Sept. 11, 2001 remembrance ceremonies in the Five Towns mberman@liherald.com
Twenty-five years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed the nation forever, communities across the Five Towns will gather this month to remember the lives lost and reflect on the lasting impact of that day. Local ceremonies will take different approaches to the anniversary, from traditional memorial observances to an interfaith service centered on peace and unity. Father Chris Ballard of Trinity-St. John’s Church in Hewlett, will host an Interfaith Service of Remembrance and Peace at 9 a.m. on Sept. 11, in the church’s new Chapel of Peace. The outdoor space is designed to bring people of different faiths together. The service will include representatives of the Abrahamic faiths as well as Hindu, Buddhist and Baha’i traditions. Prayers will be offered for those who died in the attacks and for peace in a world that continues to experience violence. For Ballard, the service has added significance because it will be the first held in the newly created chapel. “It’s really about the creation of the Chapel of Peace,” Ballard said. “This comes from the community. This is about us being together, regardless of our faith, what faith we share.” Ballard said he had envisioned creating a sacred, interfaith space in the large green area next to the church’s

He described it as a place where people can gather and recognize one another’s traditions. “In one place, we are different and that we see and honor each other,” Ballard said. “This space was created for exactly the type of worship that we’re going to be doing on September 11th.” The service will begin with a cellist providing music before faith leaders offer prayers of remembrance from their respective traditions. There will also be prayers for peace before the gathering concludes.
Rather than focusing on the traditional reading of victims’ names and ringing of bells, Ballard said the service will take a broader, contemplative approach. “This is really remembering those who lost their lives on 9/11, but also we’re mourning our sense of peace and we want something back,” he said. The Chapel of Peace at 1138 Broadway in Woodmere will be formally unveiled and dedicated on Sept. 9, with a gathering table serving as its centerpiece. Ballard hopes it will eventually
host additional interfaith gatherings. The service is being held in partnership with LI Faith, an interfaith coalition. In Cedarhurst, the village will hold its annual memorial ceremony at 11 a.m. on Sept. 11, at Andrew J. Parise Park. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will move inside Village Hall. JoMarie Capone, former Village of Cedarhurst clerk who remains involved with the ceremony, said the annual gathering is particularly meaningful because seven people from the Five Towns and surrounding communities were killed on Sept. 11. “We have to never forget, and always remember,” Capone said. The seven local victims are Thomas Jurgens, 27; Neil Levin, 47; Bettina Browne-Radburn, 49; Joseph Rivelli Jr., 43; Kevin O’Rourke, 44; Howard Selwyn, 47; and Ira Zaslow, 55. Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said the ceremony is personal for the community. “For us it’s personal,” Weinstock said. “We remember and pay tribute to our community and those who are listed on our 9/11 monument.” The village ceremony will include participation from local fire departments, the American Legion and the Lawrence school district, according to Capone. The Village of Lawrence is also preparing its annual commemoration, with local first responders and community members expected to participate.
Exploring community outreach with HWPL’s Laurie Adler By AIDAN WARSHAVSKY awarshavsky@liherald.com
One of Woodmere resident Laurie Adler’s favorite aspects of working at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library is creating inclusive programming for patrons of the library — something she’s done as the first outreach librarian for three years. Adler, a Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns graduate, has been employed at the library since 2011. She spends most days focusing on community partnerships, including the Great Give Back, a statewide initiative through which public libraries engage their communities in meaningful service projects. This year, Hewlett-Woodmere conducted an art supply drive. Other projects Adler assists with include the library’s annual food drive with Island Harvest, as well as Memory Café, where adults with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias gather for activities. “We live in such an outfacing community,” Adler said. “There are so many organizations and venues that help others and becoming involved with that is very [special].” Adler’s body of work is not new to Hewlett-Woodmere’s librarians. Library Director Michelle Young, who was hired in 2023, said she created the outreach position shortly after starting her role. Young said Adler immediately expressed interest in

