Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Noach Dear, z’l, passed away of the coronavirus on Sunday morning at the age of 67.
Dear served as a member of the New York City Council from 1983-2001 and advocated for the issues of the mostly frum community he represented, including Midwood and much of Boro Park and Bensonhurst. He advanced many laws that assisted the frum communities in Brooklyn.
In 2015, Dear was elected as the Brooklyn Supreme Court after serving as a judge for 20 years in the civil court system.
The 66-year-old former City Councilman succumbed to COVID-19 early Sunday, said his son-in-law Aaron Hirtz
Dear served on the New York City Council 1983-2001, representing Midwood and parts of Borough Park and Bensonhurst, before he was elected to the Brooklyn Supreme Court in 2015 .
Former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who served in the same Borough Park neighborhood when Dear was a councilman and judge, said Sunday that the justice will be “sorely missed.”
“This is such sad news,” Hikind said in a statement. “Noach was a champion, a friend and fighter for his people and all of his constituents. He especially cared for the voiceless and powerless, and dedicated his every single day to making the world a better place.”KINDLY SUPPORT OUR BLOG BY BROWSING THE ADS
