Was Captain of IDF, Killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023
A special dedication ceremony will take place at a Town of Oyster Bay Neighborhood Park in memory of Captain Omer Neutra, a Plainview native and graduate of the Schechter School of Long Island, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists while serving in the Israel Defense Forces on October 7, 2023.
This ceremony will honor Omer’s unwavering courage, selfless bravery, and his ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom and democracy. To ensure his legacy lives on, the Town has redesigned this Plainview neighborhood park, which now features significant upgrades, including a new basketball court for children and families to enjoy.
The program will include remarks from Supervisor Saladino, County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a prayer by Rabbi Joel Levenson of Midway Jewish Center, participation from the Schechter School of Long Island, and heartfelt words from Omer’s loved ones. Local leaders, neighbors, and community members are encouraged to attend as we come together to remember this beloved son of Plainview and to dedicate a space that will forever bear his name.
