State education department proposes private school rules By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

The New York State Education Department is continuing its push to have private schools — especially yeshivas that eschew secular education for more religious instruction — meet the state’s academic standards. Introducing what are being called “pathways” for nonpublic schools to show that they provide secular education equal to that offered by public schools, the state Board of Regents reviewed the

proposed new regulations during a virtual meeting on March 14. The reworked rules aim to settle a debate over the number of hours that religious schools, and especially Jewish ones, should devote to religious instruction instead of secular subjects such as English, math, science and social studies. “The good news is that there are multiple pathways for exemption,” said Richard Altabe, the lower school principal for the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach in Woodmere. He noted that accreditaContinued on page 11

New HERJC rabbi aims to make an impact msmollins@liherald.com

After finishing law school and passing the bar exam in Brazil, Michel Schlesinger decided that he would rather become a rabbi than pursue a career in law, and that there was just one person he had to persuade. “It wasn’t very easy for my mom because she wanted a lawyer, not a rabbi,” he said with a laugh. “I had to convince her.” Schlesinger eventually was able to gain the approval of his mother, Jisela Kormes, and pursued his dream. Six months ago, he became the newest rabbi at the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre. Last Friday he hosted his first full in-person service. “I am very excited for tonight’s ceremony because it’s difficult to engage with people digitally when you do not know them,” he said on the morning before the service. “So I want to be with real people, in person, and I’m looking forward to this moment. So far, it’s been a good experience, but because of the pandemic, I’m not living it in its full potential yet, and I think it’s going to happen now.” Schlesinger came to East Rockaway from São Paulo, Brazil. He said that he fell in love with rabbinical studies after he completed his bar mitzvah and began to help at his local synagogue, at first assisting a rabbi there and then teaching. After earning his law degree from São Paulo University and passing the bar, he decided to switch careers. He completed his studies at Schechter Institutes in Jerusalem, where he was ordained, and then went on to become head rabbi at a synagogue in his native Brazil for 16 years. Two years ago, Schlesinger took a sabbatical to London for three months with

his wife, Juliana, an anthropologist, and his daughters, Tamar, 12, and Naomi, 8. Then he decided to come to East Rockaway because it was close to New York City, which he called “the Mecca of critical, progressive Judaism.” He had learned that there was a vacancy there after Rabbi Andrew Warmflash retired in July 2020. HERJC President Stephen Moelis said that, after an exhaustive search for a replacement, many things drew him to Schlesinger, who was in Brazil at the time, when they conferenced over Zoom. “He, on paper, in his résumé, seemed to have everything that we were looking for,” Moelis said. “He had a young family, he had been a senior rabbi for the better part of 15 years . . . he had engaged in significant fundraising activities, had engaged in significant membership outreach, he was a star student in college, which would appeal to those members of our population who are looking to be educated. He was incredibly personable and warm, and

clearly interested in what we had to offer as a synagogue.” Moelis said about 30 people applied for the job through the Rabbinical Assembly, an international association of rabbis, but the HERJC committee decided after several conversations that Schlesinger was right for the job. The search started in October 2019 and culminated after Warmflash left, but because of Covid Schlesinger was stuck in Brazil. Upon taking the helm at HERJC, Schlesinger hosted several virtual cocktail hours to get to know congregants, and spent most of the first part of 2021 hosting services virtually. The temple was then able to switch to a hybrid model, allowing a select few parishioners in-person, until the Omicron variant caused it to return to virtual-only services for two months. Friday marked the first full inperson session. During his time leading his faith in Brazil, Schlesinger said, he had many

influential experiences, which included working closely with Pope Francis to promote interfaith services, which, he said, mean a great deal to him. “The most amazing of all is his capacity to concentrate and be with you,” Schlesinger said of the pope. “One of our meetings was in St. Peter’s Square with thousands of people, and the 10 minutes that we chatted, that we were together, he was absolutely concentrated, as if we were the only two people there.” Schlesinger said that Francis had a strong sense of humor. When Schlesinger told him that he was friendly with someone the pope knew, Francis suggested that Schlesinger “get better friends,” and he playfully mocked him about the Brazilian soccer team. Schlesinger said he planned to continue interfaith lessons in East Rockaway, and part of his outreach to congregants has included teaching online classes, Hebrew courses and introducing music to the in-person services, including piano and guitar. He said he hoped to personally get to know each of the 320 families who belong to the temple. “Rabbi Schlesinger has made every effort to reach out to congregants,” Moelis said. “He texts them on their birthdays, on their anniversary, he calls upward of a dozen or two dozen congregants each week just to see how they’re doing. So this is a situation where people aren’t just coming back and seeing each other, but they’re seeing a rabbi that they very quickly have become friendly with.” With activities returning to a more normal setting, Schlesinger said that he was anxiously anticipating his future at HERJC. “I’m very excited,” he said. “I’m doing everything that I can to connect with people.”

Barry Dov Dov Schwartz pens new book By Mike SMollinS msmollins@liherald.com

Former Rockville Centre Rabbi Dr. Barry Dov Schwartz worked alongside a Nazi hunter. He marched for Civil Rights in Washington, D.C. He served as a chaplain during the Vietnam War. These stories and many more of his exciting adventures and experiences are chronicled in his new book, “A Man of Spirit: A Rabbi Navigates a Half-Century of Sweeping Change,” which was released on Jan. 25. “I said to myself, it’s a good time now that I’m retired that I just try to put something together of all the adventurous things that I experienced during my lifetime,” Schwartz said, “especially my years during Vietnam and 37 years in one congregation on Long Island, and that was the motive.” Those 37 years were spent at Temple B’nai Shalom, now Congregation B’nai Sholom-Beth David, in Rockville Centre. Schwartz, 81, who now lives in North Woodmere, grew up in Boston and went on to study at Boston Latin School, Boston

