Shining light on key chapter of Holocaust By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com

Harley Moritz, left, and Romy Fruman, both 14-year-old Hewlett High School freshmen, hosted “Lemons to Light,” an introduction to their Kindertransport clothespin education project at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove, on Sept. 21.
Fueled by a passion for learning and sharing information, a National History Day project on the Kindertransport has been transformed into an educational packet for fifth- and sixth-graders across the country. Romy Fruman and Harley Moritz, both 14-year old Hewlett High School freshmen, created a documentary for their National History Day project at Woodmere Middle School last December. They interviewed Manfred Korman, 94, about his experience during the Kindertransport, a rescue effort in which nearly 10,000 mostly Jewish refugee children were transported to Great Britain from Nazi Germany from December 1938 to May 1940, according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia.

Annual JCC family Succos Fair returns to Cedarhurst By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
Come one, come all to the sixth annual Marion & Aaron Gural JCC Succos Fair, at Andrew J. Parise Park in Cedarhurst. The seven-day Jewish holiday of Sukkot, a time of joy and happiness, will take place Oct. 6 to 13. Observers celebrate by dwelling in a Sukkah, a hut that is covered with branches and decorated, to commemorate God’s sheltering of their ancestors during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The Succos Fair debuted in 2019, and after skipping 2020
because of the pandemic, it has been held every year since. It is co-sponsored by Community Chest South Shore. This year the fair will take place on Oct. 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. “We draw people from all over the metropolitan area,” Stacey Feldman, executive director of the Gural JCC, said. “Thousands of people will be with us to enjoy the beautiful holiday.” The celebration will feature the Chicago Boys, an acrobatic group, on Oct. 9, at 12:30 and 3 p.m., and the music of Danny
Palgom on Oct. 12. There will also be an array of activities for children, including face painting, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, rides and bounce houses. And kosher food will be available for purchase from local eateries including Chickies, Lollibop, David’s Pizza and Pizza’le. “We are very proud to put together three days of a magnificent festival for so many members of our community and the extended community of the metropolitan area,” Feldman said. She added that she hoped for three days of wonderful weather for the celebration. “Our
goal is to have an affordable fair where families can have a great day spent outside while celebrating the holiday of Sukkot,” Feldman said. “We do have a beautiful huge Sukkah on premises.” She said she has been “humbled” by the number of thankyou notes that community members send each year after
the event. This year’s fair has been in the works for the past six months, as staff members have made sure they have the necessary permits, insurance and marketing materials, and collaborated with the Village of Cedarhurst. “We wish to thank the VilConTinued on paGe 14
