Roundup: Polar Plunge, Pizza, Post-Ruth Mannes …

Posted on January 2, 2025 | Comments Off on Roundup: Polar Plunge, Pizza, Post-Ruth Mannes …

Usually, the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge experience involves wading quickly into — and even more quickly out of — Long Island Sound.

This year’s experience was better — as in, warmer. At least, the air was not frigid yesterday.

There were 3 Polar Plunges yesterday, at Compo Beach. All were special experiences — especially the one that raised funds for Experience Camps.

That’s the Westport-based national, no-cost program for grieving children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. The Polar Plunge celebrated the opening of their newest location, set for KenMont and KenWood Camp in Kent, Connecticut this August.

Missed the Plunge (by mistake, or on purpose)? You can still donate. Just click here.

Forget s’mores and hot cocoa. Winter is really pizza time.

All winter long, Tony Pizza Napolitano continues making his wood-fired, Neopolitan/Brooklyn-style pies at Wakeman Town Farm.

Every Monday, he posts his weekly menu on his Facebook page (TonyPizzaNapolitano and confirms) whether he will be at the Farm (usually Tuesday).

Then: Pick it up. And enjoy!

There is always something new at MoCA CT.

Soon, there will be a new executive dirctor.

After 5 years at the Newtown Turnpike institution, Ruth Mannes has stepped down.

MoCA CT is searching for a new executive director.

Durng her tenure, 100,000 visitors have enjoyed 26 exhibitions by artists like Helmet Lang, Anselm Reyle, and Ann Weiner, plus 60 musical performances by Wynton Marsalis, Samara Joy, the Danish String Quartet and others.

MoCA has become the home of the Heida Hermanns International Music Competition, while Camp MoCA and other programs have served 4,000 learners of all ages.

A search committee has begun the process of appointing Mannes’ successor. Questions, nominations and resumes can be sent to careers@mocact.org.

Before the New Year’s Eve thunder, there was this bank of clouds over Saugatuck Shores.

A final sendoff to a stormy 2024? An omen of the year to come?

Joy To The (Westport) World

Posted on December 23, 2024 | 3 comments

2024 has been quite a year.

From the fractured national political landscape to fraught local controversies, folks are on edge.

But hey — it’s the holidays!

Let’s put aside our differences. Let’s slow down. Let’s appreciate, with delight and gratefulness, all the brightness in our lives.

Including our neighbors, who go out of their way to light up the lives of all who pass by.

Whatever their views, on whatever we will argue about after the new year.

Roundup: Staples Sports Controversy, Christmas Traditions, Chinese Chanukah …

Posted on December 17, 2024 | 10 comments

Kris Hrisovulos has quite a resumé as Staples High School boys tennis coach.

In 14 years at the helm, he has won 8 state championships and 5 FCIAC titles.

He was a 2022 finalist for National High School Tennis Coach of the year; the ’22 State Coach of the Year, and ’19 Sportsman of the Year. The winningest coach in Wreckers’ boys tennis history, he is also a Staples High School grad. As a member of the Class of 1999, Hrisovulos starred in both tennis and soccer.

He is respected and admired by generations of players and parents. Now, however, he is fighting a decision by the school to not rehire him.

According to a GoFundMe page for donations to his legal representation, he is also battling to “clear his name from unjust accusations” that led to the administrative decisin.

“The legal expenses to defend himself already amount to almost four times the stipend volunteer coaches like Kris get at the school for their priceless contribution to the community,” the GoFundMe page says.

It adds: “The school has failed to provide any details — including the results of a thorough investigation, or if one ever took place — and it is therefore unclear what information is public and can be shared at this point.

“What we do know is the strength of Coach Kris’ character, professionalism, and love for tennis education …. (T)he outpouring of support from players, parents, and residents speaks volumes about his record, his character and contributions to the Westport community.”

Athletic director VJ Sarullo declined an “06880” request for comment.

Christmas is about as traditional as a holiday gets.

But every family’s tradition is different.

Some celebrate ham; some with the Feast of the 7 Fishes, or food from other lands.

