Helping to feed those in need Thanksgiving meal donations are a blessing By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Volunteers in the Five Towns have teamed up with organizations such as Gammy’s Pantry, a food pantry in the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence, Rock and Wrap It Up! Of Cedarhurst, Island Harvest and the Manna Project of Long Island to help those in need this Thanksgiving, after the coronavirus pandemic heightened

food insecurity in the area in 2020. Although the problem has become less widespread than it was at the height of the pandemic, there are still an estimated 285,642 Long Islanders in need of assistance — a 26 percent increase in food insecurity since 2019 — according to Long Island Cares, an organization that serves the food insecure. On the morning of Nov. 18, volunteers from Island Har-

vest, Gammy’s Pantry, the Islip MTA Police Department, the MTA Police Department’s youth program and Dime Community Bank in Hauppauge gathered at the community center to haul donated boxes of turkey, produce, canned goods, masks and hand sanitizer into car trunks and backseats of the vehicles that took part in the drive-through event.

Welcome to the Gural JCC school fair jbessen@liherald.com

Seven area private Jewish schools elementary schools, including a few that have upper levels, took part in the Marion and Aaron Gural JCC’s first-ever Elementary School Fair on the Harrison-Kerr Family Campus in Lawrence on Nov. 18. In the upstairs ballroom of Temple Israel of Lawrence, the schools: Cahal, Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway, Hebrew Academy of Long Beach, IVDU Long Island Elementary School, Shulamith School, The Brandeis School and Yeshiva of South Shore, spread out over tables decorated with school banners and promotional materials during the two-hour fair. “We really wanted to provide an opportunity for families in the community to come together and learn about Jewish educational opportunities,” said Lisa Stein, the Gural JCC’s chief operating officer. “We felt like we were the perfect organization to be the host for that type of event.” Cahal, in Cedarhurst, “is a yeshivabased program of self-contained classes for children with learning differences from kindergarten through high school,” according to its website. HAFTR is a coeducational Modern Jewish Orthodox yeshiva that has an early childhood center, an elementary school, a middle school and a high school. “I think that we want families to know

Shulamith School FoR Girls representatives Michele Farbman, left, dean of the elementary school, and Evie Hoffman, director of elementary school admissions, at the fair. who we are, our educational philosophy and the incredible professional team that we have at HAFTR, who is ready to curate an individual education program for every single student in which they are challenged, supported and positioned to realize their potential,” said Josh Gold, the middle school principal. HAFTR has two campuses: one in Lawrence and the high school in Cedarhurst. We promote academic excellence and achievement in both Judaic studies and general studies,” Gold said, adding that it

is “a very warm environment,” and positions students to be on “the cutting edge of STEM” (science, technology, engineering and math), to realize their overall potential. HALB’s elementary school is in Woodmere, the former Number Six School, which also includes its middle school. Under the HALB banner there is also Lev Chana, the early childhood center, David Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys and Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls. DRS is also in Woodmere and

Lev Chana and SKA are in Hewlett Bay Park. Being that was the first such fair for the JCC; Stein said that beginning with the elementary level made sense. “Because of our strong early childhood center and our families are already committed and trust us, we felt like giving them an opportunity we’ve endorsed going from us and to the next stage of education would make sense and would resonant with people,” she said. The Brandeis School in Lawrence and Yeshiva of South Shore in Hewlett, both start at the lowers levels and go through eighth grade. Brandeis is a Modern Orthodox school that welcomes everyone and YOSS is an all-boys Jewish American Orthodox school. IVDU Schools, located in Brooklyn and Valley Stream, offer students 5 to 21 with special needs a comprehensive and nurturing educational environment, along with the core Judaic and general studies academics and the social and life skills needed by students. Stein said the hope is that the parents would have what she called “positive interactions,” with the schools in attendance. “We’re proud to be the communal agency, so we hope there is positive meetings between families and individual schools that they learn something new, and we hope thy learn what the JCC provides and get a better sense of opportunities that the JCC could provide to families,” she said.

YOSS recalls past, looks to the future By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

A huge swath of the outside play area was covered with folding chairs, the basketball hoop poles were decorated with balloons and the dais ran half the length of one side as Yeshiva of South Shore in Hewlett, an Orthodox Jewish boys only school, celebrated a groundbreaking of a new building and the street dedication for its founder on Nov. 21. Rabbi Benjamin Kamenetzky established the school known as YOSS in 1956, the first yeshiva on Long Island, and in the 65 years since the yeshiva opened it has grown; expanding its educational offerings and its impact, including the influence of Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky, the founder’s son. The dual celebration last Sunday attracted a huge crowd that not only included YOSS parents but also many local elected politicians, including Nassau County Executive-elect Bruce Blakeman, the first Jewish county executive in Nassau’s history. Blakeman’s family history goes back to the 1960s knowing Rabbi Benjamin Kamenetzky — who died in 2017 — when Blakeman’s father was the area’s State Assemblyman. “He was one of the most positive people I ever met in my life,” Blakeman said. “The cup was never half empty, it was always half full. No job was too tough. No task was too arduous, for Rabbi Benjamin Kamenetzky. He only knew one way to go and that straight ahead, and that’s why we have the community that we have here today.” As Blakeman and others spoke, several shovels with hard hats stood nearby for the ceremonial groundbreaking the two-story brick building with 15,

620-square-foot classrooms along with resource and e n r i c h m e n t r o o m s, s c i e n c e l a b o r a t o r i e s, a 1,200-square-foot English/Hebrew library, state-of-of the art Smartboards, a woodworking shop, an office for Cahal, the Cedarhurst-based yeshiva program for children with learning challenges, and offices. High-speed internet connectivity and an atrium connecting the lower division with the upper division for the school that goes through eighth grade. “There are 692 stories and each child has a story,” said Mordechai Kamenetzky, the school’s dean, using YOSS’s enrollment as part of the metaphor. “They need a home that meets the challenges of the 21st century.” A substantial donation from the Friedman family, Daniel and Judy of Los Angeles, will fund the construction. Ari Goodman, a board member and school parent, recalled his first meeting with Benjamin Kamenetzky roughly 13 years ago. After a brief talk, the rabbi asked for a ride to the bank, then said one more stop. It was to help a person in a similar business as Goodman, who Kamenetzky thought could use some advice. “He was always going from point A to point B,” Goodman said, “he became a friend.” Blakeman said that Benjamin, who he called a “dear friend,” had friends everywhere and knew how to cross political party lines. “He took me under his wing and he taught me a lot of things,” Blakeman said about Benjamin. “He taught me being a good Jew was not where you were but where you were going, striving to be better spiritually, trying to be a better person, trying to be a better Jew. I can tell you today this community would not be what it was, what it is and what it’s going to be without Rabbi Benjamin Kamenetzky.”