University, Columbia University, Hebrew Teachers College, Hebrew University and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. When he was a student in Boston, he traveled to Washington, D.C. to join the march for civil rights on Aug. 28, 1963, at the urging of his mother, and he said his parents instilled in him the importance of acceptance. “Both my parents were lovers of all people, all colors,” he said. “My father, in Boston, worked with people of color and I was engrained since my youth to love all peoples and to not be silent when they were facing troubles. It’s something I always wanted to do and be, not a bystander. And that was a major lesson my parents taught me is to be an activist.” He carried that sense of acceptance and tolerance with him into his professional life, frequently emphasizing the importance of interfaith services. He also served on the boards at Mercy and St. Francis hospitals, is still active in Friends of Mercy Hospital and has a close association with the Catholic community to this

day. Schwartz will also mark his 25th year serving as chaplain of the Nassau County Police Department this year, and will be recognized sometime in the spring. In keeping with tolerance, Schwartz has frequently written about World War II through the years after being emotionally impacted by the Holocaust. He learned that many Nazis were not brought to justice, and so he began working closely with famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, who was living in Vienna, in the 1960s. The two worked together for a number of years, and eventually, Schwartz said, he worked with the government and went under cover as a Neo-Nazi, attending their meetings at homes on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he would gather intel on them. “I wanted to do some work in apprehending Nazis and bringing them to justice,” Schwartz said. “Not just out of revenge, but for justice.” He he was unable to eat at the meetings because the spreads were not kosher. He also noted that Wiesenthal asked him to write the foreword for his book, “The Sunflower,” and he happily obliged.

After he finished his time in Vietnam, Schwartz moved on to a congregation in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, for six years and then joined the Rockville Centre synagogue in 1973, where he remained for nearly four decades until his retirement in 2010. He was succeeded by Rabbi Howard Diamond and then David Lerner, who is the current spiritual leader there. Schwartz and his wife, Sonia, a retired teacher, built a life in Rockville Centre. They had three children, Javi, Jonathan and Tamar, and they now have five grandchildren, Binyamin, Hannah, Noah and twins Alex and Jesse. Schwartz said he hoped that his book would provide readers with a solid understanding of the inner- and outer-workings of a rabbi, or any religious leader, and that people would enjoy reading about his experiences. He will host a book launching event at the Rockville Centre synagogue on May 15 and at the synagogue he now attends, Young Israel of North Woodmere, on May 22. Proceeds will be donated to each synagogue. “A Man of Spirit” is available now on Amazon.com.

No stranger to politics Cedarhurst resident David Lobl, who previously lived in Far Rockaway, is the Democratic candidate running to replace Atlantic Beach resident Melissa “Missy” Miller in the 20th Assembly District. Lobl’s opponent is fellow Cedarhurst resident Ari Brown, a longtime village trustee and the current deputy mayor. Miller is now representing the Third Councilmatic District on the Town of Hempstead board. She replaced fellow Republican Bruce Blakeman, now the Nassau County executive. Lobl, 37, moved into Cedarhurst two years ago and is a government relations consultant with his own Cedarhurstbased firm Asher Strategies LLC. Previously he worked David with Kasirer LLC, a top-rated government relations firm. In addition, Lobl was a special assistant to Gov. Andrew Cuomo from 2012 to 2018. “I think essentially the only way to make a difference in our community is to be a Democrat in the Assembly,” he said. “Being a member of the majority you can accomplish your goals in the state Assembly.” Saying that is philosophy is to work with “anyone and anybody,” Lobl aims to fix the bail reform law, support tougher measures for hate crimes, deliver as much Covid relief for businesses in the district and fight for equal funding for private schools. He has worked to have private schools receive more money for STEM( science, technology, engineering and math) education. “If you are convicted of a violent crime you should be in jail, if you are convicted of a hate crime you should be in jail, if convicted of a crime with a firearm you should be in jail and if you are convicted of domestic abuse you should be in jail,” he said, “judges should have discretion.” Lobl noted that a portion of people are

still victims of Hurricane Sandy, many remain harmed by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and he aims to help them all. He supports suspension of the gas tax in Nassau County as well as statewide and will look to bring back money for local infrastructure noting the cracked sidewalks of his hometown village. “David Lobl is committed to keeping us safe, committed to educating our children, and as a Democrat elected to the Democratically controlled Assembly, David unlike his opponent, will address our district’s needs,” Five Towns Democratic Club President Michael Turi wrote in an email. Lobl and Brown have also had their scrapes. In 2016, Brown, along with five other members of the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency, resigned after Lobl the seven-member board approved a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) for a Valley Stream business that raised residents taxes by hundreds of dollars to offset the tax break. Brown noted that a state comptroller’s audit eventually supported the IDA’s due diligence. “The comptroller’s audit vindicated the IDA, while pointing out the shortcomings of a local taxing jurisdiction,” he said, referring to the school district. Two years later, Lobl was identified as the person who approved what was considered an incendiary flier that suggested Cuomo’s primary election opponent, actress Cynthia Nixon was anti-Semitic and pro Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, the movement that stumps for colleges and governments to halt doing business with Israel. Saying he was focused on this election, Lobl said, “no comment.” Early voting begins March 28 and ends April 5. The Nassau County Board of Elections, 240 Old Country Road, Mineola; Long Beach City Hall, 1 West Chester Street, Long Beach; and Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, 101 Causeway, Lawrence are the early voting sites.

Frank Parise III saluted his father, Frank Parise, with extemporaneous heartfelt words of appreciation, not only calling him a role model, words also used by one of his two daughters, Christine, but saying he always wanted to have his dad’s respect. Jennifer is also part of the Parise siblings. “I am the parent I am today because of my father,” the younger Parise said Parise, 74, a lifelong Inwood resident, was finally honored in-person as the Inwood Civic Association’s Citizen of the Year at the Inwood Country Club on March 19. Parise was originally named the award winner for 2019, however because of the coronavirus pandemic there was no formal dinner until last Saturday. “I just want to thank the civic association for this honor, really it’s overwhelmingly,” he said. “I’m a past president of the civic, I know how hard they work.” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, County Legislator Carrié Solages, Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock and Cedarhurst Deputy Mayor Ari Brown also saluted Parise with citations and proclamations. Blake-

man called Parise a friend and a person he can call on. Members of the Inwood Fire Department, Peninsula Kiwanis and the Sons of Italy Leonardo da Vinci Lodge #238 were also among the many family members and friends who raised a glass to toast Parise. “This fireman is more than fireman, he has contributed so much to his community in so many ways,” Solages said. Parise joined the fire department more than 30 years ago and served in several posts and is now in his second stint as fire district commissioner. The Inwood Civic Association presented its first Citizen of the Year award in 1963. Parise is considered the award winner for 2019. Proceeds from the dinner, including many raffle prizes and the 50/50 raffle supports the philanthropic programs the association helps to fund such as scholarships for local high school students. On a night that celebrated Parise, the family won the grand prize – a 55-inch Samsung television. “When you are involved and do these things it fills you with great gratitude,” said Far Rockaway resident Paul Shanab, a member of Peninsula Kiwanis and adviser to the Hewlett High School Key Club, a student community service club.

