a week in rain or snow, sleet or heat.
Yossi Lax, a fellow employee,
remarks, “People really love Lamont
because he knows what everyone
needs and even remembers where
they parked their car. On erev
Shabbos or Yom Tov, he knows
exactly what to say: “Have a good
Shabbos!’ or ‘Have a good Yom Tov!’
I would call him ‘Lamentsch’
because he is a mentsch. I don’t
remember a Friday that he didn’t buy
flowers to bring home to his wife.”
“The thing I like about this job is
that the people are friendly,” says
Lamont, as he loads the back of a
minivan with the contents of an
overflowing shopping cart. “Working
with the Jewish community works
okay for me. I love to do business