Hollywood Health Club opens in Hewlett

November 25, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

Two businessmen who had a prior relationship have entered into an ag reement that will of fer jobs to employees of Life Club in Lawrence, which is closing, and its members a “great deal” to move to the new Hollywood Health Club at 1225 Hewlett Plaza in Hewlett. Steve Diamond, founded the original Hollywood Atrium Club in Lawrence before he sold it to Stephen Katz, who rebranded it as LIFE Clubs. Katz said his main concern was to help his employees find a new home and offer his current members a great deal to switch over to the new fitness center, Diamond said.

Diamond and his partner, Paul Martin, have completely renovated the former Retro Fit location and the new club includes all new state-of-the-art equipment purchased from Life Fitness. Arsenal, Cybex and Precor apparatus, new private fitness rooms equipped with spin bikes using the Peloton app and the interactive fitness por tal known as “The Mirror,” plus new locker rooms with private steam showers and saunas, and exclusive women’sonly private workout classes. Diamond said that trainers at Hollywood undergo what he called, “an extensive training program offered by Active Life, a company who bridges the gap between fitness and healthcare,” as stated in a news release. “After seeing the rapid success and tremendous response we received from reviving our original Long Beach location, this expansion made sense,” Nevin Diamond, general manager and vice president of Hollywood Health Clubs, said in the release.

A Bronx man allegedly found to have a loaded gun was arrested after a car stop in Inwood at 11:11 p.m. on Nov. 21, Nassau police said. Near the Nassau Expressway and Burnside Ave, a 4th Precinct police officer saw a red 2010 Volkswagen commit multiple traffic infractions, and the officer stopped the vehicle. During the subsequent investigation, Dequan Smith, 24 of Prospect Avenue, a passenger in the car, was allegedly found with the firearm. Smith was arrested. The driver, not identified, was issued multiple traffic summons and released. Another passenger, also not identified, was also released from the scene. Smith was charged with second-degree criminal possession of weapon, thirddegree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. Arraigned on Nov. 22 at First District Court in Hempstead, he is in custody. Next court date is Nov. 24. –Jeffrey Bessen

To provide greater security to its residents, Hewlett Harbor installed six cameras and the same number of license plate readers in an effort to created what village officials called a “virtual gated community.” The small – 1,500 residents – but upscale community has one of the lowest crime rates in Nassau County, officials said, however the roughly 450-house village has been, at times, the target of car thieves and some lesser mischievous activity. “Our goal is to do whatever we can to make sure that our residents and their property remain safe and secure,” Mayor Mark Weiss stated in a news release, noting that Hewlett Harbor was the first Five Towns village to engage a private village security patrol to supplement the work of Nassau County’s 4th Precinct police. Through a relationship with doorbell security camera company Ring, residents were encouraged to install the devices to create a network of resident-controlled doorbell cameras that could help police identify those engaged in what Weiss called “suspicious behavior.” In 2020, the village began to install the license plate readers. Trustee Gil Bruh noted that the LPRs were credited in the capture of a nationwide burglary ring breaking. Trustee Tom Cohen said that once privacy concerns were addressed the cameras were deployed. “The goal here is to allow our security team to witness suspicious activity as it is

Anyway, that was it for me and soccer until this past year when our 10-year-old grandson, Noah, emerged as a soccer star and invited me to watch him and his team play. From the sidelines (so close to the field that I spent most of the game praying the ball wouldn’t come near me) I sat in a beach chair (from which getting up was yet another sport unto itself) along with his parents, his siblings, Eliana and Ezra, his nana and his Waldman grandparents. We were joined by a variety of parents (and grandparents) many of whom, based on the directions, instructions, orders, commands, guidance and directives hurled onto the field, must have been either a retired soccer coach or a Marine drill sergeant.

Our Noah’s team was called Force, which I at first thought meant all members were “forced” to join, but I soon learned that each boy and girl loved being part of the team and loved playing the game. I watched as Noah learned sportsmanship, including caring for, and about, injured players on both team. I Watched him develop confidence and an increasingly positive self-image. Whether, s u c c e s s f u l l y p l ay i n g defense or offense or being a goalie (and wearing the converted green goalie gloves) he was clearly learning trust in his teammates, faith in himself, selfreliance and self-control. With every game, he was demonstrating an understanding of teamoldman work and the courage to run with the ball and charge ahead. He was mastering the skill of strategy and decisionmaking; of knowing when to pass and when to shoot, when to kick and when to throw; and experiencing the thrill of being the star as well as the satisfaction of letting the next guy (or gal) shine. Watching him race back and forth was watching a little boy being transformed into a young man; watching someone realize that he was part of an effort bigger than himself as others relied on him to share his individuality with the group as the group worked collectively to highlight his individuality. Yup, on that soccer field, our Noah was not only learning, he was teaching: teaching that team sports played right, is more than playing, it’s a serious lesson in character development and good choices, and that all that running towards a goal is part of achieving the greater goal of making great kids into great people.

