Oheka Castle is not only a monument to the bankingsuccess of financier and arts patron Otto Hermann Kahn,it is a testament to his triumph over anti-Semitism.
Kahn built the second-largest private residence in theUnited States on the North Shore of Long Island in NewYork, now renovated and home to the creme de la cremeof weddings and other special events, when he and hisfamily were not accepted in their previous hometown of
Morristown, N.J. because they were Jewish. Kahn was evenbanned from the train in that town running to Manhattan,dubbed, "The Millionaires Express" due to its many well-heeled riders, because of his heritage.
Mr. Kahn built the immense 1919 residence,just 31 miles West of Midtown Manhattan, asa summer home and weekend retreat for hiswife, Addie and four children.
After four years of construction, the Kahnswould go on to entertain luminaries of the dayincluding Charlie Chaplin, Enrico Caruso andheads of state within its walls. Well, Mr. Kahnwould - his wife ended up finding the partyinga bit wearying after too many pretty starletscaught her husband's eye. The man who couldnot fit in to his previous community was now aquintessential host and touted as the "King of New York" by
Will Rogers.
Dalia Baratian, an event planner and designer who hasdone several events at Oheka, helps guests feel like Kingsand Queens of New York. Not only has she done manystunning events at the castle, she booked her own son's
bar mitzvah at the historic estate.
"I am an event planner and designer," she explained. "I dosearch around for venues, and found Oheka to be one of
the best for all occasions. Her business is Soiree SignatureDesigns, 450 7th Ave, Suite 2206, New York, N.Y 10038,(516) 343-0982. "The beauty ofoutdoor and indoor, the historyand the class of the entire
place, the privacy, the size andshape of the rooms, thefurniture, only one event at atime, the service, the staff andthe one of a kind hospitality allmake me recommend it. "Ihave and still will recommendthis venue to all my clients aswell as friends and family,especially since I have provenover and over that Oheka is notonly the best venue forweddings but it is a formidableplace for other occasions, from
luncheons to bar mitzvahs..."In the case of her son's bar mitzvah, she illuminated thegates and the rest of the building in red light, "whichlooked great and warm for the month of February. "Themost unique thing about this event was that I was able tobring a modern masculine look in the most traditionalcastle and it not only did not clash, but lookedexceptionally beautiful and different. And of course whenBryan the bar mitzvah boy stood on the stage and playedthe guitar and surprised the guests with the most popularsongs of the 70's and some 80's. "This is one of the rarevenues that a designer would not have a hard time bringinghis/her ideas and designs to magnificence. "
Oheka is now 80 percent restored after years of
vandalism, including many fires, and is now open tovisitors for weddings, mansion tours, corporate retreats,bar and bat mitzvahs, fund-raisers and film productions.Oheka is also a luxury hotel with 32 guestrooms on theupper floors of the estate. It is 115,000 square feet with115 rooms and 50 baths.

Its survival owes to the steel and concrete Kahn insisted onusing after a previous residence of his was lost in a fire.Some of the walls at Oheka are three-and-a-half feet thick. As Kahn wanted the site to have a commanding viewand presence, earth was hauled by laborers to set it on the
hill Oheka now enjoys. The cost of the structure was$11 million plus $1 million for the original 443 acres in
Cold Spring Harbor where it was erected. Cold SpringCountry Club and its golf course now stand on some of theoriginal acreage and is available for hotel guests of Ohekato enjoy. There are occasional events hosted at Ohekawhich are open to the public. See Upcoming Events onwww.oheka.com for more information.
Some of the highlights of the home include the grand entrystaircase, modeled after the horseshoe staircase atFontainebleau; faux boix plasterwork, a Medievaltechnique which looks like woodwork, is painted in a
warm amber in the library; and a ballroom where ArturoToscanini once performed and scenes for "DeLovely" werefilmed, seats 350.
After Mr. Kahn diedin 1934, the familysold the estate to the Welfare Fund of theSanitation Workers,which used it as aretirement home,renaming it "Sanita."During World War IIit was used by theMerchant Marines as a radio operators school, and in 1948
it became a military academy before falling into disuse.Kahn biographer Theresa M. Collins called the banker, "themost influential patron of the arts ever known to America."She cited his bringing a Golden Age to the Metropolitan
Opera, the dancer Vaslav Nijinsky to America and investing $10,000 in"Lady Be Good!" after hearing GeorgeGershwin play, "The Man I Love," asexamples of his generosity.
Developer Gary Melius of Long Islandpurchased Oheka (an acronym for OttoHermann Kahn) and its remaining 23acres for 1.5 million dollars in 1984after the Cold Spring Hills Civic Association sought to save it. He haspoured $30 million more into theestate in a restoration that employedmany historians, restoration expertsand Long Island Gold Coast architects.Slate from the original quarry in Vermont was brought in;workers were dispatched to the Library of Congress tounearth letters Kahn had written about the gardens torevive them.
"There were manynaysayers whoadvised him (Mr. Melius) againstbuying Oheka, buthe forged aheaddespite a host ofproblems rangingfrom the terriblestate of disrepair to issues with the town of Huntingtonzoning board," said Mary McCaffery, a frequent visitor fromBethpage, N.Y. "I feel very lucky to be a part of Oheka'slife," Mr. Melius said.
His daughters, Kelly Melius and Nancy Melius (a formerBroadway stage dancer) have joined the family business,helping manage special events. "We are both enormouslyproud of our father and privileged to be a part of his visionfor Oheka," said Ms. Melius. "He fell in love with Oheka andset out to bring back to life this historic and monumentaltreasure of American history in a way that respects andpreserves the integrity of the estate while giving visitorsthe chance to experience Oheka as it was intended...as ahome, a retreat and a fantastic place to hold a party."

