Rabbi Elliot Schrier Named Mara D’Atra of Bnai Yeshurun By Elizabeth Kratz | April 28, 2021
After an exhaustive 18-month rabbinic search and interview process, punctuated by a global pandemic, Rabbi Elliot Schrier was named mara d’atra of Teaneck’s Congregation Bnai Yeshurun (CBY). The role became available when Rabbi Steven Pruzansky announced plans to make aliyah in 2019, after more than a quarter century serving at the helm of Teaneck’s 530-families-strong shul. Rabbi Schrier will join the rabbinic team of Rabbi Ari Zahtz and Assistant Rabbi Yosef Weinberger.

(Jewish Link Staff and combined sources) The website for North Shore Hebrew Academy in Great Neck was hacked on Monday, December 14. Multiple sources noted that anti-Semitic images, video, songs, threats and racial slurs were posted to the page. These messages were also included in emails sent to school parents and students that same day.
For a few hours, the North Shore logo on the school’s page was changed to a swastika. The background image was changed as well, to that of a concentration camp, and the school’s name and address on the website became “North Shore Hebrew Concentration Camp,” located at the address for the camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