Hewlett High School students Rachel Halpert, a junior, and freshmen Sam Abramovich, David Kushnirsky and Ethan Silver, along with Woodmere Middle School students Ben Abramovich, Shayna Silver and Sophia Abramovich spent Nov. 11 serving lunch to staff at St. Mary’s Children’s Hospital in New Hyde Park. Keyfood in Valley Stream donated the food. Last year, during the huge Covid quarantine, the same families sent food for the

parents who were stranded in the hospital, where their children were patients. The Abramovichs have conducted a toy for St Mary’s the past five years. During Covid the last two years were done through wish lists, said Irina Abramovich, who called the hospitals a “special place.” –Jeffrey Bessen

more holiness into the world. Hanukkah is the time to make use of the freedom of religion the Maccabees brought us, by searching out ways to bring more holiness into our lives and light to those around us. How can we spread the light of holiness? Ultimately it means walking the walk and talking the talk – living morally and charitably; cleaving to the community; working towards Tikkun Olam the betterment of the world. We can start spreading the light with a simple literal act: lighting our Chanukiot and placing them in the window. In doing so we remind our neighbors and ourselves of the mitzvah of dedication to holiness.

Although a relatively minor festival in the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah has become one of our most popular celebrations. It touches on many wonderful themes – religious freedom, fighting evil, the rededication of our Temple, the spreading of light. There is one theme I find particularly compelling and helpful in understanding the Jewish sense of humanity: It is an interesting rabbinic axiom in the Talmud, Masechet Shabbat 21b. It states: “One should always go up in holiness and not go down in holiness These words come from an ancient rabbinic argument about the Chanukiah, the Hanukkah menorah. The basic law of Hanukkah is simply to light a lamp in the window. Originally, our ancestors placed a single lamp or torch, in front of their houses. This evolved into placing a lamp in the window, which became Jewish law. When artisans tried to beautify the festival they made eight branched menorahs. Once the eight

Before the roughly 200 families strode through the Stewart Avenue entrance of the Mark Ramer Chesed Center at the headquarters of the Leon Mayer Fund in Hewlett, Gabriel Boxer, who heads Kosher Response, a charitable program founded by the Hewlett resident, obtained up to eight pallets full of toys, West Hempstead resident Sam David, who runs King Contracting had his trucks pick up the toys and then volunteers readied the toys for distribution on Nov. 21. “It was open to the clients, I messaged local organizations, the JCCRP, the Gural JCC,” Boxer said, as he stood outside that Sunday shortly before the families began coming to what he said was something he organized in only a few days. The Hanukkah gift giveaway was also done in honor of Rabbi Simcha Lefkowitz, who runs the Leon Mayer Fund, and was hospitalized last week. Calling toy companies nationwide, Boxer, who is also known as the Kosher Guru because of his background in the restaurant industry, received 5,000 toys from

Auldey Toys and DGL Toys that were then brought from New Jersey to Hewlett by David. “I saw a need and I have the trucks,” David said as his two boys, Ruben, 7, and Isaac, 5, ran around playing with Nerf guns. “It’s about giving back. Just teaching the next generation to give back.” Among the local volunteers and volunteers from the National Conference of Synagogue Youth, there was Ryan Arstark, a Merrick resident and junior at JFK-Bellmore High School, who volunteered with other members of JSU, a culture club at the school that offers community service opportunities to students. Calling volunteering a “mitzvah,” which is a good deed, Arstark said: “I get to connect to my Jewish heritage and culture,” and added that though he and his family are not notably observant, “It’s nice to get involved in the culture around it and help out that community.” Along with the positive vibes from volunteering, the volunteers were fed as later on Esther Gerassi and Miriam Wainer Gerassi of David's Famous Pizza of Cedarhurst brought pizza for everyone.

NASSAU HERALD — November 25, 2021

By JEFFREY BESSEN

Spiriting through Hawk pride and Open House Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School joined together for another extremely eventful week. With the school year under way, classes are progressing, extracurricular activities are sprouting, sports teams are back on the court, and school spirit is building. The week began with an energetic School Spirit Day where all HAFTR High students were able to show off and celebrate their school pride. Then, as the week came to an end, HAFTR held its annual Open House where prospective students and parents were invited to come and tour the high school to learn about everything HAFTR has to offer. To kick off the week with the buzz of school spirit, students dressed up in their favorite HAFTR apparel to celebrate Spirit Day. Students of all grades walked the halls in their HAFTR jerseys, shirts and sweatshirts. The unified and excited energy in the building was palpable,

and culminated in a schoolwide pep rally. At the rally, students and faculty recognized the athletic achievements of HAFTR sports teams, including HAFTR 2 0 2 1 g r a d u a t e, J a c o b Steinmetz, who was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks. All athletic teams were announced, and with each announcement, the cheers roared. Steinmetz and HAFTR faculty took part in a special video presentation, a highlight of the program. At the close of the event, the school mascot, the yra HAFTR Hawk, made a guest appearance, dancing in the center of the gym and getting everyone energized. At Open House, prospective students and their parents were given a welcome package as they entered the packed auditorium. Associate Principal, Dr. Josh Wyner, welcomed

everyone to the event and described how students reach their potential at HAFTR. He then introduced Principal, Naomi Lippman, who spoke about HAFTR’s outstanding academics and warm, inclusive school culture. She was followed by Rabbi Yitzi Riselsheimer, dean of Judaic studies, and keynote student speaker Abby Rabinowitz, HAFTR senior, who shared her g rowthful experiences in her four years at the high school. She spoke about the warmth she experiences on a daily basis, and the eidel nurturing environment created here, which allows for all students to excel. Rabinowitz discussed her challenging, yet enjoyable dual curriculum encompassing both general and Judaic studies, as well as her love for partaking in all of the diverse extracurricular activities

HAFTR Highlights

HAFTR has to offer. Attendees were given a tour of the school building, and were able to see the decorated classrooms, newly renovated gym, science lab, state of the art STEM lab, art studio, fabrication lab, media center, and more. The event concluded with a beautiful collation, where students and parents were able to enjoy delicious refreshments as they scanned the artwork and other displays surrounding the room. Prospective students were able to get a true glimpse of what being a student at HAFTR is like, and see samplings of all of the amazing opportunities HAFTR has to offer. We hope everyone enjoyed Spirit Day and had a great time at the Open House! HAFTR looks forward to many more productive weeks with exciting activities for students and the entire community.