Meeting the Democratic Congressional candidates By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

Four out of the five current Democratic candidates vying to be the Dems representative in the general election to replace Kathleen Rice attended a Meet the Candidates night hosted by the Bellmore-Merrick Democratic Club at the Merrick Road Golf Course Clubhouse on March 14. Rice announced she would not seek re-election last month. Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe, Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett, former Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen, and first-time candidate Kevin Shakil, of Westbury, took part in responding to questions that were submitted by their potential constituents. County Legislator Carrié Solages, who is also running, was unable to attend. Each candidate was allotted three minutes to make an opening statement, as well as three minutes to respond to each question. Among the topics discussed were the affordability of living on Long Island and public safety. The first question asked was: What did the candidates feel was the biggest problem facing the district, and what would be their solution? Corbett said the biggest issue facing the district is the use and trafficking of illegal handguns. “We need a real comprehensive, federal program, that funds the local police departments so that we

Let’s finally get something done to stop the illegal trafficking of illegal handguns.” Gillen touched upon several topics, all relating to lifestyle affordability, whether it be housing, prescription drugs or gasoline. “We need to tackle this problem immediately,” Gillen said of the recent uptick in gas prices. “We should have an

immediate gas tax holiday — we should also be working to become energy independent.” Shakil, the CEO of Islamic Radio, also said safety was his main concern. “We are seeing crimes through the roof, illegal guns — people are getting killed, people are getting shot,” he said. “The only way we can ensure that public safety is taking serious is by funding our police, but ensuring that they have transparency and accountability.” Bynoe said she agreed “whole heart-

edly” with the previous responses. Bynoe discussed some of the work she had done with the legislature, such as offering mental health services to public facing employees. “We have to go to Washington, we have to work across the island, and we have to bring common sense solutions to the issues we are facing here,” she said. The war in Ukraine was also on the candidates’ minds. All four agreed the United States should continue to support Ukraine with resource and place sanctions against Russia, which isn’t always easy, according to Corbett. “It’s very tough for any local group to find the proper organization that can actually get the goods that you all bring in there,” Corbett said. “We should be in Washington — at least providing resources to our residents that are willing to help.” “Aside from doing the sanctions and doing all that we are in the current moment, we have to make sure that we are sending arms,” Bynoe added. “That is a basic tenant of who the United States is —and we have to do it well.” As of press time only one Republican, tech CEO Bill Staniford of Lawrence, has announced his candidacy. Primary elections will take place on June 28. A full video of the event is available to watch on the Bellmore Merrick Democratic Club’s YouTube channel.

It’s a puzzlement! as you weren’t confronted with a myriad of choices as to what type, flavor or size! Becoming a smart decision-maker is a great skill that will serve you well throughout life. Like in sports, you’ ll become practiced and be able to make quick decisions that will likely be successful without all the angst or effort. Of course, not all your decisions will work out exactly as hoped for, but most of them will work out pretty well. Here are three ways to accomplish this feat.

cerns and help you decide what to do and when to do it — without pressuring you. Remember, doing nothing is a choice that you may well regret.

Person to Person

■ Get Started.

■ Ask yourself the right questions.

This is trickier than it seems at first glance. You need to know your objective before you seek out answers. If you don’t, you may ask yourself the wrong question. An example: you may be pondering whether to return to college when a more fundamental question may be, “now that I’m approaching apadin the empty nest stage, how do I want to spend the rest of my life?” This might mean changing jobs, developing a new interest, starting therapy or moving to a new place. Asking the wrong question makes it difficult to find the right answer.

Linda S

Postponing a decision might be OK — for a while. But if you put things off for too long, you just compound the problem. Let’s say you have money sitting in the bank that you want to invest for better returns. But how? You’re terrified about losing money, unsophisticated about the financial markets. So you do nothing — for years. Time to get started! But you might say to yourself, this is the wrong time, look at the turmoil Putin’s created in the world. Still, even if you don’t make the decision now, you can educate yourself by speaking to a few financial experts who’ll listen to your con-

■ Know your risk tolerance. Some folks like to play it safe; others love to live on the edge. Know your risk tolerance. Then you can reduce the unknowns, making your decision less risky. The more you know, the surer you can be of your decisions. Nothing as risky as plunging into an

arena you know very little about. So, if you’ve harbored a dream about going into business for yourself but continue to keep putting it off, do your research now! The more you know, the easier it’ll be for you to decide whether to take the leap and go for it! Good decision-making is an art and a skill. Similar to driving, choosing our route over another. You may choose the scenic route if you have the time, want to take in nature, stop along the way. Or you may choose the faster route if there’s a place you need to get to right away. No right or wrong answers — only you making the best choices for reaching your goals. Some seem to have a natural talent for making good decisions. Most of us, however, need to learn how to clarify uncertainties, evaluate risks, enlarge options, accept tradeoffs and motivate ourselves to face whatever’s causing our hesitation. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

