The marking of September 16 will forever remain a particularly heartfelt day on this writer’s calendar. It is the day that G-d granted the Dzikansky Family a most precious gift; a baby boy to spoil to no end. Fawn over. After 3 girls, the Prince had, finally, arrived! Nothing was ever the same.
According to (family) legend, the delivery nurses at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital were astonished at his size; one of the biggest (in weight and length) in memory! Even more so, the fact that both parents were average-sized, well, became the talk of the unit. As time went by, had they watched him develop, they would not have been surprised to see him grow into a towering 6’3; a strapping young man, not to mention, very handsome, too.
Even more so, the fact that be became a “gentle giant” – not only mirroring his brother-in-law and very best friend in stature, but in always looking out for loved ones – was nothing short of a miracle.
Notably, he could have easily turned into a man with a stone-cold heart. For 25 plus years, his professional life was a continuous loop of nightmarish chases – from hunting down serial killers throughout New York City, to cornering Jihadi terrorists all over the world. To encapsulate the aforementioned, the following (out of countless) sets the stage:
- The Orthodox Jewish cop who was NYPD’s undercover detective in Israel
- Who was anti-terror agent NYPD Det. Mordecai Zev Dzikansky z”l?
- Morty the Cop: A Manhattan Homicide Detective Assigned to Israel
- National Homeland Security Conference
- The Terrorism Beat