May Love & Light Fill Your Home & Heart at Hanukkah!

Living alone: good or Bad? Some people love living alone -no parent to gripe about what you didn’t do. No spouse to give you “the look” when you’ve left your dirty clothes on the floor. No kids to wake you up when you want to sleep late. No roommate to disturb you when you want to be left alone. To top it off, living with someone who knows all your flaws makes it hard for you to maintain the delusion that you’re the top banana. Many people who live with someone dream about a day when they‘ll be able to live alone. What a relief it’ll be! Nobody on their case, telling them to clean up their mess, criticizing them for what they didn’t do, noticing all their bad habits. In short, no one likes to be nagged or seen naked in their worst moments. Sounds good … but here’s the rub. It turns out that many people who live alone discover that when nobody is on their case, they don’t do well. They let things slide. They put off doing what they know they should be doing. They feel lonely but find it hard to admit. Even for workaholics

or perfectionists, living alone can create problems because they have difficulty knowing when to chill out, switch activities or tell themselves enough is enough. So what’s a person who’s living alone to do? My answer may surprise you! I’m recommending you talk to yourself out loud. But not just with one voice. With two. No, I’m not advocating a multiple personality disorder. I’m advocating having inda dialogues between the dif ferent parts of you until you come to a satisfactory conclusion. Imagine this constructive dialogue for a slacker: “Damn, I only have one clean underwear in my drawer.” “Yup, you’re right; you gotta do the laundry.” “I got too much to do, I don’t feel like it.”

“Too bad, you still gotta do it.” “But I hate doing the laundry.” “Well then, wait one more day and see if the laundry does itself. If it doesn’t, you better get a move on.” “Yeah, I know. You’re right.” “Glad you appreciate having me around.” I m a g i n e t h i s c o nstructive dialogue for a perfectionist: “I can’t leave the house u n t i l eve r y t h i n g ’s i n order.” apadin “Chill out; the house looks fine.” “But I didn’t vacuum or dust today.” “Do it later. Your house is okay; it doesn’t have to be perfect.” “But you know I like things to be perfect.” “That’s why you need me around to remind you that good enough is good enough.” “You’re right. Thanks. You saved

Person to Person

me from myself, once again.” Dialogues such as these voiced out loud (remember, nobody’s around to hear them) don’t make you crazy. They keep you from going crazy. They let you be both the nudger and the nudgie, the whipper and the whippee, nudging yourself toward better behaviors, away from behaviors that lead to less desirable outcomes. Whether you’re living alone or with another, constructive internal dialogues help you move forward in the very best way!

NASSAU HERALD — November 25, 2021

continued from front page the school calendar. Though the decision was disheartening to those who proposed a change, they have not given up on the effort. Recently, nearly 100 members of the collective wrote a letter to fellow residents, asking them to sign an online petition in support of adding Eid to the calendar. The petition, created by collective member Dr. Amara Mallik, a district parent and Shahnaz Mallik’s daughter, had nearly 800 signatures as the Herald went to press. “We are not asking for special consideration,” the Eid Collective wrote on their latest proposal, which can be found on the petition link. “Instead, we are asking the district to honor its diversity, equity, and inclusion statements by giving ALL students the right to practice their faith traditions, worry-free, with a day off from school.” The Muslim population of Nassau County has grown by .83 percent in the past 10 years, according to the Public Religion Research Institute. In its inaugural 2020 Census of American Religion, the Institute found that just over 27,000 of 1,357,000 county residents are Muslim. Collective members point to the district’s shared vision and core values listed on its website, which include valuing diversity and inclusion and cre-

What are the Muslim Eid holidays? Every year, the Eid holidays fall about 11 days earlier than the year before because the Islamic calendar follows a lunar calendar. They occasionally occur over summer vacation or on a weekend. Eid al Fitr is on a weekday in May in 2022 and in April in 2023, while Eid al Adha falls on weekends in July 2022 and June 2023.

HasEEna Mooppan, a school district resident, spoke at the Nov. 17 Board of Education meeting about adding the Eid holidays to the school calendar. ating a learning environment in which students can be respected despite their individual differences. “It’s one thing where you put it the language of all these policies,” Sahar Hussain, a Collective member and a parent of three district students, said, “but it’s another thing when you actually put it into action to show commitment.” Adding Eid to the school calendar would make a positive impact by improving inclusivity, awareness, equity, diversity and tolerance at district schools, Hussain said. The Hewlett-Woodmere Board of

Education has said it would revisit the proposal to add Eid to the 2022-23 calendar at its Jan. 12 work meeting. “We are residents of this community, and we can’t continue to be dismissed,” Dr. Mallik said. “Our concerns matter, and so do our holidays.” To read the letter written by the District 14 Eid Collective, go to https://bit. ly/3xcKDtk. Have an opinion on adding the Eid holidays to the school calendar? Send a letter to jbessen@liherald.com.

Eid al Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, when Muslims fast during the day, spend time with other members of the community and do charitable acts. To celebrate Eid al Fitr, many Muslim families say a morning prayer and share a feast. Children receive gifts as rewards for good deeds during Ramadan. Eid al Adha, which follows Eid al Fitr, marks the end of the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and many families gather to reflect on values and sacrifice. Source: Shahnaz Mallik

Isles fans raise the roof on their new ‘Barn’ UBS Arena opening ends a 20-year battle for team’s home base By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