Some entertain in a special manner. Others head off to a special spot.

Some open gifts in a certain way. Some open them not on Christmas morning.

Does your family have a Christmas tradition? “06880” wants to know. Email 06880blog@gmail.com. And if you’ve got photos — send them along too!

One tradition: serving Christmas dinner to Homes with Hope clients.

==================================================

Speaking of which: The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport invites everyone to a special meditative service in their Lyons Plains Road sanctuary this Friday (December 20, 7 to 8 p.m).

It is “a quiet, reflective time for those of us who need such space in the midst of so much activity.”

The UU church adds: “This time of year, with so many holidays and celebrations, can bring joy and excitement to many. At the same time, it can also bring up memories of friends and family who are gone; of the challenges in our lives we are facing; and of the long nights that bring on the winter blues. This time to come together will help to dispel these blues and bring light into our lives.”

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation also invites residents to the Christmas Eve service (December 24, 9 p.m.).

==================================================

Speaking yet again of Christmas: Chabad Lubavitch of Westport is hosting a “Chinese Chanukah Party” at 5:30 p.m. that day.

There’s a good reason for the date: It’s also the first night of Chanukah.

The event includes a menorah lighting, fire show, latkes and donuts — and of course (because this is Christmas) Chinese food. Click here for more information.

================================================

Speaking still of the holidays: Westport’s winter fundraising drive — to send children from our sister city of Lyman, Ukraine to a camp in the mountains, a respite from a third winter of war — continues slowly.

Our goal of $56,000 would enable 200 boys and girls to enjoy time together, with teachers and therapists, at Karabin. The sports, crafts, games and movies — along with schoolwork — takes place in a setting far removed from their hometown, a few miles from the Russian front.

Right now, Lyman’s youngster have been evacuated. The therapeutic camp is a chance to enjoy normalcy, with friends and trusted adults.

It costs about $280 to send one child to Karabin, for 10 days.

How about it, Westport? Can we raise $56,000, to ensure that 200 kids in our sister city enjoy time away from the terrors of the past 3 years? 

Just click here. Under “Designation,” choose “Westport-Lyman sister city” from the dropdown menu. You can also choose a monthly or one-time donation. If you use the mail or Venmo option, please make a note: “For Westport-Lyman.”

Unsung Heroes #361

Posted on November 27, 2024 | 10 comments

Today, a group of mothers offers a shout-out to their children’s “amazing preschool”: the Little Gan at Chabad of Westport.

They were all in the first class there, after moving here during the pandemic. In June, their kids will be Littlel Gan’s first-ever preschool graduates.

Those members of the “founding families” want to share their experience. They write: 

There’s a hidden gem here in Westport that many people don’t know about.

During the pandemic, a group of visionary educators recognized that as more New Yorkers sought refuge in Westport, the need for additional nursery schools would only grow.

Chabad of Westport had the space — and the heart — to create something special for these families. That’s when the Little Gan was born.

From day one, we have been lucky to be a part of this magical place. Today, we want to thank the entire team who has played such an integral role in raising our children.

We are deeply grateful to the staff for recognizing that nursery school is not just about academics. It’s also about creating a community that feels like family.

The way you’ve helped us raise our children, while also educating and supporting us as parents, has been invaluable.

The school’s approach, which includes occupational therapists, speech therapists and child psychologists, ensures that every child thrives in their own way.

We can’t express enough how much we appreciate the dedication you show in meeting each child’s individual needs.

Your sensory and playrooms provide a nurturing space for every child to grow at their own pace. The details, the commitment—you truly go above and beyond.

To the faculty: We are speechless. What you do every day feels like magic. Even though we see it, we still can’t quite figure out how you manage to make learning so fun, so engaging, and so meaningful.

You spoke to us about independence, about setting the bar high, about the importance of checking on milestones. You promised us you would create lifelong learners, laying the strongest foundation for reading, writing and STEM.

At the time, we didn’t fully grasp what that meant or why it mattered. Now, as we reach the 4s and watch our children learning to read, write, think critically and explore math in ways we never imagined, we get it.

