Nahmias attends 2025 Mayors Summit By AIDAN WARSHAVSKY awarshavsky@liherald.com

Lawrence Mayor Samuel Nahmias joined more than 200 other municipal leaders at the 2025 North American Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism in New Orleans earlier this month. Hosted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement Dec. 2-4, the event familiarized officials at all levels of government with the skills to combat acts of hate directed at their constituents, from ordinances and crisis communication guidance to law enforcement training and community-building strategies. Nahmias, who was recently honored by the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, in Glen Cove, for his commitment to community and justice, spoke about the impact of the conference. “I learned from colleagues across gover nment about the diverse and meaningful ways they are addressing

the antisemitic incidents their constituents face,” he wrote in a press release. The summit welcomed more than 60 guest speakers and moderators. Participants had the opportunity to join panels as well as formal and informal discussions focused on real-world strategies for combating antisemitism on a local level. They explored how to create ef fective strate gies to reduce threats, and how to strengthen education, security, reporting systems and community trust while addressing hate and discrimination more broadly. Nahmias explained that the conference illuminated the need for a unified front against antisemitism, and can damage communities if not dealt with effectively. “Antisemitism is a persistent, destructive force,” he said in a statement. “Hatred aimed at Jews or Israel eventually expands to target other minority communities as well,

intimidation. The experts detailed the warning signs of escalating risk, and tools like threat analysis with which cities can respond to potentially combustible situations while protecting constituents’ right to free speech and maintaining community trust. Guest speakers discussed strategies like finding common interests across diverse groups to build unity among community leaders and elected officials. Yehuda Kaploun, a Chabad rabbi from Miami, who is President Trump’s nominee to be Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, called the fight against it a “moral oblig ation for (everyone),” calling antisemitism “anti-American.” “Myself, the president, the secretary of state, and the entire administration are going to work tirelessly to make sure religious liberty, justice, and restoring respect for humanity for everybody is the goal.” One panel featured former members of extremist groups, who focused on helping leaders detect early signs of violent radicalization and mitigate threats before they escalate. Nahmias called for action from other government bodies, criticizing those who have proposed divesting from Israeli’s economy and business ventures, saying they would “ignore Israel’s con-

tributions to the world.” Israeli inventors and scientists have created household staples like the navigation system Waze, the cherry tomato and the technology for the USB flash drive. “The world would be markedly less advanced without Israel’s ingenuity and collaboration,” Nahmias wrote. “Instead of tur ning our backs, we should recognize and support the immense value Israel brings to the international community.” H e m p s t e a d Tow n Supervisor John Ferretti, who joined Nahmias at the summit, said, “(This) kind of teamwork is exactly what municipal leaders need.” “The discussions at the Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism were honest, raw and focused on the real problems local leaders encounter daily,” Ferretti wrote in a statement. “(I) proudly attended the summit and joined in conversations about working together, stopping antisemitism before it starts, and using practical ideas to make our communities safer.” The Combat Antisemitism Movement is a global coalition of more than 700 partner organizations and 4 million people according to their website--unified in the common mission to fight “the world’s oldest hatred.” Its members, who represent a diverse array of religious, political and cultural backgrounds, act collaboratively to build a better future, free of bigotry, for Jews and all humanity. Summit attendees become part of the movement’s year-round municipal network, with access to resources like the Municipal Antisemitism Action Index to measure the impact of their efforts to create safer, stronger communities. “We must continue to bridge divides, strengthen communication and act with empathy and solidarit y, ” N a h m i a s w r o t e. “Through unity, vigilance, and a commitment to our shared humanity, we can confront antisemitism in all its forms and ensure our communities remain safe, inclusive, and resilient.”

HAFTR High athletes at the Auburn experience mberman@liherald.com

More than 100 Jewish high school students from across the country, including a delegation from the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School, took part in a three-day leadership and cultural exchange program at Auburn University, in Alabama. The trip was organized by Athletes For Israel, a nonprofit organization that uses sports and athletic leadership to foster education, Jewish pride and community engagement. From Nov. 17 to 19, students from HAFTR’s girls’ and boys’ varsity basketball teams toured Auburn University’s athletic facilities and met with Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl and head coach Steven Pearl. Seniors Olivia Weinrib and Mathew Vaysman have both been playing basketball since they were little and throughout their HAFTR career. “We went to Auburn to experience what the Jewish life is around there,” Vaysman said. “We’re very grateful to Bruce Pearl for making this experience possible.” Vaysman was the all-star player of the Auburn Invitational Athletes for Israel Experience and recommends basketball for all kids growing up. “Basketball is a way to have fun with my friends and become part of a team that could last a long time,” he said.

