Help support Chana Oz's battle against cancer. The following is a letter sent out by the Young Israel of Hewlett explaining the cause: "Fellow Members:
This past Shabbas we heard the passionate appeal by Rabbi Blumstein to
assist Chana Oz in her battle against cancer. Both Chana and her husband Avi were members of the Young Israel of Hewlett before they had to return to Israel for Chana's continued medical care.
Chana is currently in need of a cancer drug that is not covered by her medical insurance. Her monthly expenditures for this treatment are $6000. Chana desperately needs our assistance at this critical time.
Please join us in helping the Oz family. Send your contributions to the shul, with checks made out to the Young Israel of Hewlett. Please reference The Chana Oz Appeal in the bottom left portion of your check. You may also donate online on our website using the memo section to reference The Chana Oz Appeal. Thank you for your assistance. Together we can make a difference.
B'Shalom,
Charlie Miller
Eric Miller
Evan Rapp
Dr. Duvi Goldberg
Sam Mizrachi"

7/4/08 Congratulations to Maurice and Linda Enbar on the longest Marriage Marathon in history.  Guests arrived in St. Maarten starting Monday, June 30th and stayed the week.  From villas with individual pools that had bride and groom ducks floating in them, to personalized pool towels, a reserved beach with lounge chairs, snorkels and kayaks.  From artisian cheeses flown in from Israel to Angus steaks flown in from Argentina.  Food, drinks and cuban cigars flowed freely as the week passed by fluidly and with charm for all the guests who gathered from the four corners of the world.  Wedding chairs had personalized fans for the guests, Rabbi Yehudah Ben-Hamu, of Miami regaled all with laughter as he married Adam and Melissa Enbar on the eve of Shabbos, July 4th. 

The bridal party was dressed in white iselet sun dresses with aqua silk sashes that matched the sea as the background of the chupah. The men wore white linen suits.  So charming and elegant.

The festivities took place appropriately in a huge tent on the beach.  Appropriately because it was open on all four sides as the tent of Abraham's and Sarah's.  Those of you familiar with the Enbars know that they personify the characteristics of charity and kindness, boundless in that their door is always open to guests.

 The 24 hour marriage celebration culminated with fireworks on the beach and dancing to the weeeeeeee hours of the morning.  Guests had a sumptuous Sunday brunch before the coach came to take us to the airport, away from from Fairy Land and back to reality.  A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL...
