In recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month and in support of the State of Israel, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town will host a Stand with Israel Rally on Sunday, May 19th at 2PM in Plainview-Old Bethpage Park. At the event, a Holocaust Survivor, IDF Solider, and the family of Omer Neutra, who was taken hostage by Hamas, will speak. Officials will also unveil a plaque for the Tree of Life, symbolizing hope, love and unity while forever remembering those lost to terror.

On November 5, 2023, thousands of people gathered at this same park to express support for the State of Israel and pray for the safe return of hostages held captive by terrorists, Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. Now, we will unveil a plaque for the Tree of Life, symbolizing hope, love and unity while forever remembering those lost to terror. The Town of Oyster Bay will always recognize Israels right of sovereignty and peace and celebrate the Jewish community in our town.

We stand with the Jewish people and support the right for Israel to defend itself, added Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato. Please join us on May 19th as we come together as one voice in observance of Jewish American Heritage Month and call for the safe return of all hostages.

Local rabbis, Holocaust Survivor Alfred Weinberg, IDF Soldier Ira Kohler of Plainview, the family of hostage Omer Neutra of Plainview, and representatives from the Mid Island Y JCC, Schechter School of Long Island and Nassau County Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center will lead the event. All residents are invited to attend.
