Being a teenager has never been easy, but today adolescents experience more stressors than ever: to do well in school, be popular with peers, gain the approval of parents, make the team, be cool, and on and on. Some may also be worried about a parent being out of work or family financial problems, or be dealing with their parents’ divorce or alcoholism or mental illness in the family. Despite these pressures, it’s important to remember that most teenagers develop into healthy adults. Mattituck High School is offering parents an opportunity to learn more and discuss these issues with Dr. Xavier Amador on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. in the high school library.

Belated happy birthday to Susie Smith.

Yoga classes at Cutchogue New Suffolk Library start this evening, Oct. 6, 6 to 7:30 p.m. and run Thursdays through Dec. 15. The fee for the series is $60. Registration required.

All are invited to the North Fork Reform Synagogue’s Kol Nidre Service on Friday, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. Yom Kippur morning services are Saturday, Oct. 8, at 10 a.m. Afternoon, yiskor and concluding services are at 3:30 p.m. “On Rosh Hashana, it is written. On Yom Kippur, it is sealed.” So “G’mar Tov” (finish well) and “G’mar Chatima Tova” (may you be sealed in the book of life!) May you have an easy fast!

Have a good week!