You’re baffled. What to do? You have an important choice to make but you’re worried you’ll make the wrong choice. It could be taking a new job you might regret, having elective surgery you might bemoan, deciding on a decorating project you might find fault with. Make a bad choice, and you’ll have wasted time, money and energy and be pissed with yourself ! Feeling indecisive, you postpone making a decision. That way, you avoid making a big mistake, that is — until you take a good look at what you didn’t do. You kick yourself for not getting out of the stock market before it started going down. You feel sick when you think about the house you could have bought dirt cheap, if only you had acted, instead of hesitating as usual. And it’s not only major decisions that plague you. You might drive yourself crazy trying to decide where to go on your next vacation, which laptop to buy, even what to cook for dinner. The ability to make good decisions without excessive angst is vital for in today’s world, we have an abundance of choices! It hasn’t always been this way. Decades ago, you were lucky if you could get a decent job, take a vacation, buy affordable clothes. Something as simple as ordering ice cream or a cup of coffee was no big deal,

Traffic light coming to dangerous area continued from front page Peninsula and Edwards, and many people walk across the heavily trafficked roadway on their way to or from the synagogue. On Dec. 30, 2019, Woodmere resident Stewart Hecht was struck and killed by a vehicle at the intersection of Edward and Peninsula. On Sept. 1, Tobias Levkovich, also of Woodmere, was killed when he was hit by a car as he crossed Peninsula between Island and Longacre avenues, near Young Israel of Woodmere. “Needed for a time,” Woodmere resident Joel Harris said of the coming traffic signal in a Facebook post in response to a Herald question seeking reaction. “Bad sight line to the left, speeding traffic in both directions. I live locally and detour to Howard Avenue to enter Peninsula Blvd., in either direction.” The two other fatal accidents were roughly three months apart. Keith Bailey, of Queens Village, a passenger in a small truck, was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Peninsula Boulevard on Nov. 19, 2019, and a man died in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Lafayette Drive and Peninsula on Feb. 21, 2020. “I’ve spoken with members of the community numerous times who were begging, begging for some action,” County Legislator Howard Kopel, a Republican who represents Woodmere, said. “The previous administration didn’t find it nec-

That is dumbfounding considering all the deaths and other accidents. So I’m extremely gratified and grateful that it’s finally getting taken care of, and the needs of the community were taken seriously.” Melanie Kail, a resident of Woodmere and a Woodmere Fire District commissioner, created a petition on Change.org

after Hecht was killed demanding a traffic light at the intersection of Edward and Peninsula. As of press time, more than 50,000 people had put their names on the petition. “This highly traffic thoroughfare had long posed a hazard to pedestrians,” County Legislator Denise Ford, who represents a portion of Woodmere, said in a

statement. She called the coming traffic light a “much-need improvement,” that “will enhance safety for our Five Towns residents.” sHave an opinion on traffic on Peninsula Boulevard or any other location in the Five Towns? Send a letter to jbessen@liherald. com.

tion with the Middle States Association or the New York State Association of Independent Schools are two such pathways for private schools to be considered on par with public schools. HALB recently attained NYSAIS accreditation. “The bad news is that the [state] regulations don’t recognize religious instruction and the value for those schools,” Altabe said. “Studying the Talmud is critical thinking, and I’m disappointed. Much of Jewish education is substantiative.” Schools under HALB’s umbrella include Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys, also in Woodmere, and Lev Chana Early Childhood Learning Center and Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls, both in Hewlett Bay Park. In April 2019, the State Supreme Court struck down private-school regulations that then State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia had established six months earlier. Elia wanted all private schools to offer a total of 36 hours of instruction per week in English, math, science and social studies. Failure to comply could have resulted in the loss of state funding for textbooks, transportation and other items. The guidelines were a response to a claim that several Orthodox yeshivas, especially ones in Brooklyn and Manhattan, were offering little or no instruction

In 2018, state legislation gave oversight of yeshivas to the State Education Department rather than local education officials. Roughly 115,000 children attended Orthodox Jewish yeshivas across the state, officials said. “It’s always good to have state regulations and standards that are set for students to abide,” said Ari Solomon, executive director of the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway. “We’ve always taken secular and religious curric-

ulum very seriously, and we meet or exceed any regulations put forth.” Solomon said that roughly 100 students graduate from HAFTR High School annually, and 100 percent go on to college, from community college to prestigious universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He added that HAFTR, which has an early-childhood center, a lower school and a middle school, offers many Advanced Placement classes, focuses on STEM (science, technology, engi-

neering and math) education and meets the needs of students across the academic spectrum. Lawrence School District Superintendent Ann Pedersen is very familiar with the yeshivas in the Five Towns, from a couple of educational collaborations. HAFTR and Lawrence middle school eighth-graders partnered on the “Names, Not Numbers” program in the past, in which students interview Holocaust survivors, and HALB’s Shaar Lev program — conceived by Altabe — provides religious instruction to Jewish children with special needs. “The private schools in Lawrence are exceptional learning institutions,” Pedersen wrote in an email. “Over the years in Lawrence, I have gotten to know many of the staff and leadership of the private schools and seen countless examples of their successful student population.” The proposed regulations are posted on the State Education Department website, and will be published in the state register on March 30. Public comment will be accepted until May 31 and reviewed over the summer. If there are no extensive revisions, the final regulations could come before the Board of Regents in the fall.

Hewlett High School was bustling with students from schools across Long Island on March 5 for Hewlett Model Congress (HMC) XXXIV. Model Congress, as the name suggests, aims to replicate the proceedings of the United States Congress. Students practice public speaking skills with the proposal of bills in various committees. These committees range from Pop Culture to Space, Science, and Technology, ensuring that a wide range of interests are covered. HMC XXXIV marks the 34th year Hewlett High has hosted a domestic model Congress. It is a day filled with public speaking and fun events, often described as a combination of debate and color wars. The HMC Board is comiral posed of six student chairs who organized the Congress, along with the guidance of their advisers Joseph Zarodkiewicz and Deirdre Chambers. Their hard work made HMC XXXIV possible, and they were satisfied by what they achieved. “Although planning a Congress is a lot of work, it is so rewarding,” said Olivia Ginzburg, the Lower Delegate Chair of HMC XXXIV. “Seeing the looks on everyone’s faces as we went through the day was what made this whole process worth it.” Anneliese Baum, one of HMC XXXIV’s Agenda chairs, agreed. “I think this congress turned out really well! Everyone had so much fun and I heard some really amazing debaters.” One of the most valuable aspects of