Laurie Adler, a Woodmere resident, shared her experience serving the community as an outreach librarian and the changes she’s seen over the years. the role, citing her enjoyment in working with people. Adler already had extensive experience working with patrons of all ages. She spent time in the children’s department before moving to adult services. Given that Adler
was a Five Towns resident, Young said it only added to her value in understanding the community in her new role. “To be in outreach, you need to be a certain kind of person,” Young said, noting Adler’s kindness and compassion for oth-
ers. “She’s a pleasure to work with and I really enjoy working with her. We’ve done a lot of initiatives together. “ Over the years, Adler said the Five Towns has kept its “small town” feel while continuing to expand. During that span, she said, she has noticed a shift in how people gathered their information. In the past, Adler said, people sought information from microfilm and microfiche, a flat sheet of transparent photographic film used to store miniaturized documents. Now, with the emergence of platforms such as AI, streaming services, and emerging technologies allowing patrons to use their library cards on those platforms, it’s as if the library is “in 1960 and 2026 at the same time.” “I think the nature of information and how we obtain it has changed,” Adler said. “People are depending on now that the world’s gotten smaller, with email and easier with all electronic communication, people are looking for community bases, and the library has become more of a community hub.” Adler said she often receives feedback from people grateful for the programs the library provides. She noted a person who approached her about a program serving people with disabilities, as well as a letter expressing appreciation for her and the library’s work. The letter included a simple message: “You make me feel included.”

Cheer students on beyond the classroom
A
s a new school year gets underway, students are returning to classrooms on campuses across long Island. They are also returning to athletic fields, courts, tracks and pools, rehearsal halls and laboratories, where they will spend countless hours training, practicing and studying for everything from football games to band and choir concerts and stage productions to science fairs and art shows, at which they will represent their schools. That makes this an ideal time for communities to remember that supporting local schools means more than voting on the district budget, following test scores and celebrating a championship after the fact. One of the simplest and most meaningful ways residents can support young people is by showing up. Extracurricular school activities are an important part of the fabric of our communities. For students, participation is about far more than wins and losses or hitting the perfect musical note. These activities offer them opportunities to build confidence, learn discipline, develop teamwork and leadership skills, overcome adversity and form friendships that can last long after graduation. The lessons learned from being part of a
team, a music ensemble or the cast of the school play can’t be taught in a classroom. Working with peers toward a common goal teaches cooperation and accountability. Performing in public, whether leaping to spike a volleyball or playing an instrument, requires courage and confidence. But while coaches, advisers and families play essential roles in supporting these students, the encouragement of the larger community matters, too. An energetic crowd sends a message to students that their efforts are noticed and appreciated. It lets them know that the hours they’ve devoted to practicing over the summer, after school and on weekends mean something beyond the performance. It reminds them that they aren’t simply playing for themselves, but representing a school and a community that is behind them. And supporting your schools’ athletes and performers doesn’t have to be complicated. Get in the car. Bring the family. Invite a friend or neighbor. Spend an afternoon at a soccer match or a cross-country meet. Attend the concert. Go to the play. you don’t need to know every rule. you don’t need to have a child or a grandchild on the team or on the stage. you just have to show up. Attending a school event can also be a
reminder of what makes a community special. Games and performances bring students, parents, teachers, alumni and neighbors together. They’re an opportunity for community members to see young people working hard, supporting one another and taking pride in the name on their uniforms. The musician performing on stage, the artist displaying a painting and the student presenting a science project deserve encouragement just as much as the athlete scoring a goal. Supporting students means recognizing achievement, effort and creativity in all their forms. As the new academic year takes shape, residents of every school district should make an effort to get out of the house and become part of the experience. Check the local school calendar, and choose a game, performance or event. Our schools are among the centers of community life, and the students who walk their halls today will help shape our communities tomorrow. A few hours spent cheering them on may seem like a small gesture, but to a young person who looks into the crowd and sees a community supporting them, that can mean the world. This school year, let’s do more than applaud our students from afar. let’s show up for them.

Our Constitution has baby teeth — important protections that can be too easily ignored or exploited by those willing to disregard democratic norms. Congress must enact stronger laws to give our democracy its permanent teeth: clear, enforceable safeguards with real consequences for those who try to undermine it.

