Long Island teens remember fallen Israeli soldier Omer Neutra as a friend and role model

JL;DR SUMMARY The Long Island Jewish community mourns the death of Israeli soldier Omer Neutra, who grew up in the area and was deeply involved in local Jewish youth programs.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