Islanders fans from across Long Island made the pilgrimage on Saturday to the team’s new home at UBS Arena in Elmont. Despite a disappointing game result — the Islanders lost to the Calgary Flames 5-2 — fans were elated to finally have a home for their favorite hockey team after years of uncertainty, recreating the exuberant cheering that so defined games at Nassau Coliseum, known affectionately as “The Barn.” The $1.1 billion arena at Belmont Park already means a great deal to fans who have watched the team through years when the Nassau Coliseum fell into disrepair and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn offered obstructed seating. The fanbase survived rumors of the team’s move to Quebec City or Kansas City in the 1990s and 2000s and has STeven finally been Ferraro rewarded with an Islanders fan arena that pays homage to both them and the players of yesteryear. “I’m 26 years old, and I’ve been waiting my entire life to see this building open,” Steven Ferraro, of Rockville Centre, said. “It was the Lighthouse and then whatever after, but the [new] building [is] absolutely fantastic, just gorgeous.” Ferraro said his favorite aspect of the structure so far is the Heineken Terrace above the main entrance, saying it’s unusual to have clublike atmosphere at a hockey game. The late John Kempf was remembered at the game by his wife and son, Christine and Sean Kempf, who carried around a cardboard cutout of him. A detective in the Suffolk County Police Department, John died in April 2020 after a battle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease — a rare degenerative brain disorder. During his tough fight, Kempf got to speak to his all-time favorite Islander, John Tonnelli, on the phone. “It means everything to be here,” Sean Kempf said. “[My father] was a lifelong fan, and he passed that down to us.” Sean also said that his father was a huge fan of both Zach Parise and Zdeno Chara and would have been blown away if he had seen them both acquired by the Islanders in the off-season. Mark Martinez, of Levittown, said he became an Islanders fan along with his school friends when the team visited Summit Lane Elementary School when they were children. “When we were little, tickets were cheap and we would go to every game, and now we still go to every game. It’s a part of our friendship now,” Martinez said. In the upper deck, signs with the logos of Islanders fan meetup groups from San

Diego to the United Kingdom were placed above the raucous Section 329 crowd. The section, carried over from the Coliseum, serenades the team with soccer-style chants and drum playing throughout the game. The much-touted low roof of the building traps the noise, giving amazing moments like when the crowd sang along with Nicole Raviv during the national anthem. There were glimpses of what the atmosphere can be like when the team gets going, like when Richard Panik laid the first big hit or when the referees announced Brock Nelson’s first goal. Superfans Jake Basile and Nicholas Constantinidis, from Plainview, came to the game carrying cardboard cutouts of Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech’s face.

UBS Arena opens Nov. 20 to much fanfare years ago, now even selling merchandise to the over 8,000 followers of their Instagram page, “Bathtubjake.” “A lot of guys from the Barn days were kind of concerned about this not being home, but it really felt like it tonight,” Basile said. “This is genuinely a dream come true. It’s so surreal. The atmosphere was great. Not the result we wanted from the game, but the arena was absolutely amazing,” Constantinidis said. “It

felt like this is ours, this is our amazing, 21st-century arena. We finally joined the club.” Co-owner Jon Ledecky, who purchased the team with business partner Scott Malkin in 2016, spoke to and took pictures with fans outside the arena before the game. “You can hear the fans are so excited and they’re saying, ‘Thank you,’ which is great, but we’re saying it back, because without them and their support, this building doesn’t happen,” Ledecky said.

It’s a blessing of a Thanksgiving in the Five Towns

November 25, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

continued from front page part, lining up in either vehicles or at the walk-through pantry at the front of the building. Volunteers helped guide vehicles in through the center’s parking lot entrance on Lawrence Avenue, where six cars and SUVs at a time were packed with donations before heading out onto Mott Avenue. The process took about an hour, and 60 leftover kosher meals were donated to the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC’s Rina Shkolnik kosher food pantry in Cedarhurst. The Gammy’s Pantry turkey giveaway was described by Far Rockaway resident Lola Davis as “a blessing.” Norma Alicea, a local bus driver and a Queens resident, added, “Even when we work, sometimes ends just don’t meet, so it comes at a good time.” Sasha Young, the director of Gammy’s Pantry, opened it in 2018 with her daughters, Alexandra and Alexis Acosta, to keep her own mother’s kind and generous nature alive in the community, Young said. Since then she has made many meaningful friendships and gained a sense of purpose through volunteering. “Now, three years later, we have over 4,000 families registered, and will be helping to provide meals to over 800 of them for Thanksgiving,” Young said. “I am extremely grateful to everyone that volunteers.” Residents of Inwood and surrounding areas were also welcomed to a Turkey Giveaway, hosted by the Manna Project of Long Island, an organization that supports communities in need, at St. John’s Baptist Church, in Inwood, last Saturday and again on Monday. More than 100 families were served food, and 74 turkeys were given away over the course of two days. “It’s truly amazing how everyone is coming together to support the families in our community during these turbulent times,” Yvette Hester, founder and CEO of the Manna Project, said.

The Five Towns Community Center is a headquarters for giving this season: Gammy’s Pantry was set to hand out more turkeys and hams there on Tuesday, and Rock and Wrap It Up!, a poverty-combating nonprofit founded by Cedarhurst resident Syd Mandelbaum, planned to hold its 30th annual Thanksgiving Feast there on Thanksgiving morning. Last year, due to Covid restrictions, the Rock and Wrap It Up! meals were takeout-only, instead of the usual sitdown dinner at St. John’s Baptist Church in Rockaway Beach. This year, the RWU Feast will take place at the community center, where masking and social distance rules

will apply, or diners have the option of taking a food-filled bag with them. Either way, the organization plans to feed nearly 1,000 people. Mandelbaum said he appreciated the community center, as well as local restaurants, such as Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Lawrence, Friendlier Restaurant & Pizza in Woodmere and those who have volunteered and donated to help support his organization’s event, including the Franklin Early Childhood Center in Hewlett. “It’s a blessing to have so many volunteers from our local community,” Mandelbaum said. “It takes a village to feed a village.”

