Jewish American Heritage Month

The confusion, utter joy and comfort with the familiar were all on display at the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach in Woodmere on Sept. 1, the first day of school.

School buses dropped the students off on the Ibsen Street side the building as assorted parent-driven vehicles dropped off their children on the Branch Boulevard side.

Classes collected in the gymnasium and heard and sang Hativka the national anthem of Israel for the first time in the school building since March 2020, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

At Hewlett High School in Hewlett, vehicles crammed in and out of the school's East Rockaway Avenue entrance and exit, and students huddled under umbrellas as they walked to school while it rained.

As the second full school year under the coronavirus pandemic begins, Five Towns schools are adhering to the state mandate of wearing masks inside the buildings, while aiming to ensure that all instruction is conducted in-person in classrooms.