Model Congress is the opportunity to interact with students from other school districts. Students from various schools including Oceanside, New Rochelle, Lawrence, East Meadow, among others, were invited to Hewlett for the event. “My favorite part of Model Congress is definitely meeting new people,” said Elizabeth Balzac, Financial Chair of HMC XXXIV. “The ‘United Model Congress’ community is very welcoming and it’s easy to get accustomed to.” The beneficial impact Model Congress creates is exemplified in the comments of the students involved. “Getting to be in Model Congress is an experience every single person will and remember for Havre appreciate the rest of their lives,” claimed Sarah Mizrachi, Assistant General Chair of HMXXXIV. “No matter your role in the club, you’ll never fail to find the opportunities to enjoy yourself more than ever or even create something for others to enjoy, whether it is a fun and intriguing debate session, a group meal where 250 kids eat in one room and get to vibe to music, or even a talent show!” “I’m really happy with how the congress went and I hope that this signifies congress starting a new leaf with new people who will create their own fun traditions,” Reagan Rawner, the General Chair of HMC XXXIV added. The legacy of Model Congress will continue to grow at Hewlett High School, with many future domestic Congresses to come.

For the fourth consecutive year, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway received accreditation by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists for its Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support program. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provides authorization for accreditation for the program, and participants learn how to effectively manage their diabetes treatment. The program is aimed at teaching best diabetes self-management practices to people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes, and those who may need education and support with managing diabetes. The self-management program consists of four on-site education sessions per year that are facilitated by an endocrinologist, pharmacist, dietitian and other expert hospital staff. Each session consists of six separate workshops that focus on a specific topic. Program topics include understanding diabetes and diabetes treatment; healthy eating; being physically active; taking medication; checking blood sugar; reducing the risk of developing other health problems; and learning to cope with stress, depression, and other concerns.

DRS celebrates positive Jewish spirit with food, music The sounds of lively music and dancing filled the building at Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva for Boys High School’s 25th annual Parent-Son Melave Malka (meal). Rabbi Yisroel Kaminetsky, the school’s principal, wrote in an email that the goal of the get together is to celebrate, “the joy, fulfillment and meaning that there is in being a Jew,” along with highlighting the “positive Jewish energy that [the Yeshiva] strives to inculcate in it’s Talmidim (students) with song divrei Torah, food and dancing.” For one night the entire yeshiva family, rabbis, parents and students, come together to celebrate those aspects of positive Jewish spirit. It began with a musical gathering in the school’s gymnasium led by Kaminetsky and the DRS band. Parents and sons sang together as videos highlighting school events from the year were show. Longtime DRS rebbe, Rabbi Aryeh Cohen was honored for his more than 20 years of service to the yeshiva. Cohen, school officials said, “shows unparalleled care for his talmidim and alumni,” and he spends many hours guiding them in various aspects of life. He has inspired countless students in the joys of being Jewish and the Torah. There was a video tribute and Cohen was presented with an award for his dedication. Two awards were given to students. The Torah Growth Award was presented to the student in each class who showed special aptitude in learning through the year. The Midot Awards were given to a student in each grade who, based on a fellow classmate vote, was recognized as having the most refined middot (explaining biblical meanings) and character. — Jeffrey Bessen

‘Impractical joker’ visits Ogden elementary By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

The red carpet was laid down outside Ogden Elementary School, students held their handmade welcoming signs and inside the building the children shouted “James Murray,” “James Murray” and then he ar rived “Mur r” from the “Impractical Jokers” television show. Murray got out of the car and began videotaping the scene with his phone as the students and adults waved and cheered hello on March 16. “We need something like this,” Ogden Principal Dina Anzalone said, not only about having a famous TV star and author visit the school but that the event created a sense of normalcy after two years of the coronavirus pandemic. Murray and his co-author Carsen Smith are promoting the first of what will be at least three books geared for kids. The first one released on March 15 is “Area 51 Interns: Alien Summer.” Murray also made appearances at Hewlett Elementary School, Woodmere Middle School and Hewlett High School last week. “Carsen and I have worked together for many, many years creating TV shows, so we both love sci-fi and adventure so we created ‘Area 51 Interns’ and Penguin has been amazing to work with and now it’s a three-book series,” Murray explained on how the books came about. Smith is a comedy writer and producer who co-founded the Goose Lodge, a speakeasy underground comedy club in Brooklyn, and works for “Impractical Jokers.” Before Murray and Smith spoke to the children in the school’s auditorium they met Ogden students fifth-graders Evan Petithomme and Jackie Soltanovich and fourth-grader Abby Fraser-Baez. All five were also interviewed by students from Hofstra University’s radio station WRHU.

Speaking about the book Smith noted that it was all written during the pandemic. “James and I would hop on the phone for five, six hours at a time working through the plot coming up with the stories and characterization, and then we would go back and forth writing chapters sending each other edits, it was pretty easy to do it virtually,” she said, adding that the next two books will be in-person projects. The idea behind the book Smith said was aiming to capture the transition of life for young people between middle school and high school. “We were trying to capture that kind of uncertainty and for lack of a better word an alien environment,” she said, noting the experiences in the book are personal ones. Being introduced to Murray was exciting for Soltanvich. “It’s not every day that you get to just meet a celebrity like someone you watch as a TV show and see James’ different types of careers like writing and acting and stuff like that it’s really, really cool,” she said, noting that when she starting reading the book that “everyone is different in the best way.” After reading the first five chapters, Fraser-Baez said she loved how the action just flew from the book and can see it as a movie. “I honestly can see the book just happening,” she said. “I made a movie in my head and honestly it’s really cool to be able to imagine everything just happening.” The characters stood out for Petithomme. “Because the characters have all these different things about them and I feel like it’s just nice, it’s awesome,” he said. Identical to the “Impractical Jokers” the book has four best friends. “I think the book is about friendship,” Murray said. “And the friendships you form as a child are your friends for life. [They] come to learn that together they can achieve anything and overcome any obstacle.”

