Lifelong Learning Series Presents: The Golden Age of Aviation on Long Island
Presented by the Cradle of Aviation
The years between the end of World War I and the beginning of World War II are often referred to as the “Golden Age” of aviation. On Long Island, aircraft manufacturing boomed, and pioneering pilots made countless flights to and from the area’s many airfields, mostly located along the Hempstead Plains in Nassau County. Come and learn about this era of innovation on Long Island.

Knitting and Crocheting Workshop
Works of fiber are described in details in the scriptures – relating to weaving. In the early years pre and post the birth of Israel, Knitting and Crocheting took hold. Sweaters and hats were needed for the cold damp winters, and a crochet Kippah was all the rage. Join our own master knitter Beth Mukamal as she guides you in crafting your own knitted or crocheted creation. Make for yourself, your family or to give away to charities in Israel.
