Dozens of athletes gather at the Friedberg JCC each week for a unique lineup of boxing classes that are quickly becoming the undisputed champion in the community.
Last week, hundreds gathered for a joyous closure to the Hanukkah season at the Merrick Jewish Centre. Joined by Congregation Beth Ohr in Bellmore and Temple Beth Am of Merrick & Bellmore, the Jewish community gathered to light their menorahs, listen to and sing holiday music, and catch gelt chocolate gold coins off of a fire truck.
Congregation Beth Ohr welcomed speaker Yiscah Smith who is a thought leader and spiritual activist to its shul on Nov. 5, leading congregants in readings and teachings that hit close to home for many with the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Over the past two years, the Hebrew school at Congregation Beth Ohr, in Bellmore, has undergone some extensive changes in both its curriculum and physical appearance.