Tree trimming in Cedarhurst Cedarhurst will have some of its trees trimmed as branches grow too close to power lines which causes safety concerns and possibly power, telephone and internet outages. PSEG-Long Island will trim trees in an effort to provide safe and reliable service across the village. The work started on March 21. No roads will be closed but the village is asking residents who live on the streets where the work will be done to move their vehicles off the streets. This will protect the vehicle and allow the trimming crews to do the job properly.

Most of the work can be done on the street, but at times the workpeople will need to enter a property to access the electric wires. They are required to proceed with care and respect and remove all of the trimmings and debris. Residents do not need to be home. Tree trimming will occur on: Carmen, Columbia, Pearsall and Washington avenues and Spruce Street. For questions about the project, contact PSEG Long Island customer service at 1-(800) 490-0025 or https://www.psegliny.com/. —Jeffrey Bessen

‘We trusted our contractor . . .’

Q. We enlarged our kitchen into our garage, taking out walls. We now have this great open space we use constantly with our two small children, and thought we were finally done, but the building inspector informed us that we had only one inspection, not all that we needed, and he can’t sign off on our permit until our architect gives him letters for each thing left un-inspected, like insulation, beams, electrical work and plumbing. We trusted our contractor, who has done work for friends and family, to get all the inspections, but apparently he never did. He told us he did, then made a false excuse that the inspectors weren’t coming into homes because of the pandemic, which the inspector said wasn’t true. So now we’re stuck, Ask The since the inspector wants Architect proof that the work follows the plans, and says that the architect should give him letters with his signature and official seal. Either that or we will need to have the contractor, who isn’t returning calls, open the walls and ceilings to prove the work was done. We dread this happening and wonder if there isn’t some onte eeper other way. What can we do?

A. Maybe someday there will be an easy way to see through walls. What you describe is so common that building authorities should come up with a better way to hold the contractor legally responsible instead of turning to the architect. A contractor’s most important tool is the phone. Your contractor could have avoided all of this. If the architect wasn’t called and didn’t see the work, it is fraud to write the letter your inspector is suggesting. You may need to open areas for either the inspector or the architect, or both, to see examples of critical points. What I often advise is that homeowners take lots of pictures of work. When taking pictures, it’s helpful to stand far enough away to see the relationship of where it is located relative to the surrounding building. I regularly see pictures so close up that I can’t tell anything about where the subject of the picture is located. So take a picture farther away, then walk closer, take another picture, then close up, where details can be examined. Each view allows a look at connections, which are extremely important, and then the conditions close up, of materials and joining techniques, such as a lack of bolts or nails. Foundations should show, progressively, an empty pit with a tape measure held to show the depth of the excavation, then width. The plumbing work must be handled by a licensed plumber, who must get the final plumbing inspection and plumbing inspector signoff. The electrician must do the same with the electrical work, and final electrical certification from a private agency. Neither your architect nor the building inspector does this. Bad reviews may get your contractor to comply, open up and repair the work if he won’t answer the phone, but you will get through this. Good luck!

to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

aving been a player and observer in the political world for many decades, I’ve gotten used to surprises. I recall endorsing then New York City Mayor Ed Koch for governor, and seeing him lose to Mario Cuomo in the primary. I worked hard to help Eliot Spitzer to become the state’s attorney general and governor, and then his political career imploded overnight. My latest puzzlement is what’s going on with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi. JERRY There is no doubt that Cuomo KREMER has gone through a very difficult time. Having to resign as governor in the middle of your third term is surely a sad experience. It would seem that the most logical next step would be to take a long vacation and start planning some meaningful activities outside of politics. Regrettably, that isn’t the case, which makes the Cuomo saga totally unpredictable. Instead of decompressing, Cuomo is

spending some of his $16 million war chest on television advertisements telling the world that he was wronged and hinting at some kind of political comeback. His argument for exoneration is that no criminal charges were brought against him in connection with the complaints made by a number of women. But it is an accepted fact in the halls of Albany that had he not resigned, the Assembly was poised to begin impeachment proceedings against him, which would probably have resulted in a finding of guilt by the State Senate. The deadline for filing petitions to run for statewide office is April 1. It’s always possible that since he has lots of money to spend, Cuomo could find a way to get on the ballot or try to run as an independent candidate. Public sentiment about his record in office shows that he is appreciated for his many accomplishments, but the majority of those polled aren’t in favor of his running for office again. Those polls, if accurate, should send him the message that for now, it’s time to retire, but Cuomo doesn’t follow a predictable path. Almost every week I meet people who

tell me that he got a raw deal, but I also meet voters who say they had enough of Cuomo, and would never support him again. If you polled the Assembly or the Senate on how their members felt about his possible return to public life, it would be hard to find anyone who was in favor of a Cuomo candidacy. Many describe him as a bully, and want no part of his dream to return to power. Many of the big political contributors have gone in a different direction, and are now writing big checks to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s campaign. But will Cuomo decide to run again? It’s anybody’s guess. Suozzi’s decision to run for governor set off another political guessing game. Despite the fact that his congressional district has been realigned, most observers agree that he could run for re-election and win. Suozzi began the year with $3 million in the bank and strong name recognition, thanks to his congressional activities. But instead of seeking a new term, he has chosen to run against Hochul, who has a reported $22 million on hand and is prepared to spend every penny of it in a

ne may be plotting a comeback, and the other may not want to be in the minority.

primary contest. Some people think Suozzi’s decision to run for statewide office is based on the likelihood that the Democratic Party’s House majority may be lost in November. Nonetheless, he has calculated that he can run a credible campaign. There isn’t much logic in politics, but it’s logical to conclude that with another challenger in the primary contest, Suozzi would have to pull off a major miracle to upset a sitting female governor. Stranger things have happened in this business, but you have to consider his race more than a long shot. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll see whether Cuomo can make some kind of political comeback with the odds stacked against him, and whether Suozzi has a secret plan to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, despite no signs, to date, of what that plan might be. But it’s the unpredictability of politics that makes the Cuomo and Suozzi sagas so interesting. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

