Hebrew School students plant flowers and shrubs as part of experience.
The Hebrew School students at the Manetto Hill Jewish Center observed the Lag B'Omer celebration last week by giving back something to the synagoge and the earth. The students planted flowers and shrubs along the foundation of the synagogue on Manetto Hill Road in Plainview. Following their hard work, the young people were treated to drinks and snacks and the magic show of Adam Cadabra. See our attached photos.

Patch reports on the latest crimes in Syosset and Plainview.
The following arrest information was supplied by the Second Precinct of the Nassau County Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

Area rabbis take "innocent until proven guilty" approach; many doubt the allegations against prominent caterer.
The spiritual leaders of many area synagogues are urging their congregations not to rush to judgment in the wake of allegations against a prominent catering firm. And, in a significant new development, the rabbinical service that certifies food as kosher has come out publicly in full support of Morrell Caterers and has denounced the accusations as "unfounded." "People are generally good," said Rabbi Shmuel Lipszyc of Town of Oyster Bay Chabad in Woodbury. "Nobody should form opinions before research." Many area rabbis repeated a similar theme in wake of the recent accusations regarding Morrell Caterers and its owner, Scott Morrell. In a lawsuit, former chef Michael Savitsky and general manager Tom Cataldo accused Morrell of knowingly …

By any measure, Plainview had its fill of major news stories during 2011. Not all news is good news. Many of these stories disturbed our community and made us think about what needs to be done.