Students in HAFTR’s girls’ and boys’ varsity basketball teams toured Auburn University through Athletes for Israel, on Nov. 17 to 19. “Growing up with the same guys on the team and forming a connection with them has allowed me to make many connections.” The group attended Auburn men’s and women’s basketball games against Jackson State and Georgia State and spoke with players from both teams about athletics, leadership and campus life. Weinrib said her favorite part of the trip was watching practice and seeing how everything is run from the inside. “On the last night we went to a game,” she said. “It was cool to see the atmosphere in the school.” Weinrib was the first recipient of the

Bruce Pearl Impact Award for her involvement in raising awareness for Israel. “Basketball is a way of bringing people together,” Weinrib said. “Not only do you make friends with the people on your team, but on tournaments you hang out with other teams because of the sport.” One highlight of the weekend was “Bagels with Bruce,” a discussion hosted in partnership with Auburn Hillel, where Bruce Pearl spoke with students about leadership, identity and advocacy. Pearl, who has been outspoken on issues affecting the Jewish community, answered students’ questions and shared his experi-

ences as a coach and public figure. Daniel Posner, chairman and founder of Athletes For Israel, said the Auburn visit highlighted how sports can serve as a platform for leadership development and community engagement. “Over three days, students built relationships, participated in service, and connected with leaders who emphasize pride, resilience and responsibility,” Posner said. He started Athletes for Israel six years ago and knew they needed to reach hundreds of millions of people who are miseducated on Israel. “I thought the best way to do that was through something that bridges the gap and that’s through sports,” he said. “Sports is something that enables you to get beyond that echo chamber and it doesn’t matter your religion or skin color. It unifies people and bridges gaps.” Beyond athletics, the program emphasized service and connection. Students participated in local community service projects, including packing food and supply boxes for people experiencing homelessness, spending time with children with special needs, and supporting area nonprofit organizations. “The goal for the Auburn experience is not about playing basketball,” Posner said. “It’s about learning and being educated about how to be an activist for Israel. It’s about leadership and how do we connect to people outside our small bubble through sports.”

One Amazing Home

Q. Stopping the pour was a good idea. Admixtures can make things worse, based on the following. Cold moisture, whether from tidal action, a high water table or air temperature, is always a concern. There are three important factors in concrete: water, air temperature and internal and external movement. Cool water expands. Cooler internal moisture can reduce the strength of the concrete, because it expands and sets molecules farther apart. That changes the reactions of the ingredients. A. Concrete is made up of sand, Portland cement — super-heated limestone that converts to calcium carbonate — and stones called aggregate. Setup is often thought of as drying, which is a misconception. Concrete setup is a chemical process of internal reactions, and those reactions give off heat. The reason that people standing in onte eeper fresh cement are wearing boots isn’t just to keep their ankles clean. Their rubber boots act as insulators, to keep them from direct skin contact and third-degree burns caused by highly alkaline calcium hydroxide in the cement and the heat developed during the pour. The heat is called the “heat of hydration.” That process is necessary to get the concrete to harden properly. Introducing too much cold slows the chemical process and weakens the concrete. It minimizes the ultimate strength, so internal expansion is the first issue. A wet condition from moisture condensation is the second problem, because when the air temperature drops, condensation increases in the adjacent ground and in the cement mixture, slowing the setup process and increasing the lack of ability to give off moisture and heat during the chemical reaction. Think of it like taking bread out of the oven too early. The bread will be dense and wet. And last, high alkalinity is increased by using “antifreeze” calcium carbonate, which causes reinforcing rods in the concrete mixture to corrode and continue to rust out, unseen, until there is very little left. The admixture chemical reaction to the reinforcing rods is interesting, because few people realize that rusting steel doesn’t first reduce; it expands, placing a lot of internal force on the concrete, causing cracking. Then the rods leach and reduce in size and strength, causing more concrete cracking. I don’t recommend the additive in your case. Good luck!