We need to memorialize this pandemic

s the sun sails northward and we stand in the doorway known as spring, between a stark winter and a hopeful-looking summer, there is a passion to embrace life again after years of pandemic constraints. First, though, we have unfinished emotional business. As individuals and as a country, we must find a way to memorialize this loss in our lives. Now that the pandemic seems to be abating, we need to think about how we RANDI want to keep alive KREISS the memory of those who died of Covid-19 these past two years. So many closed their eyes without saying goodbye, so many took a last breath with very little comfort from loved ones and very little comforting ritual for the community of friends left behind. According to NPR, Marked By Covid, a grass-roots group, is advocating for a national day of remembrance to honor those who died. The group supports the idea of an annual event, stating that the pandemic, which touched us all, should

not be a footnote to the history of our time on earth. Janeth Nuñez del Prado, a New Mexico resident who was interviewed by NPR, was waiting for her father to visit from Bolivia when she got word that he died of the virus, alone in a hospital, on a ventilator. “It really interrupts the grieving process,” Nuñez del Prado said. “We have these rituals for a reason, because they help us heal. And in the absence of that, it’s just really, really hard.” Nuñez del Prado, a social worker and trauma therapist, is now channeling her grief into lobbying for a national Covid Memorial Day on the first Monday of March each year, as well as trying to build memorials in cities all over the country. “I know that a key to healing from trauma is to hold space, to feel what you need to feel,” she said, “and to do this in community.” She is working with Marked by Covid to support plans for a memorial. Trauma is an overused word, but there has been suffering everywhere during the past two years, and memorials would be appropriate and significant. The survivors of the Spanish flu pan-

demic of 1918 did not look back. Once it was over, they never wanted to think about it again, and so the losses were never fully acknowledged and the healing never completed. According to Nancy Bristow, author of “American Pandemic: The Lost World of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic,” doctors didn’t want to think about the loss, because it reminded them of the limitations of “modern” science. Survivors couldn’t bear to think of the awful contagion, the bodies piled outside hospitals in our big cities. And our government, under President Woodrow Wilson, didn’t want to think about the pandemic, because it drew attention away from support for World War I — which helped spread infections around the world. No one really wanted to talk or write about what it was like to live through the flu. Newspaper articles about it didn’t describe the personal stories of those who died or survived, says J. Alex Navarro, assistant director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan and one of the editors in chief of “The American Influenza Epidemic of 1918-1919: A Digital Encyclopedia.”

erhaps a day on the calendar when we stop and hold our loved ones in our hearts.

“It’s striking to me,” Navarro says. “I’ve read . . . probably thousands of newspaper articles on influenza from all these cities throughout the pandemic, and I can list off the ones that stand out, that talk about the personal tragedies of common folk, because they’re just so few and far between.” Fifty million people died around the world, and some 650,000 Americans perished here at home. Covid-19 is blowing right past those numbers, as we approach 1 million dead in America in just these two years. Everything in its own season. We have suffered and we have lost, and we have grieved. And still it is not over. But now is the time to begin planning how to best remember this pandemic. There were the patients, and the doctors who served at their own peril, and all the scientists who produced extraordinarily effective vaccines with unprecedented speed. I like the idea of a day on the calendar when we stop and hold our loved ones in our hearts. We need to remember so that we can prepare ourselves for future pandemics. We need to remember so that we can honor the people who died too soon, and heal the emotional scars of isolation and anxiety. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Please do say ‘gay’

f you have children or grandchildren, you likely think about them all the time. You imagine them smiling and laughing while running outside or playing on a swing set, or indoors, mastering the latest video game. One place we never imagine them? Cold and hungry on the street. Alone. Unsafe. Terrified. Yet 1.6 million children, teens and young adults across the country end up on the streets each year, according to the True Colors Fund. And 40 percent of them — 640,000 — identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Our society has made admirable progress when it comes to the LGBTQ community. It’s been nearly 50 years since the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. In many places across the U.S., it’s illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. And marriage equality has been the law of the land since 2015. All of that might give us the impression that homophobia is a shame of the past. But tragically, it’s very much alive today. And it especially affects the transgender community, where someone is four times more likely to be the victim of rape, sexual assault — or really, any assault — than their cisgender counterpart, according to a UCLA School of Law study conducted not decades ago, but just last year. And with what appears to be a solid

letters Finding common ground amid war To the Editor: Thanks to Scott Brinton for writing the heartfelt and informative column “War in Eastern Europe reverberates on Long Island” in the March 3-9 Herald. He captured the humanitarian essence of this tragedy and placed its global implications in our local context. Like Brinton and so many others who are appalled by the horrific scenes of death and destruction, my heart bleeds for the people of Ukraine, who are truly admirable and deserving of our support. During a time of such anxiety, bewilderment and frustration, it was quite important and much appreciated that Brinton conveyed how many Long Islanders have ties to Eastern Europe generally and Ukraine specifically, noting the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox churches in East Meadow, Uniondale and Sea Cliff. Although I was previously unaware, I have since learned there are also a num-

conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, a number of states are passing laws their legislators hope will not just walk back many of the measures that have opened the door to equality over the past decade, but run them back at full speed. One prime example is Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. If you haven’t heard of the legislation, it might be because few actually refer to it by its name. Instead, it’s deridingly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. It’s a super-vague bill that would prohibit schools from teaching kids from kindergarten through third grade about sexual orientation or gender identity that is “not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate . . . in accordance with state standards.” What is appropriate? What are the standards? They aren’t defined, which means they mean whatever whoever in power wants them to mean. DeSantis, who is expected to sign the bill into law, has defended it, saying that children at that age are too young to learn about sex. As if being LGBTQ is only about that. Sexuality and gender identity are about so many more aspects of life than sexual relations. Seeing something as abnormal is a learned behavior, not an inherent one. And there is a chance that many children will sit in classrooms with fellow students who have LGBTQ parents, if not go

