Cutchogue-New Suffolk: A pancake breakfast, a garden tour, and library programs

As a child, one’s sole responsibility is to oneself and becoming the best child possible. Jewish faith teaches that at age 13 a boy becomes a man. In ancient times, with the average life span being 40 or so, it was reasonable to consider that a boy became a man at such a young age. With today’s modern-day sensibilities, we realize the lesson of becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is that from that day forward one must accept responsibility for one’s actions and accept the call to make our world a better place!

Our son Greg will join the generations of those who came before him this Shabbat, Saturday, June 11, as he follows this tradition and is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah (son of the commandments). We welcome family and friends, including Greg’s grandparents Debbie and Irwin Horowitz from Boynton Beach, Fla., and Aunt Caren, Uncle Steven and Cousin Tyler Horowitz from West Palm Beach. Wishing him all the best today and always!

Our Lady of Mercy school in Cutchogue serves students from Orient to Riverhead. They are all proud to offer their congratulations to second-grade teacher AnnaMarie Spina on winning the Educator of the Year Award from the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation. The Archdiocese held a gala fundraiser on May 26 to honor her and others. Last year, Mercy principal Lorraine Delgenio received the Administrator of the Year Award. Board members, administrators and staff are grateful for the opportunity to offer their “gem of a school” as an option on the North Fork.
