Enclosing Westhampton Hamptons Synagogue Petitions the Village to Allow it to put up a “Wall” By Dan Rattiner In ancient times, before the appearance of Christianity, the Jews living in the Middle East, often at the mercy of oppressors, made it a hard and fast rule to designate one day a week when they would worship the Lord and do no work. They wrote in the Torah, the book of laws, how these rules were to be observed, and rabbis interpreted them for thousands of years in another book called the Talmud. And since that day, from sundown Friday night to sundown Saturday night for Orthodox Jews these rules are in effect, just as later on Sunday became the day of observance and rest for the Christian faith. The rabbis were very busy people, interpreting what was in the Torah to their various congregants. Much of the time they disagreed from one congregation to another. But overall, the rule of no work on the Sabbath still stands. And it is soon to be interpreted in a very public way in Westhampton Beach that I thought you might like to know about. Rabbi Marc Schneier of the Hampton Synagogue in that town has proposed to the Village Board that something called an eruv be erected to encircle that Village. It will consist of small sticks nailed about two thirds

the way up certain telephone poles, with thick strings connecting the sticks across avenues and up and down certain streets. It will form a symbolic wall surrounding the Village, which will allow certain activities inside the wall to take place on that day of rest where up to now, by the orthodox interpretation of some of the congregants, it cannot. “We have as many as a thousand worship-

Village will consider the request further at a work session on April 16. If it is approved, it will be the first eruv in the Hamptons. According to a Supreme Court decision involving a case in Teaneck, New Jersey, eruvs are legal, within reason. Those opposed to eruvs filed a lawsuit claiming an eruv was a violation of the separation of church and state, but the justices ruled that a town could prevent the construction of an eruv only if there is a very good reason. No town has yet come up with one. Today, there are hundreds of eruvs in communities around America — Teaneck, Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan’s Upper East and West Sides (it crosses the park), Phoenix, Memphis, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Providence, Dallas, Chicago and even Washington, DC, where an eruv encloses an area of that city that includes the White House. Make no mistake, an eruv is a long, continuous string strung from telephone pole to telephone pole, or where there is no telephone pole, just a specially built pole to enclose a place. They are up there, visible just as telephone wires are. But that’s it. Currently, Richard Haefeli, the Synagogue’s attorney, is negotiating with LIPA to put the

In some cases, mothers cannot push their baby carriages to get to the synagogue, because the Torah tells them they cannot unless they build an eruv.” Mayor Conrad Teller, who is not Jewish, is looking into the matter, and, in fact, is doing a whole study on it so he understands it.

The Actors Fund is a nationwide human services organization that helps all professionals, both performers and those behind the scenes, in performing arts and entertainment. * * * Katie Lee Joel celebrated the release of her cookbook, The Comfort Table, at the Hudson Hotel last week. Along with husband Billy Joel and his daughter Alexa, guests included Rachael Ray, Jared Kushner, Tom Freston and Wendi Murdoch. * * * The mystery buyer of the Old Trees estate in Southampton has been revealed, and it’s not Tiger Woods. Developer Rodney Propp purchased the 10.5-acre estate situated on Lake Agawam for $39 million. * * * Marty Richards, the producer who once owned the Old Trees estate, has won an 18year argument in New Jersey’s Supreme Court. The court ruled that Richards is indeed the “spouse” of his late wife Mary Lea Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson empire, and is entitled to money from the family’s trust. The Johnson family has long insisted that Richards had no claim to the family’s fortune when Mary Lea died in 1990. * * * Nello Balan, owner of Southampton’s posh Nello Summertimes restaurant and lounge, is expanding to the North Fork. The restaurateur has purchased two buildings in Greenport, where he plans to open a hotel and restaurant next year. * * * Both of Andy Warhol’s previous New York City residences are on the market. Tom Freston, former President and CEO of Viacom who owns Warhol’s longtime residence on East 66th Street, listed the six-story house for $38.5 million. A smaller townhouse at 1342 Lexington Avenue that served as Warhol’s original factory is also on the market for $5.9 million. * * * Emma Walton, actress and co-founder of Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, appeared on Hamptons TV’s “American Dreams” show, which is filmed at Gurney’s Inn and hosted by Ingrid Lemme.

