Farkash is “Agent of the Year”

Lubavitcher and Crown Heights resident Duddy Farkash was recently named 2008’s “New Agent of the Year” by the prestigious Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, New York, NY, one of the world’s largest and most highly rated mutual life companies. This was announced by Abraham Ekstein, CEO of BFG – Brooklyn Financial Group, the leading financial services firm serving the communities of the Greater New York area.

In order to win this title, Mr. Farkash had to outperform hundreds of first year Agents across the nation in aggregate new client sales.

The official award will be presented this May in Orlando at the 2009 Guardian Leaders Club National Convention. It will be an enormous Kiddush Hashem when a chassidishe yungerman is called to the dais in front of thousands of his professional peers, industry leaders and national media.

“Duddy is the supreme example of what a heimishe young man with drive, intelligence and a relentless dedication to his clients’ needs can accomplish in an extremely competitive market,” said Mr. Ekstein. “In this respect he is typical of all BFG associates, and proof that a Torah education is all one needs to compete in an industry where secular higher education is considered the norm.”

BFG was established 30 years ago in order to bring sophisticated financial services to the Yiddish-speaking communities. Its phenomenal growth has been fueled by an uncompromising dedication to the needs of its clients, and an ability to identify and nurture outstanding young talent such as Duddy Farkash.

“In these economically stressful times all of us at BFG take pride in the fact that our clients are more secure and can sleep at night because we helped them to properly organize their financial affairs,” concluded Ekstein. “BFG’s clients know their interests come first, and that their finances enjoy maximum protection regardless of what personal or national crises might arise.”