We are blown away by how far they’ve come. We never want to leave. And for those of you who will be part of pre-K, we admit: We feel a little jealous!

For those whose time here is nearing its end, we want to extend our deepest thanks to our unsung heroes. You are truly our dream team. Our hearts are already heavy at the thought of saying goodbye to this magical place.

With deep gratitude,
Members of the Little Gan founding families

Teens Turn Antisemitism Into Teachable Moment

Posted on November 20, 2024 | 13 comments

A disturbing antisemitic incident has had a very positive outcome.

Late Monday evening, Rabbi Michael Friedman sent this message to his Temple Israel congegants:

Dear Friends,

A few weeks ago, on the day before Kol Nidrei, and just a few days after the first anniversary of October 7, a swastika was etched on the football locker of a Jewish student at Weston High School.

A swastika etched on a Jewish student’s locker is different from a swastika drawn, for example, on a bathroom stall or the seat of a school bus (both of which have also happened locally in recent years), because this is a targeted act.

But the story I want to tell you is not one of persecution and antisemitism. Instead, this is a story of resilience and pride, and about the great faith we should have in the next generation.

The student on whose locker the swastika was etched — who grew up here at Temple Israel — was brave enough to inform coaches and the athletic director.

Weston High School athletics

Then later that very evening another Jewish student on the football team — also a Temple Israel student — recorded a courageous and emotional message to his teammates about the impact this swastika had on him, and posted it on the team’s internal chat.

The school administration and town police swiftly coordinated a thorough investigation, according to the policies and procedures that they have in place. Ultimately the investigation was inconclusive; we don’t know who etched the swastika.

A group of Temple Israel teens had recently formed the Jewish Student Union at Weston High School, and swiftly jumped into action.

They approached the principal and administration, advocating for a schoolwide assembly to address the incident. These teen leaders envisioned, shaped, organized, executed and led that schoolwide assembly on Friday morning. They demonstrated initiative and leadership throughout the process.

The assembly included words from the targeted student, the testimony of a Holocaust survivor which was paired with an engaging video, and a message from Senator Blumenthal that the students them themselves had reached out and obtained.

The students also asked me to speak. I taught about the power of symbols, which not only stand for something concrete but also invoke certain emotions and feelings.

I showed a series of symbols on the screen and asked students to share what that symbol made them feel.

When we got to the swastika, Jewish students were able to share in front of their peers how the etching of a swastika on a Jewish student’s locker made them feel targeted, and how the act reverberated throughout the Jewish community of our town.

Finally a representative from the ADL taught about strategies by which one can oppose hate.

The assembly was an excellent and impactful educational experience for the entire school. I want to underscore that the students themselves envisioned, created, shaped and ran the assembly from start to finish. And I credit the school administration for trusting and supporting them, and for giving them the opportunity to stand up and lead.

I am so very proud of the Temple Israel teens who took action following this antisemitic incident.

When the response to an act of hate could have been fear or silence, what the high school community saw instead was courage and pride. Each of them — starting with the one whose locker was targeted, continuing to his football teammate, and then to the many leaders of the JSU — provide a model for all of us.

Many of them began in our Early Childhood Center. All of them were (or are) students in our Kesher program. They embody what success looks like for all our children: to be knowledgeable and proud Jews, and when the time comes for them to act in the world, they do so with courage and integrity.

Thanks to them, even in these trying times which can often feel very dark, we know that the future is very bright.

L’shalom,
Rabbi Michael S. Friedman

Steffi Friedman’s Story, In Sculpture

Posted on November 20, 2024 | 4 comments

Steffi David was born in Berlin in 1925 — a century ago, next year.

Her idyllic childhoood — visiting museums with her dentist father, skiing in Czechoslovakia, summering in Switzerland — ended abruptly when Hitler gained power.

In 1937, she and her fellow Jewish classmates were banned from German schools.

The next year — 2 weeks before Kristallnach — 13-year-old Steffi, her father, mother and sister escaped by train to Amsterdam. They had transient visas.

They moved on, penniless, to Panama. At 15 Steffi moved once again, this time — alone — to live with an aunt and uncle in Queens. Within 2 months, she was fluent in English.

