Merrick Jewish Centre

06/02/2026

Our Educational Director, Sharon Solomon, shares that it was such an honor to march with the Merrick Jewish Centre and the consortium of Long Island synagogues in Sunday's Israel Day Parade! 🇮🇱

What an incredible coming together of congregants, staff, and families, all united in love and support for the State of Israel. The pride, energy, and enthusiasm in the air were truly electric, and it was a powerful reminder of the strength and spirit of our Jewish community.

The community came shoulder to shoulder in their love and support for our beautiful Medinat Yisrael.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of our people united.
