A portion of Manetto Hill Road, which adjoins the Mid-Island Y JCC, was renamed “Captain Omer Neutra Way” in honor of a 21-year-old Plainview resident who was killed in the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. The street renaming ceremony, which drew a crowd of over 1,000 on Sunday, April 6, unveiled the sign outside of the JCC, honoring Neutra’s commitment to his community.
“We are here today to recognize and memorialize one of our own,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He said Nassau County is the third-largest Jewish county in the nation, after Kings County in Brooklyn and Los Angeles County, with almost 300,000 people identifying as Jewish.
