On Sunday, May 15 Congregation Tifereth Israel (CTI) in Glen Cove rekindles these wonderful memories of growing up in New York City Brooklyn/Bronx Day.

Beginning at 10 a.m., bubbies (grandmothers) and zaidies (grandfathers) will demonstrate and teach a new generation of children the games they played growing up on the streets of New York. Expect to see plenty of Spalding balls, jacks, pick-up sticks and penny candies for all. There might even be an egg cream or two!
