rom a religious perspective, the Bellmores are incredibly diverse, with seven churches and six temples and synagogues, as well as the Jaam’e Masjid mosque. These institutions play an integral role in creating a sense of community. From charitable acts to extracurricular education, Bellmore’s places of worship continuously bring residents together.
