Commissioner: “The passing of Rabbi Druckman is a great loss for the people of Israel. Over the years in a number of command positions I held, I met the rabbi and what always set him apart was his ability to bring everyone together even in moments of crisis. Rabbi Druckman was an important educator and leader who raised generations of students, some of whom serve today and served in the past in the Israel Police and the Border Guard.”
