Spent some time last evening with neighbors in my hometown, @EastRockawayLI. Thank you to Mayor Bruno Romano & village board for putting together a great family event 🎄. @ANTHONYDESPO’s niece, Sailor, gave it rave reviews. So nice to see so many in the community turn out.

Many families lit the first candle on their menorahs this evening ushering in the Festival of Miracles. Wishing all who celebrate a very Happy Hanukkah.

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all our Veterans who served our nation to defend our Freedom and Liberty. 🇺🇲 #veteransday #veterans #thankyou

Columbus Day is not a day that’s set aside to honor an individual, but rather to recognize & honor an historic event - and culture pride - that began a period of over 500 years of worldwide immigration to America by oppressed people seeking a better life for their families. 2/2

Today is a day of Italian-American pride. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸 Despite the fact that Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean under the sponsorship of Spain, he was born in Genoa, Italy. In 1492, he arrived in the New World, coming to a land many did not know existed. 1/2

L’Shanah Tovah U’Metukah 🍏🍎 🍯 Wishing a happy, healthy & joyous New Year full of peace, prosperity and love to our Jewish neighbors.

Keep our troops & citizens in Afghanistan your prayers tonite for a speedy, safe return home. These brave US soldiers, contractors & civilians - joined by Afghan heroes - have fought against the Taliban's tyranny & harsh sanctions against women. 🇺🇸

I support @PaddyRyderNCPD and the men & women of the @NassauCountyPD.

We must never forget their service or sacrifice. All of us must never again let the yoke of fascism gain a foothold in civilization. 2/2

77 years ago today, American boys gave up their youth and innocence to set Europe free from Nazi tyranny and unspeakable atrocities. They, along with our Allies, made the world a safer place for all. 1/2

Remember. Honor. Respect. 🇺🇸

America stands with Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

Mother’s Day was always a fantastic tradition in our house, celebrating the glue that held us together. The love, devotion & selflessness that our mothers offer their children help create a better future. Wishing all mothers a fantastic day. Mom, I’m thinking of you up there! Xo

Unto every person there is a name. Never forget. Never again.

Easter reminds us of the hope we have in Christ. This season, let us remember to be our brothers and sisters’ keepers. May the peace and joy that comes with sharing abide with us. #HappyEaster

Crowds cut palms from the trees and spread them on the road in front of Jesus, and those who followed praised him saying "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest heaven!"  Wishing you a blessed Palm Sunday.

As Jewish families prepare for the Pesach seder, in person or virtually due to COVID-19, to celebrate liberation from slavery, we keep in mind that in every generation, we shall overcome. We will persevere & continue to pass on spiritual & cultural traditions. L’Dor Vador.
