SULAM-LI remembers Sammy Stein

Students, parents and friends took part in a day of remembrance for Sammy Stein on May 3. A SULAM-LI student, Stein died last spring.
First the group planted flowers around the tree that was dedicated to Stein at Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere. Then they ate pizza, listened to music and the children had structured play at Great Play, also in Woodmere. SULAM-LI plans on holding this memorial celebration annually.
Stein was confined to a wheelchair and could not speak, He attended SULAM-LI for a decade and with the help of Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg, Stein was bar mitzvahed along with his brother, Josh, sat Congregation Sons of Israel several years ago.
SULAM-LI is a supplemental religious school for special-needs Jewish children. It meets on Sundays from 10 a.m. to noon at the Friedberg JCC in Oceanside. It was founded in the Five Towns and was previously housed at Temple Hillel in North Woodmere.
