Featuring German traditions in Queens A c ro s s t h e b o ro u g h o f Queens, anyone looking to celebrate Oktoberfest this fall will have several opportunities to raise a stein, enjoy Germaninspired food and listen to live music, with celebrations continuing from late September into October. Oktoberfest dates to 1810, when a public celebration was held in Munich to mark the marriage of Bavarian Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The original celebration began Oct. 12 and continued through Oct. 17, ending with a horse race. The newlyweds decided to repeat the celebration annually. Years later, organizers moved the festival to September because of the typically better weather and longer daylight hours. Today, the Munich Oktoberfest is considered the world's largest folk festival, attracting about 7 million people each year. In Queens, the festivities begin in earnest Sept. 24.

Sept. 24-27 — Astoria The Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria will continue its 2026 Oktoberfest celebration Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 24-27, following earlier events Sept. 18-20. The outdoor garden at 29-19 24th Ave. will feature Czech and Central European food, beer and a festive atmosphere. Admission is free, and reservations are not accepted. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sept. 26 — Flushing Oktoberfest Flushing Style will take place Saturday, Sept. 26, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Voelker Orth Museum, 149-19 38th Ave. The event brings together the neighborhood's Ger man history and Korean community through two traditional cab-

The menu will also include grilled bratwurst and japchae noodles, along with beer. The Shai Orchestra Ensemble will perform live music. Admission is about $45. If it rains, the event will move indoors.

Oct. 2-5 — Astoria Riverside in Astoria will host its Oktoberfest celebration Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 2-5, at 33-15 Ditmars Blvd. The restaurant will offer special prices on Hofbrau Oktoberfest and Catskill Barkaboom beers, along with Oktoberfeststyle food including bratwurst, Obatzda — a beer cheese dip served with vegetables and pretzels — and Kartoffelpuffer, or potato pancakes, with applesauce.

Admission is free. A stein-hoisting competition will be held Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. for a $10 participation fee. The winner will receive a $50 Riverside gift card.

Oct. 6-9 — Glendale Zum Stammtisch, at 69-46 Myrtle Ave. in Glendale, will celebrate Oktoberfest Tuesday through Friday, Oct. 6-9. The German restaurant will feature a special menu, Oktoberfest-style seating and live music by The Spitzbaum Band. Admission is $95 per person. Other Queens restaurants that traditionally celebrate Oktoberfest but had not yet announced their 2026 details as of press time include Manor Oktoberfest at 73-11 Yellowstone Blvd. in Forest Hills and Max Bratwurst und Bier at

47-02 30th Ave. in Astoria. The Bayside Historical Society also held its Oktoberfest at The Castle on Sept. 20 at the BHS Castle Grounds at 208 Totten Ave. in Fort Totten. The three-hour event featured German food, drinks and live music. Admission was free. The Castle, a Gothic Revival mansion, once served as the Officers’ Mess Hall and Club for the U.S. Ar my Corps of Engineers. It now serves as the historical society's headquarters and is a designated New York City landmark. One of Queens’ traditional

German gathering places, Gottscheer Hall in Ridgewood, held its Oktoberfest celebration Sept. 10. For those who missed the September celebrations, the October events offer additional opportunities to take part in a tradition that began more than two centuries ago — with a cold beer, a hearty meal and perhaps a pair of lederhosen. If there are other Oktoberfests in Queens, please send the infor mation to Rmackay@ queensny.org. –Jeffrey Bessen

Challah bake bonds women together By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com

S i x t y wo m e n f r o m across the Five Towns gathered on Sept. 9 at the Chabad of Hewlett’s new building for an evening of baking, reflection and Jewish unity. The pre-Rosh Hashana challah bake brought women together to prepare the special bread while learning about the traditions and symbolism associated with the start of the High Holy Days. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, marks the beginning of the Jewish calendar year and is a time for reflection, prayer and looking ahead. Traditionally viewed as a day of judgment, the holiday a l l ow s c e l e b r a n t s t o reflect on the year that has passed and consider the year to come. Families gather for festive meals featuring symbolic foods, including apples dipped in honey, representing hopes for a sweet new year.

Attendees were given matching aprons, ingredients and measuring utensils to make their own challah from scratch. For Rebbetzin Rivkie Tenenboim, wife of Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim of the Chabad of Hewlett, it was an opportunity to connect the hands-on tradition of making challah with the deeper meaning of the holiday. “Rosh Hashana is a

very, very special and holy time,” Tenenboim said. “Rosh Hashana is the day of judgment, and it is also the day that we reflect.” She encouraged participants to use the holiday as a time to look back at the previous year and

consider their actions, accomplishments and goals for the year ahead. Tenenboim also spoke about the symbolism of the traditional food eaten during Rosh Hashana. She said the challah itself car ries special meaning during the holiday. Unlike the braided loaves commonly served throughout the year, Rosh Hashana challah is traditionally made round, symbolizing the cycle of the year and continuity. “The circle has no beginning and no end,” Tenenboim explained, describing the round challah. “It represents the continuity from year to year, and our hope that we continue to grow, achieve and move forward. “We ask Hashem [God] that our year should continue, continue, continue from this year, next year, next year,” she added. L aw r e n c e r e s i d e n t Nicole Sig al attended with her mother and described the event as part of what she called a personal “reinvention” as she enters the Jewish New Year. “I wanted to do something different,” she said. “I decided to take my mom with me to create a challah bake.” Sigal said she did not grow up with the tradition but appreciated having the opportunity to participate in it in a welcoming environment. “I think it’s very essential for someone like myself,” she said. “I was