home to LGBTQ parents themselves. A 2019 U.S. Census study found that 292,000 children in this country have a parent living with a same-sex partner or spouse. But for DeSantis — and Republicans like him — the fear is that diversity somehow leads to moral corruption. And Florida isn’t alone, by the way. CNN’s Giselle Rhoden has found more than 150 anti-LGBT bills floating around the legislatures of more than 30 states. No similar proposals have found their way to Albany, but that doesn't mean we shouldn’t fight this cruelty everywhere else. Not everyone is born meeting the high societal standards set for us, like being heterosexual and identifying with the gender assigned at birth. But we should celebrate diversity, not fear it. There are some great services — especially close to home — that can help those working through sexuality and gender identity issues. One that comes to mind immediately is Pride for Youth from the Long Island Crisis Center. From social activities for pre-teens with Camp PFY to Friday coffeehouse gatherings for older kids, and help services through its TransAction group in Bellmore, there's something for everyone. And they provide 24/7 support, too, for those in crisis or feeling suicidal, at (516) 679-1111. And we must not let DeSantis and others like him march us back to the societal Dark Ages.

opinions

t must be cold comfort to former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran that a recent media analysis reports that Nassau County Republican voter registration is down. She must also be disturbed that defeated Democratic district attorney candidate Todd Kaminsky won’t stand for re-election as a state senator, after he was a contributing cause of the Democrats’ loss in the last county election due to his support for state Democrats’ dangerous “no bail” law. And that news ronaLd J. probably doesn’t well with rosenberG resonate North Hempstead’s Wayne Wink, who lost the supervisor’s race to a Republican, Jennifer DeSena, a challenger who didn’t have anywhere near Wink’s name recognition in what has been a Democratic stronghold for generations. More astounding was the election of Mazi Melesa Pilip in Nassau’s 10th Legislative District, in Great Neck. This was the first time since the County Legislature was created that a Republican won a seat in the Great Neck peninsula. What this all means is that political labels, affiliations and registrations are less important than what candidates actually stand for on the issues most important to the electorate. The Nassau Repub-

lican Party stood firm on its commonsense principles during the last election cycle and spoke to voters in clear declarative language. Crime, taxes, reassessment, government lockdowns and personal choice were among the principles that most appealed to Nassau voters across the political spectrum. Nassau Republican Chairman Joseph Cairo oversaw extremely successful campaigns that focused on those issues rather than poring over spreadsheets and computer analytics tracking past voter trends. The unprecedented results speak for themselves. What does that mean for this year’s gubernatorial race? Polls suggest that Gov. Kathy Hochul may not be the sure winner that Democratic operatives are claiming she is. One recent poll should give her considerable pause, because it found that 65 percent of New York’s electorate believes the state is headed in the wrong direction. Her reception at a recent Rangers game, where the boos overpowered the public address announcer, may have been one of the more dramatic impromptu focus group responses in recent memory. Hochul has harnessed herself to a progressive movement that continues to celebrate cashless bail at a time when violent crime has surged — when staff are being attacked with knives at the Museum of Modern Art, commuters are being pushed

ov. Kathy Hochul may not be the sure winner that Democrats claim she is.

As this history unfolds before us, Brinton’s perspective and observations can continue to help Herald readers understand these connections, and other local, faith-based communities that are suffering and striving for a cessation of hostilities. Certainly readers are paying close attention to this conflict, and will be doing all we can to shore up Ukraine’s fledgling democracy so that it can eventually emergence from this crucible. As people of goodwill across Long Island and around the world pray for peace and search for ways to assist the innocent civilian victims of the vicious Russian assault, Brinton’s concise yet evocative journalism helps us find common ground and hope. JAY KORTH Lynbrook

in front of subways and retail stores are closing because they can’t withstand the repeat shoplifters. What this means is that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin could win the governor’s mansion in the very blue state of New York. In the poll that found so many New Yorkers pessimistic about the state’s direction, over half of the respondents also said they want a return of checks and balances in Albany, where progressives control the political agenda. Hochul, fearful of a primary challenge from an empowered left, believes she needs to cater to that revolutionary force if she is to survive beyond November. But New York Post columnist Bob McManus opines that the governor’s problem is more institutional. He draws comparisons of her accidental ascent to power to that of Gov. David Paterson, who took over for the disgraced Eliot Spitzer. McManus writes that Paterson “never caught traction” with either voters or legislative leaders. Hochul recently discovered just how politically malignant the progressive agenda can be when she endorsed “auxiliary housing units.” The proposal would have allowed multi-family dwellings in single-family neighborhoods, which would destroy suburbs across the state. Even her normally Democratic loyalists on Long Island quickly separated them-

selves from this destructive idea, and Hochul ruefully retreated — but like a tin can attached to a puppy’s tail, it will follow her into the autumn election cycle. Which is one more reason Zeldin is a challenger with a genuine chance to win. He comes from Long Island, which is must-win geography for any statewide candidate. It’s a voter-rich environment, and Zeldin not only knows it well, but, just as important, has the support of two savvy GOP chairmen, Joe Cairo in Nassau and Jesse Garcia in Suffolk County. Zeldin is looking to leverage strong pockets of support to energize his campaign on the Island while introducing himself to upstate Republican primary voters. He will also look to connect with disaffected voters in the five boroughs who have seen progressives enfranchise non-citizens with the right to vote. Zeldin’s advisers say he is following Alfonse D’Amato’s successful 1980s playbook by creating political building blocks one endorsement at a time. Zeldin has conservatives’ endorsement and is now heading for the GOP nomination. He is doing it at a time when taxes, crime and that progressive agenda, which is at odds with Republicans and the vast majority of non-affiliated voters, are creating a demand for change and balance. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Framework by John O'Connell

Remembering a local literary legend To the Editor: March 12 marked the 100th birthday of novelist, poet, Beat Generation member and Northport resident Jack Kerouac. It made me reread one of his best works, “On the Road.” Kerouc’s writing reminds me of the more adventurous spirit of youth. Sadly, as we get older, with more responsibilities and less free time, there are fewer journeys to take, but the ideals of Jack Kerouac continue to live in all of us. LARRY PENNER Great Neck