Encouraged by a teacher, Steffi earned a scholarship to the Art Students League in Manhattan. She took night classes at the Pratt Institute. During the day, she worked.

Her first job was as a graphic artist. She gave half her salary to her parents, who had finally joined her in America.

After marrying Bridgeport native Al Friedman, and building a home on Yankee Hill Road in Westport, she gave up her career to raise 3 children.

Steffi Friedman

When the youngest was in junior high, Steffi began studying sculpture at the Silvermine School of Art. Her teacher and mentor, Stenley Bleifeld, was later named International Sculptor of the Year.

After 8 years as a student, Steffi became a teacher herself — first at Fairfield University, then for 30 years in her home studio.

She also volunteered, working with talented inner city youth through Neighborhood Studios of Fairfield County.

For 19 years she ran Camp Terra Cotta, teaching people from around the world in Vermont.

Steffi worked into her 80s. She was prolific in terra cotta, bronze and stone.

Her work is now part of over 100 private collections. It was shown in galleries throughout the US.

It lives on in Westport too. Temple Israel commissioned several pieces, including one of Golda Meir.

Steffi Friedman, with her Golda Meir sculpture.

“Never Again” hangs on an outside wall. Dedicated in 2004 as part of the temple’s “Tolerance Center,” Steffi considered it her most important work.

“Never Again,” at Temple Israel.

Steffi’s “Pas de Deux” ballet has a place of honor in the Staples High School courtyard. Earthplace features a large piece — “Free to Be Me” — in the atrium, and another smaller work. She also donated 2 sculptures to the Westport Library’s children’s section.

“Pas de Deux,” in the Staples High School courtyard.

“Her art was how she expressed her emotions,” Steffi’s daughter Margie says. “She was so pleased these pieces are all over town.”

Steffi Friedman died in 2019, after complications of a stroke and dementia. She was 94.

Margie Friedman

When her daughter emptied the home her mother had lived in for 67 years, she found hundreds of photos and slides of Steffi’s work. Worried they might be lost — but unsure what to do with them — Margie shipped them to her home in Santa Monica, California.

Soon, she realized she had enough material for a book.

Maggie scanned the images, cleaned them up, found a self-publishing company, wrote text, and created layouts

It took 2 years. Margie — a 1972 Staples graduate — worked around her full-time job, as a TV producer.

The result is “Steffi Friedman: Sculpture.” The 118-page book, printed handsomely on glossy paper, includes dozens of photos of the artist’s work, along with her compelling, first-person bio.

In one section, Margie explains the importance of Jewish themes to her mother’s work. Other sections include figurative sculptures, ballet dancers, children, portraits, fairies and nymphs, stone, abstracts, nature, commemorations and illustrations.

The audience is both local (Steffi’s friends, fans and former students in Fairfield County) and global. Margie has sent copies to Holocaust and Jewish museums and organizations worldwide — including one in Berlin, which holds her mother’s family’s artifacts and writings.

Feedback has been gratifying.

“People love the breadth and depth of the artwork,” Margie says.

“A lot of people didn’t know her story. She didn’t talk about it for years.

“She would have loved this.”

(“Steffi Friedman: Sculpture” is available at the Westport Barnes & Noble. It can also be ordered from Maggie. Email wgwmargie@aol.com for details.)

Steffi Friedman’s “Free To Be Me” is now on view at Earthplace.

Photo Challenge #516

Posted on November 17, 2024 | 6 comments

Hidden in plain sight.

That’s where last week’s Photo Challenge was.

If you’ve ever sat outside at Mrs. London’s, parked in the Baldwin lot near Church Lane, or had any reason to visit Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, you’ve seen the fenced in playground between the church and the Seabury Center next door.

Except, apparently, no one notices it.

Pam Kopack was the only reader to correctly identify last week’s image. (Click here to see.)

Other guesses included Haskins Preserve, Winslow Park, Earthplace, private homes, the Westport Library, Wakeman Town Farm, Riverside Park, and — close, but wrong pew — Green’s Farms Church.

It’s on now to this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