not raised religious by any means.” She said Chabad offers a space where people can explore their Jewish traditions and spirituality while maintaining their own individual experiences and backgrounds. “I think that’s what Chabad does in a very beautiful, unique way,” Sigal said. For Sigal, it was about more than baking. It was a chance to reflect before Rosh Hashana and connect with others. “It’s about community, really coming together,” she said. Hewlett resident Laura Rosenberg, who has been involved with the Chabad of Hewlett for 10 years, said supporting the Jewish community felt particularly meaningful at a time when antisemitism remains a concern. “I think it’s very special, in today’s age, to support the Jewish community because of all the antisemitism,” she said. Rosenberg said the timing of the event, just before Rosh Hashana, made it an especially meaningful way to bring people together and reconnect with Jewish traditions. “This is a very special community,” she said. “I think it’s important to stick together in today’s environment.” Rosenberg also praised Te n e n b o i m a n d t h e Chabad community for creating an environment in which people feel welcome regardless of their level of religious observance. “They’re very accepting,” she said. “You don’t have to be a certain way. You don’t have to dress a certain way.” T h e wo m e n m i x e d ingredients, shaped the dough and prepared their challahs, providing a tangible way to welcome the Jewish New Year — combining a centuries-old tradition with a way to gather, reflect and look ahead. “It was such a cute event,” Sigal said. “It was really nice to do something different with my mother and to be surro u n d e d by s o m a ny women coming together for such a beautiful mitzvah” — a good deed.

A.B. hosts 13th annual water safety training Atlantic Beach Rescue held its 13th annual EMS Water Safety and Rescue Training on Aug. 30, bringing emergency responders together for hands-on training focused on water rescues and safety. The annual exercise gives EMS members an opportunity to practice responding to emergencies in the water and prepare for the unique challenges that can arise along the South Shore. Participants reviewed rescue techniques and worked together in simulated scenarios designed to strengthen communication, coordination and response times. The training is particularly important for communities such as Atlantic Beach, where residents and visitors spend much of the summer near the ocean, beaches and waterways. The annual program also serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness for local emergency responders. Through continued training, Atlantic Beach EMS members work to ensure they are ready to respond quickly and effectively when a water-related emergency occurs, helping keep beachgoers and residents safe.

Attendees practiced all different types of rescues and how to use the backboard to case of a head, neck or spinal injury.

Q. Why is everything so complicated and expensive, just to build a small addition? We just heard that we need something called a drywell, which makes this almost impossible because there really isn’t any place to put one. Do we really need one? Again, why is everything so complicated? When we added to our second floor in 1989, it was nothing like this. A. The children’s story about Chicken Little, the smallest chick in the barnyard, who said, “The sky is falling,” may have been more truthful than just a fable. As I mentioned last week, drywells are collection containers in the ground that are intended to gather and hold more rainwater accumulation to avoid or limit flooding. To onte eeper some extent, the capacity to collect and move rainwater away from properties was already planned in most communities with the installation of very large-diameter rain sewer pipes under or beside roadways when communities were being developed. You’ve probably seen those giant 8- to 12-foot-diameter pipes, and seen traffic restricted when they’re installed or repaired. Where does all that water go, you may ask? Rainwater goes to the surrounding, lower-level areas such as “sumps,” the low, undeveloped land in some neighborhoods, and on to lakes, rivers, inlets, channels and the ocean. You may have noticed the sunken areas in the middle of circular entry ramps to expressways, low-lying fields next to large parking fields, man-made lakes with fountains in the middle along highways in front of corporate buildings, etc. These aren’t just coincidences. They are carefully planned low areas for rainwater to collect and percolate back into the ground. We don’t generally have large properties to create low areas for rain collection, even though we should, so drywells and paving with spaces between are the next best thing. Developing low-lying garden beds between properties is a great way to move rainwater away from homes, and planting with shrubs that accept larger amounts of watering is good property management. Your county has enforceable drainage regulations, but isn’t the authority that issues permits, except at the level involving review of commercial and industrial buildings along county roadways. The rest of the county mandates are governed by your local community and your local building department, which regulates and does property plan review. Some communities now require drywells to augment what is already in place, to safeguard us all from heavier and heavier rainfalls, while others have not required drywells so far. That may be based on actual calculations, or the belief that the systems in place aren’t enough, or it may be a response to the weather extremes we’ve been seeing, with many more heavy, localized floods. The heating of our ground, oceans and atmosphere have all contributed to evaporation, and rain clouds that used to be 60,000 feet high collecting moisture are now doubling to 120,000 feet. Maybe Chicken Little was right after all!