things to know high holidays By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
As the Jewish High Holy Days approach, Jewish
families across the Five Towns and beyond will gather for prayer, reflection, family meals and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins the 10-day period known as the Days of Awe
and leads into Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Sept. 11 and continues through nightfall Sept. 13. Yom Kippur begins at sundown Sept. 20 and ends at nightfall Sept. 21.
n Rosh Hashanah marks a new beginning
n Yom Kippur is a day of fasting, prayer and atonement
n Both holidays emphasize family, forgiveness and hope
Rosh Hashanah, which means “head of the year,” is the Jewish New Year and is observed on the first two days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. The holiday is a time to reflect on the year that has passed, consider one’s actions and look ahead to the year to come. It begins the Days of Awe, a period of introspection that culminates with Yom Kippur. One of the bestknown traditions is hearing the sounding of the shofar, a ram’s horn, during synagogue services. The shofar serves as a call to reflection and repentance. Food also plays an important role in Rosh Hashanah celebrations. Apples dipped in honey are traditionally eaten to symbolize the hope for a sweet new year. Round challah, often with raisins, is another popular holiday food, with its circular shape representing the cycle of the year. Pomegranates are also commonly served and can symbolize abundance and the hope for a year filled with good deeds.
Yom Kippur, known as the Day of Atonement, is considered the holiest day of the Jewish year. It is a time for repentance, forgiveness and spiritual reflection. Traditionally, observant Jewish adults refrain from eating and drinking for 25 hours while spending much of the day in prayer and synagogue services. The day is marked by solemn services, including Kol Nidre on the evening before Yom Kippur and Neilah, the concluding service as the fast comes to an end. Unlike Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is not centered around a festive meal. Instead, families traditionally eat a substantial meal before the fast begins and gather for a break-fast meal after Yom Kippur ends. Foods served at break-fast vary among families and cultures but can include bagels, cream cheese, smoked fish, kugel, eggs, salads and other dairy dishes.
Although Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have different customs, they are closely connected. Rosh Hashanah begins a period of self-examination, while Yom Kippur provides a day dedicated to repentance and seeking forgiveness. The holidays also emphasize relationships with others. Jewish tradition encourages people to apologize for wrongs, seek forgiveness and make amends with those they may have hurt. For many families, the High Holy Days are also a time to gather around the table, attend synagogue together and pass traditions from one generation to the next. Whether through the sound of the shofar, a bite of apple dipped in honey, a pre-fast meal or the quiet reflection of Yom Kippur, the holidays offer an opportunity to begin the new year with renewed purpose, gratitude and hope.

The second annual Atlantic Open will be on Sept. 19. at the Atlantic Beach Tennis Center.
MERCHANDISE MART
Atlantic Open tennis tournament returns to A.B.
Antiques/Collectibles
By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
The Atlantic Beach Tennis Center will serve as the setting for a day of tennis, instruction and community when the second annual Atlantic Open is held on Sept. 19. The event, organized by Lawrence native David Gill through his tennis community company, Tennis Grip, is expected to draw between 60 and 80 players. The event will include tournament competition, instructional drills, food and other activities designed to bring tennis players together. Gill started Tennis Grip during the Covid-19 pandemic after seeing an opportunity to use tennis to build community. “The company, a few years ago, actually during Covid, really set out to build community around tennis,” Gill said. “I started in Brooklyn, and I’ve done events in New York, L.A. and some of Miami.” The organization has also partnered with nonprofits, including Harlem Junior Tennis, an after-school program that combines education and tennis. “We found ways to get people together, rather than trying to only do tennis events,” Gill said. “We were really creating an environment for people to get together, have an opportunity to talk about tennis, potentially play tennis, make new friends and find new people to partner with.” Gill grew up playing tennis at Long Beach and the Atlantic Beach Tennis Center, among other local facilities. He said returning to Atlantic Beach for the tournament has a personal significance. Gill worked with Atlantic Beach Tennis Center officials last year to launch the first Atlantic Open and 70 people attended with local businesses and vendors helping support the event. “We hosted a tournament that had 70 people that came out to play, and we came
out to hang out for the day,” Gill said. “We got a bunch of local vendors alongside national ones.” The event raised $1,000 last year. Gill said the money supports tennis programming throughout the year, including youth programs and efforts to increase access to courts. “The tournament helps us raise money to do tennis programming throughout the year,” he said. “Whether that’s a youth program, whether that’s getting people to potentially get court time, working with clubs, kind of making more availability — that’s really where our goal is.” The tournament will feature intermediate mixed doubles and advanced singles. Players who are eliminated can continue participating in drills, with four courts expected to be active throughout the day. Gill said the event is intended to make tennis more accessible to people who may not regularly have the opportunity to play. “The hardest thing about tennis in New York is finding people to play with in affordability and availability once you leave the city,” he said. He added that the Atlantic Open offers participants an opportunity to spend several hours playing and learning without the costs associated with traditional tennis programming. “Giving people an opportunity to play for five hours, you can’t really get that anywhere else,” Gill said. But Gill said the tournament is about more than the competition. “It really celebrates what tennis should be about,” he said. “Tennis should be fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re good or you suck. It’s getting out there. It’s moving. It’s just being around people.” Registration and donations are available through Tennis Grip’s website at tennisgrip.club/collections/atlantic-open.