Specializing in: • Interior/Exterior Painting • Kitchens Cabinets • Deck Renovations

A. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about levels of purification and, depending on the source of the information, like an advertisement instead of research reports, the facts are unclear. I couldn’t tell anyone, definitively, what works best, or even the specifics as to why, only that there are systems that are required and units that do have benefits for employers onte eeper and homeowners, according to industry reports. For example, it almost always comes up during the design phase of offices and retail spaces that the owner wants to put in a bottled-water cooler instead of a drinking fountain, but the plumbing code, which is a law, states that two drinking fountains or a dual unit, the high and low kind, are required to be installed. (The reason for the low drinking fountain is to avoid discrimination, along with many other regulations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into federal law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990.) A bottle station is nice to have but not required. Water purification will be a healthy solution for your employees and family, since it removes chlorine, sediments and multiple trace minerals. There are many different types of purifiers on the market. For commercial purposes, consider a cartridge-type purifier specific to your commercial space, and for a residence, a whole-house system such as the ones from PurifiedSolutions.net, which use a seven-stage reverse-osmosis process. Just remember, these systems all require the replacement of filters, so factor in replacement costs so you aren’t surprised later. As for the bigger question, air purification, it is a much broader and more questionable issue, since different systems filter air in different ways, and even though advertisements tout all the wonderful particulates that can be removed, virus particles aren’t necessarily one of them. Smoke from cigarettes and dust have a much larger mass, and are more easily removed with high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters than bacterial or viral-laden particles. Even though microscopic-sized allergens can be removed, unless they are treated with either damaging light or chemical containment, just catching the allergens doesn’t necessarily get rid of them. Make sure you find out what the filtration unit will do from an independent testing source report before spending the money on one. Recent studies do show the workplace benefits for having enhanced ventilation and filtration. Some 90 percent of maintenance costs are for keeping people productive at work, increasing profits by reducing infection, sickness and missed days by employees. Choose systems wisely and it will benefit you. Good luck!

OWA_GotClutter_BW_Bold

Q. I saw an article in a magazine about how I may be able to add air and water purifiers in my office to minimize sickness and infections. Is this for real? Can air purifiers limit things like Covid, and does it pay to put in a full water purifier instead of just having a bottled-water cooler station, even in my home or in my office (for my employees)?

he Event,” a 2015 found-footage documentary by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, opens with black-and-white images of mostly men marching in August 1991 through the streets of Leningrad, in the then Soviet Union, overturning a trailer and grabbing all manner of furniture to erect hastily constructed barricades. Worry was etched on the protesters’ faces. People had assembled in Leningrad’s central Palace Square and surrounding streets to stop an attempted coup d’état that, SCoTT they believed, was radiating from MosBRINToN cow, USSR’s capital, across the land. “The Event” is a hopeful but strangely haunting film that I watched last week on Zoom. Hofstra University’s Department of Comparative Literature, Languages and Linguistics and the History Department presented it, with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Ben Rifkin, a Hofstra professor of Russian. I wanted to see the film because in August 1991 I was a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Bulgaria, a Soviet satellite nation for 45 years, from the end of World War II through 1990, when it finally gained its freedom and turned to democracy. I cannot express the

chilling effect the coup attempt had on many Bulgarians, who worried about a sudden return to hardline communism. I wondered what, precisely, had happened in Moscow and other Soviet cities from Aug. 18 to 21, 1991, as the coup unfolded. I had never seen images of it before. The good people of Leningrad were concerned that Soviet Armed Forces tanks might roll against their city, and a sea of tens of thousands of people rallied, placing themselves in mortal danger to preserve the democratic reforms enacted under Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The fear of a possible attack on Leningrad was not irrational. Eight communist hardliners calling themselves the Committee on the State of Emergency, and various factions within the Soviet military, were behind the putsch, seeking to halt the impending breakup of the Soviet Union that would give sovereignty to its 15 outlying republics. Soviet tanks, in fact, rolled into Moscow, where tens of thousands of demonstrators stood in their way. Among them was Boris Yeltsin, the man who succeeded Gorbachev as president of Russia when the Soviet Union dissolved in December 1991. I was on a train somewhere outside Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital, with my then fiancée, Katerina, who was born and raised in Sofia, when we first heard the news of the coup attempt. Katerina’s face turned sullen. What

would we do if it succeeded? Most Americans cannot understand the fear of the then Soviet Union that many, if not most, Eastern Europeans carried with them in the backs of their brains. They risked limb and life to secure their freedoms from the USSR in the late 1980s and early ’90s. They stood in solidarity, marching en masse in their capitals’ squares, demanding sovereignty. Then, seemingly in an instant, all their hard-won reforms appeared to be in jeopardy. If Bulgaria lost its newly won democratic freedoms to the communists, would the old-school apparatchiks “cleanse” Bulgaria of any American “sympathizers”? In that case, anyone who had had contact with an American like me would have been in grave danger of just disappearing. These were not wild conspiracy theories. They were valid questions based on nearly five decades of iron-fisted Soviet rule. Katerina and I planned an escape route to the U.S. through Greece if the coup held, which, thankfully, it did not. We were in our mid-20s at the time. We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, living, peacefully, on Long Island for the past 28 years, returning every few years to Sofia. Bulgaria remains a democracy to this day. The Soviet coup plotters were not especially well organized, according to various

reports, and most of the SAF military was not a party to the conspiracy. It’s said that the plotters spent most of the three days of the coup drunk. Seven of the eight organizers were imprisoned, and one committed suicide. Ilya Vinitsky, chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, was among the panelists last week. He was 22 and living in the Soviet Union at the time of the coup. It was a seminal moment in his life, a point of demarcation — there was life before the coup, and after. Now he asks his students, “Have you ever felt you lived through a historical moment?” Yes, I would respond, more than once. Most recently was the disorganized insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, when thousands of pro-Trump rioters besieged our very seat of democracy to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election — that is, to attempt to overthrow our nation’s duly elected president, Joe Biden. Having lived through such a coup attempt while in a foreign land, I never imagined one here, particularly not one as violent as that of last January. Democracy is clearly a fragile thing. It requires an active, engaged citizenry that respects the rule of law. If it is not respected, then it must be enforced.

