It was an evening of multi-generational bonding when fathers, sons, cousins, and friends set out on an Emet-style fishing expedition. Participants gathered on the deck of the “Super Hawk” in Point Lookout for Minchah and then tried their hands at reeling in a catch. Rabbi David Delman, Emet’s fishing expert, provided tips and encouragement. The main “catch of the day” was actually the connections that were made during the kumsitz and conversations. The night offered a relaxing opportunity for Emet educators, students, their families, and friends to enjoy each other’s company in a fun and spiritual way.

The Queens Jewish Community Council presented the Annual Bukharian Festival on Wednesday evening in Cunningham Park. Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a proud sponsor of these wonderful annual concerts for many years. The concert went on, even given the inclement weather, which did not seem to bother the many that were in attendance. Dancing, great music, raffles, and giveaways from Margaret Tietz added to the very festive atmosphere.
