“The Legacy Lives On” was the theme of the forty-ninth Annual Dinner for Shor Yoshuv, which took place on Monday night, June 6, at the yeshiva campus. The dinner brought together friends, supporters, and members of the yeshiva in celebration of Shor Yoshuv’s extraordinary history as the spiritual legacy of its founder, Rav Shlomo Freifeld, zt”l. The Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Naftali Jaeger, gave Divrei Brocha, and a special memorial tribute to Rav Freifeld was given by Rabbi Avrohom Fruchthandler. Honorees were Rabbi and Mrs. Zev Bald, Harbotzas Torah Award; Mr. and Mrs. Andy Gladstone, Kesser Shem Tov Award; and Rabbi and Mrs. Avraham Mordechai Freifeld, Mesores HaTorah Award.

he fields of HANC Plainview were filled with music, laughter and dancing as the community celebrated Lag B’Omer. The bonfire was supervised expertly by the local Plainview Fire Department and arts & crafts were provided by the Mid Island Y JCC. BBQ and fruit were happily devoured on the warm summer-like evening. Raffles, baseball games and pick-up basketball games rounded out the wonderful evening. The most amazing part of the event were the 18 girls and women who donated 8 or more inches of their hair to Zichron Menachem in Israel who makes custom wigs for children battling cancer. These amazing acts of chessed were aided by Christine and Erin from Salon Entourage in Syosset who volunteered their time and expertise for the second year in a row.