Year of wonder, one Thanksgiving to the next

ast Thanksgiving we dined alone. I’m remembering an over-roasted turkey leg with a side of anxiety for me, a wedge of spinach pie for the vegetarian, hold the Thanksgiving cheer. We tried not to make too much of the day. We were veterans of isolation by then, still months away from our first vaccine. To see our kids and grandkids, someone would have had to risk flying, and the infection rates were daunting. Nevertheless, we watched millions RANDI of people choosing KREISS to travel, weaving through airport lines and hoping for the best. Spikes and surges followed. Sorry for the ruminating, but sometimes you must go back to appreciate how far you’ve come. A few months after Thanksgiving, our son and grandson caught Covid. We missed birthdays, anniversaries, proms and graduations. We were lucky; the nightly news featured Covid crises cascading across the country. Who will ever forget the pictures of refrigerator trucks parked outside New York City hospitals?

Today (and I won’t say fast forward, because it wasn’t), all of us have had vaccines and boosters. We’re all back to our jobs. Kids are back in school. As I swayed from despair to hope and back to trepidation, I coped, and that feels like enough. This Thanksgiving we will sit down with our family to start reweaving the ties that have stretched thin over the months of this pandemic. I have often written about gratitude for the small things that charge our days with interest and pleasure. This year my gratitude is singular, profound and unending. I am so thankful to the researchers and scientists and companies and governments and leaders who took on the virus and dug in for the fight. There were missteps and political machinations and failures along the way, but the development of vaccines, 90-plus percent effective, in only 11 months has been the stunning achievement of our lifetime. When we encountered a novel coronavirus transmitted easily through the air by breathing, talking and coughing, the World Health Organization said it did not expect a vaccine to become available in fewer than 18 months. Many virologists have said that the development of a safe and effective vac-

cine within 11 months was an extraordinary achievement. Please read “A Shot to Save the World,” by Gregory Zuckerman. Zuckerman tells the story of the unlikely heroes who worked together and separately, driven by the mission to find a vaccine. He describes the false starts and missteps, but also all that went right as researchers took on the challenge of their lives. It required unprecedented devotion, selflessness, fierce dedication to the job and a vision of success that transcended any one person’s ambition. It is a thrilling story. One of the salient points Zuckerman addresses is the idea that the new vaccines are too “experimental.” He says these discoveries are not one-day wonders, but blocks of research that came together over many years. They found daylight in the time of the pandemic because of the money and dedication and leadership that supported the effort. The work on AIDS informed this medical moon shot, and the Covid vaccines will inform research going forward. Zuckerman tells the story of Jason Schrum, the Moderna scientist who had worked at the company for only a short time. He came up with the actual modifica-

his year my family will gather again, and my gratitute is profound and unending.

tion to the mRNA molecule that is currently used in Moderna’s vaccine, Zuckerman writes. “That modification is the one that BioNTech uses also. It’s not the one from Katalin Karaka and Drew Weissman at the University of Pennsylvania. They’re really pioneers, and I’m not sure we would have these vaccines without them.” Zuckerman writes that not enough attention has been paid to the Chinese scientist who struggled in the early days of the pandemic to share the genetic sequence of the virus. “The guy’s a hero,” he writes. “He risked so much …” I thank them all, from the doctors and nurses to the supermarket workers to the teachers and parents of young children, to the bench researchers who put in the hours, day after day and month after month. This year at our Thanksgiving, there will be a too-big turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. Leaves and grains for the vegetarian. We will hug and kiss our kids and grandkids, feeling safe enough with our jabs and boosters. Then we will feast on my apple cranberry crumble with a topping of gratitude for this country and countries everywhere where scientists are educated, supported and honored for their work.

UBS Arena is a win-win for Long Island

he social media posts generated by Long Islanders at the very first Islanders game at the new UBS Arena, the linchpin in a $1.3 billion transformation of Belmont Park, came fast and furious on Saturday, showing an excitement not seen since the Islanders’ four straight Stanley Cup wins in the early ’80s. The state-of-the-art arena is indeed a crown jewel of the New York metropolitan area sports scene. “Today is a monumental day for New York and the Islanders as we cut the ribbon on the world-class new UBS Arena,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said last week. “This is the first step in the newly redeveloped Belmont Park, which will serve as an internationally recognized destination for sports, entertainment, retail and hospitality.” It was only a few years ago that the

home of the Islanders was a real question mark. The team had moved out of the Nassau Coliseum in the Hub for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and Long Island fans largely hated the venue, not only because of the distance they had to travel for games — it could be a four-hour round trip from points out East to Brooklyn and back — but also because the venue was made not for hockey, but for basketball. The new UBS Arena, finished on time and on budget, was constructed specifically for the Islanders, in Elmont, on Nassau County’s border with Queens, making it convenient for hockey fans from both Long Island and New York City. At the same time, the revitalization of Belmont Park is, no doubt, a boon for Long Island. The project, which will also include a 350,000-square-foot entertain-

LIRR, NICE Bus move toward greener future

he Long Island Rail Road and Nassau Inter-County Express Bus are making significant strides to reduce their carbon footprints, with the LIRR testing battery-powered trains on its Oyster Bay branch to replace the diesel locomotives that have rumbled across the North Shore in the past, and NICE planning to bring six electric buses online to replace compressed-natural-gas models. While on the electrified portion of the Oyster Bay branch, the LIRR trains run on the third rail. When they reach the non-electrified portion, they switch to battery power. At the same time that NICE adds the

electric buses, it will switch all 150 vehicles in its paratransit fleet to electric. Excellent! All of this was discussed last Friday during an hour-long talk on public transportation at Vision Long Island’s annual Smart Growth Summit, at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. We can only say bravo to Phil Eng, the LIRR president, and Jack Khouz, CEO of NICE Bus, for demonstrating a commitment to the environment by moving away from dirty fossil-fuel transportation to electric rail and bus lines. Diesel trains are especially awful for the environment, using one of the dirtiest of fuels. Diesel is also among the most car-

ment and retail complex, a 250-room hotel and a community center in the future, is expected to create 10,000 jobs and generate $2.7 billion in economic activity when all is said and done. By 2024, the project is projected to sustain 3,200 full-time jobs, produce $858 million in annual economic activity and generate tens of millions of dollars in new yearly tax revenue for the region. We recognize that not everyone in Elmont is happy. Local residents have said they worry about increased traffic caused by the arena. Planners, however, have worked to mitigate traffic, building a new Long Island Rail Road station in Elmont, the first new full-time station in 50 years. Overall, the UBS Arena is a win-win for Long Islanders, whether or not you’re an Islanders fan.

