The Midway Jewish Centers Mens Club Veterans Day Breakfast
This annual program honors Midway members and community members who served in the military.
We invite members who served this country from the Syosset/Plainview NY area.

The Veterans Breakfast happens once a year around Veterans Day.
We have found this event to be very rewarding and fulfilling for the Mens Club, Midway Community and the especially the men and women who served.
We invite the veterans and their families while we honor them with the breakfast. We ask them to make a presentation or just have a conversation about their experiences and answer any questions.
We have had veterans who served including a 99 year old woman named Tess Garber, who enlisted in the military in 1943 and served as a teletype operator. She served as a US Marine Sargent. Tess was honored by a program called “Opening the Door”—honoring military women considered trailblazers for future females serving in the Armed Forces. We have also had members of the IDF who served. Our Rabbi Joel Levenson currently serves in our armed forces as a Chaplin for the National Guard.
