Plainview residents Ronen and Orna Neutra, the parents of Captain Omer Neutra, attended a recent meeting of the Oyster Bay Town Board to thank Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the board for their unwavering love and support of the State of Israel, the hostages and humanity.
Neutra was a tank commander with the Israeli Defense Forces when kidnapped and killed in the attacks on Oct. 7, 2023. As a token of appreciation to the town, the family presented a piece of artwork to the Board, which was created by an Israeli Navy SEAL and artist.
The artwork, entitled “The Map of Resilience,” symbolizes the resilience of the Israeli people and humanity across the world, who are fighting for the light and pushing away the darkness. Rabbi Chanan Krivisky, Spiritual Leader and Director of MiYaD in Jericho, was on hand to support the Neutra Family and lead the meeting in prayer.