letters Many thanks on Thanksgiving To the Editor: During this season of gratitude, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to all our neighbors who make helping others a priority in their lives. Whether responding to the devastation caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida, offering relief after the destructive home fires that occur nearly every day in Nassau and Suffolk counties or supporting others who need extra aid during Covid-19, our neighbors raise their hands to help in countless ways. Every day I am humbled by our Red Cross volunteers who share their time to help the most vulnerable prepare for and recover from life-changing disasters in their communities. And when needed, these selfless people put their lives on hold for weeks to lend a hand far from home after relentless hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and historic wild-

cinogenic substances on the planet, according to numerous federal agencies. Diesel trains simply shouldn’t exist in the 21st century. The LIRR began testing battery-powered trains on the Oyster Bay branch in April. Let’s hope the eight-month test period is successful, so the other three diesel branches — Montauk, Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma — can become fully electrified as well. Of course, we must ask ourselves how the electricity to power our trains and buses is being generated — from fossilfuel power plants or renewable resources such as solar, wind and geothermal? Renewable is the way forward.

opinions

fter watching a boring sci-fi movie, I stared at the blinking orange hand signal outside the Lynbrook movie theater, waiting to cross heavily trafficked, four-lane Peninsula Boulevard. The white stick figure flashed, the seconds counted down to zero, and I found myself halfway across the road, wondering if this would be how I would die. I had just undergone my fourth knee surgery a few weeks before, and a fullleg brace and crutches were doccristinA ArroYo tor’s orders. The first time I had my roDriGUeZ ACL swapped for a cadaver ligament, I was a first-year doctoral student in industrial and organizational psychology, more than happy to return to class in person two weeks post-surgery, against doctor’s orders. “At least it’s your leg that’s the problem, and not your brain,” my program chair said by way of welcoming me back. Not only was this statement ableist in that it dismissed the worth of neurodivergent people, but also it showed a lack

of understanding in our leadership and institutions of what it means to live with or be a person with a disability. “I no longer want the disabled population to be an afterthought,” Nadia Holubnyczyj, the first person in a wheelchair to run for the Nassau County Legislature, said during this fall’s campaign. With the founding of the county’s new disability-awareness advisory group, she called for government “to shift their entire mindset, their language, planning and execution.” Indeed, my temporary mobility disability didn’t only affect my leg, but also changed my relationship with the world, and vice versa. First, I was following a pain management schedule that included prescription opioids, which affect memory, focus and cognitive speed. When you’re hugging a toilet bowl between fits of vomiting or falling asleep from chemically induced fatigue three times a day, it’s difficult to decide whether Edward Lawler or John Stacey Adams best explains reactions to pay inequity. Second, the cognitive labor of navigating a world not built for you, and even

temporary mobility issue changed my relationship with the world, and vice versa.

Letters fires out West. I am also grateful for our partners who share a common purpose and community spirit to connect more people with critical humanitarian support. And our financial supporters allow the Red Cross to deliver emergency relief 24/7, 365 days a year. A final word of thanks to our first responders — police, fire and EMS — whom we are proud to support as they protect and assist our communities every day. Wishing you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Let’s continue to look out for one another. JOSE DOMINguEZ CEO, American Red Cross on Long Island

Keep up the cancer reporting To the Editor: Regarding Scott Brinton’s column “A famed journalist enlightens us on cancer reporting” (Nov. 11-17): I want to thank Brinton and commend him for his cancer reporting. Although no cancer clusters have been officially designated on Long Island, I have found that there is a high incidence of cancer in communities here. I was diagnosed with acute myeloge-

built against you, is taxing. Where are the elevators in this Long Island Rail Road station? Are they currently in service? Will my crutches slip on the sidewalk? Where can I elevate my leg when at work? How much earlier do I need to leave? What detours should I take to avoid tripping and falling? Even though Holubnyczyj said she believes “there is no specific area of need that the county should be focusing on that would benefit the disabled,” she makes an exception for inequities in public transportation, which is one of the “hot spots” that need to be addressed. Besides planning the logistics of navigation, there is also the emotional strain of being treated as an inconvenience, a burden. “If it’s important to you, you’d attend,” an elected official said of whether to allow public meetings to be held on Zoom. “If you loved your children, you would make time,” said the president of a school club who holds monthly meetings exclusively in the evening. According to the 2018 American Community Survey, about 2 million New Yorkers, roughly 11 percent of the state’s

population, have a visible or invisible disability. And even after passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, over 30 percent of reports filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were claims of disability discrimination. In the past five years, Nassau County has spent almost $1 million in ADA settlements, even though only about one in five report this kind of discrimination. My Ph.D. program chair accurately recognized that there was a problem, but it wasn’t my leg. My leg wouldn’t have been a problem if public transportation had reliable access, if workplaces provided proper accommodations, if public meetings offered remote participation and if that pedestrian crossing signal lasted a few seconds longer. The disability doesn’t lie within me, Nadia, or within the community of people with disabilities, but within our institutions. Cristina Arroyo Rodriguez is editor of the Baldwin Herald and has been a nonprofit organizational consultant in the areas of pay equity and diversity, equity and inclusion. She has lectured in psychology at Baruch College, Bronx Community College and the City University of New York, and has taught Master Executive classes for NYPD leadership at John Jay College.

FrAmework by Christina Daly

nous leukemia two and a half years ago. In my square-block area in North Merrick, there were four other people diagnosed with cancer. One of them lost her life. In Merrick, I know of five other people with blood cancers besides me. In the office where I worked in Roosevelt Field, there were two others besides me diagnosed with blood cancers. One of them lost her life. We were an office of only about 75 people. This is all anecdotal, but unless responsible reporters like Brinton and Dan Fagin bring this to the public’s attention, dangerous cancer-causing situations will not be addressed. Thank you for the work you do. PATRICIA FIFE North Merrick