eruv lines up on their poles. Imagine that. A community that WANTS telephone poles, while the residents of Water Mill fight to have new telephone lines put underground. Here is what Mayor Teller and several others are finding as they study Jewish law. On the Jewish Sabbath, the Torah says that you may not sweep the floor, operate a car or even be a passenger in one, or turn on an electric light anywhere inside or outside your home. You can’t even carry things. But the rabbis, after interpreting the wording, found exceptions to what you can do inside your home. You can pick up things and move them around in your home, for example. You can carry food. You can put dishes away. And you can help with children. When

you think about it, there HAD to be exceptions for things that needed to be done inside your home on the Sabbath. Rabbis also studied and interpreted what would be okay and not okay at the demarcation line separating home and the outside world. They came up with three principles. Moving an object from an enclosed area (such as a private home, public building or fencedin area) to a major thoroughfare would be illegal. Moving an object from a major thoroughfare to an enclosed area would be illegal. And moving an object more than four cubits (that’s about six feet) within a major thoroughfare inside the eruv would be illegal. Of course, then they had to define the word “thoroughfare.” And what is a “major thor-

...but the other guy said he’d give me their special promotional price and a free seafood dinner for two. How could you go wrong? And I would also save a few bucks. You know how it is. How was I to know that the free dinner would be in that hole in the ground that was supposed to be my pool. On its own salad. I don’t know what to do. The other guy is gone. His phone is disconnected. Now my wife isn’t talking to me.

My next door neighbor looks at me and says “Grribbit, grribbit. I’m going to call the town about your frog farm”. George, please help me out. A little far fetched? Maybe. Maybe not. We’ve been designing, building and maintaining award winning pools and spas here for over 35 years. Quite a few pool and spa companies have come and gone in that time. No free seafood dinners. Just fair prices and a sparkling clear pool.

oughfare.” The debates went long into the night. And then, when they got done with that, they began to consider the definition of “home” or “closed in area.” Solutions emerged. It was agreed that if you lived in a walled city, you could consider that the wall created a “home,” provided some other residents of the city broke bread with you. Then, inside those walls, you could lift and carry certain things that up until then you could not. The key was the wall. So the “carry” rule was extended to the edge of the city walls. There were many nuances to this interpretation. In some congregations, a small berm might be considered a wall. Or perhaps just a row of trees might be considered a wall. Eventually, it was agreed that if you could surround a small place with a symbolic wall consisting of an overhead string running around it, that would do. The string, the eruv in Hebrew, could cross over busy thoroughfares high up on the poles, creating a gateway experience, exactly mimicking the experience of a doorway into a private home or an open arch leading into a city. I think you get the idea. Here on Long Island, there are eruvs surrounding a whole number of villages, all at the western end of the Island. Two of these eruvs near the city, one in Lawrence and one in Far Rockaway, were found to share one “wall.” After some wrangling about the details, the rabbis arranged to “open” that one wall, so the eruvs could be contiguous. It gave people more space in which to carry things. In sum, the Jews are putting up strings. And it remains fascinating what you can or cannot do inside or outside the string, as far as schlepping goes. Particularly at the string itself. For example, a Jewish person might help carry one end of a heavy piano a certain distance within the confines of the wall on the Sabbath. But as soon as he gets to the overhead string, that’s it. That marks the farthest reaches of his “home.” As for a woman with a child in a stroller, she could push the stroller, but when she reached the string, she’d have to take her child out and have a less observant person, sometimes a non-Jew, carry him or her, leaving the stroller behind. There are also interesting things that will be done at the eruv. Once a week it has to be inspected by a rabbi to make sure that it remains in order. If there is a break, the word spreads that the eruv is broken, and the rules change for the Jewish community until it is fixed. Rabbi Schneier himself has to observe another rule. He has to serve bread to a variety of the citizenry of Westhampton Beach once a year just inside the string. The bread, often matzoh, shows that inside this wall, it is “home” for all. When non-Jews or less orthodox Jews eat the bread, it shows that they acknowledge this “home” for Jews and for everybody else. Thus God sees that it is so. I hope Mayor Teller, if the village goes along with this, likes matzoh. •

Police Action To Keep Montauk’s Parade a Family Affair, They Smashed Some Booze By Dan Rattiner If you went to either the dump or any of the railroad station platforms on eastern Long Island the day after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Montauk, you would have noticed something very strange. These places smelled of alcohol. The reason for this is simple. This was the result of a police action taken to keep this year’s parade from becoming like last year’s parade, when an unacceptable number of the 20,000 spectators got drunk and behaved in a rowdy manner. It wouldn’t happen again. Weeks before the parade, the chiefs of the police departments in

