The Brandeis School celebrates the formal opening of its new playground with a special dedication ceremony honoring the memory of The Fogel Family from Itamar, Israel.
Lawrence, NY-
On June 14th, 2011 at 10am, The Brandeis School, in Lawrence, NY, will be celebrating the formal opening of its new 5,000 square foot playground, which includes state of the art play structures, a fitness center and a gaga pit.
This special celebration will also honor the memory of Rabbi Udi Fogel, his wife Ruth and three children whose lives were tragically cut short this past March, in Itamar, Israel. A bench overlooking the playground will be dedicated in their names.
As part of this dedication ceremony, students will be planting flowers in memory of The Fogel Family. We want all who play here to feel the deep connection to The Brandeis School, to Israel and a sense of community and love for our fellow man.
Two playground benches have been donated by The Kogan Family, who are parents of the School.
The second bench will be named in honor of Martin Kogan (grandfather of Marti, Max, Leah, Abigail and Benjamin Kogan) and Moe D. Karash, late husband of Dr. Mildred David. Dr. David was the Principal of The Brandeis School for many years before retiring last June.
Local Rabbis and community leaders have been invited, and are scheduled to attend.

The Avraham Yonah Reading Group
There are many people in our community who are home bound or for various reasons cannot get out often and seldom have visitors. The Avraham Yonah Reading Group is a volunteer group consisting mostly of women, who go to these peoples homes and read to them. It gives these individuals an opportunity to make friends, have consistent visitors and know that others care about them.
The organization is intended to help people who are home bound, elderly, ill and in treatment or anyone else who may benefit from this service. Volunteers will visit the individuals home for approximately 1/2 - 1 hour, and will either read a book, learn Torah, play a game or just talk with the person depending on their preference. There will be a different volunteer going each day of the week, depending on how many days are requested by the person in need. It is hoped that each volunteer will continue to visit on the same day of every week.
If you know of anyone who could benefit from this service, please contact us.
We hope you will be interested in volunteering to be a part of this wonderful chessed and join us in reaching out to our friends and neighbors who are in need and hopefully making a difference in their lives.