Montauk, East Hampton, Southampton and all the way down the line met to develop a plan to keep it a family affair. The parade kicked off at 12:30 p.m. with the first of nearly a hundred very colorful, spectacular and musical floats stepping out and leading the line of them from the Montauk Railroad Station toward town two miles away. It would be over by 3 p.m. with the last of the big floats, the Coneheads, passing by the reviewing stand on Main Street and then drifting off in the general direction of Napeague. The police assumed correctly that people coming from up-Island to enjoy this parade — and Montauk was glad to have them since it gave a

real economic shot in the arm during the offseason — would leave home earlier in the morning. They’d either drive out, or go to the railroad station and board one of the special trains heading out there, all after 8 a.m. There was not much the police could do about those driving out, except have a huge police presence at the parade itself, which they did. But for the train, the police could be “invited” by the railroad to come out to the platforms and enforce the rule that says there are to be no open liquor containers allowed either on the platforms or carried onto the passenger cars. And so, between 9 a.m. and noon, the police (continued on page 36)

NOTES ON SECEDING FROM THE STATE & COUNTY By Dan Rattiner For the last two weeks calls for secession have been in the news here on Long Island. First it was about the five eastern towns getting together to break off from Suffolk and form a new County, because in the county legislature, the eastern five towns have two votes, while the western six towns have 17. Not fair. We’ve threatened often. Indeed, over the years on three occasions the eastern towns have filed papers to press this case. The new county would be called Peconic County. Carved away, Peconic County would prosper. The rest of Suffolk County would falter

and that’s because the West End wouldn’t have the East End to kick around anymore. And the much smaller West End would no longer be the recipient of the huge financial bundle they’ve been getting because of the imbalance in the legislature, which was created by “One Man One Vote.” Though all of these tries failed — the last one because of just one man, Assemblyman Sheldon Silver — many still think that Peconic County will come to pass. We’ve got a set of plans for it. We’ve even designed a flag, which you may have seen flying here and there — a blue background with five gold stars. We’re ready.

But now there is a second group of people that wants to secede. And it’s not just against Suffolk County. This is a group that wants to make Long Island the 51st state. Suffolk County Comptroller Joe Sawicki says that Long Island is in the same position as it relates to the whole United States that the East End is in relating to Suffolk County. And he’s calling for a meeting of all Long Island leaders to see what can be done about it. I might note that four times since the United States was founded, groups tried to carve a new state out of an older one. An attempt to divide (continued on page 38)

By Dan Rattiner Last Thursday, some people, without authorization, entered the Hampton Subway Club Southampton Station, took the escalator down to the platform, started up the subway car that was parked there and proceeded to run it on its normal route underground throughout the Hamptons. We are told by our security people that as many as 100 people were involved in this dastardly act and that it went on for the rest of the day with people getting on and off at the various stops as if the subway were in use as an authorized transportation facility. I want to make it clear that breaches such as this will not be tolerated. The Hampton Subway is closed for business. We, the Hussein Tel Aviv Company LLC, have purchased it and shortly will begin to convert it to its new intended use, which is as an upscale, exclusive, private underground club with a $1 million initiation fee, although I am free to tell you that the initiation fee, under certain circumstances, can be as little as $850,000. I emphasize the word “club.”

Violators will be punished. Our new Security Manager, Eliot Spitzer, who was busy with other things when this breach took place, is now back and will be fully vigilant. So be warned. On another matter, I am told that there is an effort on the part of our public officials to buy back the subway system from our club to restore it back to its former use. We here at Hussein Tel Aviv Company LLC are fully appreciative that the subway was in use for nearly 15 years, carrying folks back and forth underground to the different stations prior to our purchase. But the money offered, which is $500 million, mentioned in a bill that is being considered up in Albany, is less than half of what we want. It is true we only paid $800,000 for the old system. But in its decrepit condition, and considering all the unpaid bills that were on the books, that price

was all it was worth. This will all need to be accounted for. As for the disgraced former Commissioner of the old Hampton Subway, Bill Aspinall, he was convicted of the 172 charges involving bribery, extortion, mismanagement and simple theft two weeks ago and though we sympathize with his family, we do have to say that the death sentence handed down to him last week in State Supreme Court in Islip by Judge Irene Hardman is not nearly as much as we think he deserved. He can console himself there on death row with the knowledge that he is the only person in America to ever be sentenced to death for a non-capital offense. At least that is something. This breach of security was reported to the police. Sean MacTavish Club Manager