Your older child is fighting with a
younger sibling. Your immediate
response: Lecturing why fighting
is wrong. This is not the best way.
Your child is not interested in hear-
ing that its his fault and he will
blame his younger sibling for start-ing up with him. The better way is:
let it go for now. Another day, when
he is calm, tell him an inspirational
story with the moral of the story be-
ing the importance of getting along
with a younger sibling.

Once, at lunch, there was a kid and
nobody would let him have some
orange juice and they
made fun of him. I
asked my friend to pass
me the orange juice
and my friend gave
the orange juice and
I poured the shy kid
up to the top. I asked
him if he is OK and
got him a seat next to
me. We became friends
and I protect him from
the kids that were
mean to him in school.

Avi came call-

Sure! Yo-
chanan said,
Why not?
Thanks a ton,

Avi beamed.
Five minutes
later, the least
popular kid in class came stomp-
ing into the lunch room. His name
was Shlomo. Most kids thought he
was weird; there were tons of ru-
mors about him. Uh, Yochanan,
he said softly, Can I eat with you?
Uh, stuttered Yochanan. Sure,
why not? Avi said, giving Yo-
chanan a stern look. Th-thanks,
Shlomo said politely. After lunch,
Yochanan asked Avi why he agreed.
For the last time, there is nothing
wrong about him, Avi said angrily.
But, what about those rumors?
Yochanan exclaimed. Who said
they are true? Besides, you are so
cruel to him. Give him a chance!

Someone walked up to my friend
and I while we were eating lunch.
She wanted to sit with us and my
friend said, No. I
got sad and felt bad
for the girl. So, I
called her name and
told her to come sit.
My friend was very
angry and was tell-
ing me to make the
girl leave. I said,
No. Why should
I? Thats not nice.
She is a very nice
girl. Why cant
you just let her
sit? My friend -
nally agreed and
the girl sat down.
The next day, my
friend said, Tell
her to sit with us today. I really
liked her. That day at lunch, she

her lunch fell on her. Several girls
teased her,
bothered her,
and even made
her cry. I told
my friends that
we should let
her sit with
us. My friends
then started
to laugh. So, I
went and asked
her if she want-

turned into

When I sat
with her, she told me how she felt.
I felt really bad for her. Then, when
my friends saw me sitting with her
and not them, they all got up and

was just like us. So, we all became

was new in school. She was very
shy and didnt talk much. The popu-

One of her friends said that what
she was doing wasnt really nice.
Another friend agreed with her and
soon the popular girl began to feel
like she made a mistake. The popu-

one table either studying for a subject
or reading. Thats how I got so smart.
While everyone is laughing, talking,
and sharing stories, I am the girl that
just reads during lunch. The girl that
no one bothers-until yesterday. Tif-
fany, Ashley and some other girls
kicked me off their table calling me
a teachers pet, brat, smarty pants.
That really hurt my feelings. And
the worst thing is no one defended
me. The next day, I was looking for
someone to sit with when Amanda
and Cindy came up to me and toldme that what Ashley said was mean
and asked me if I wanted to go with
them to the mall after school. It was
so much fun. Now, I have someone
to tell my secrets to, and hang out
with. Here is a big lie that everyone

I watched as Tzivi entered the room.
She saw Chevy laughing with Yael
and Tehila. I was forcing myself to
laugh even though
the joke wasnt fun-
ny. Tzivi turned and
walked out. It was sad
to watch, but I knew
Tzivi was not the fun
type. She was quiet
and plain. There is
nothing special about
her. But, a small part
of me felt bad for her.
Every time she tried
to be part of the class,
they turned her away.
She had no friends.
Chevy said, Well,
as I was saying, next
time Tzivi walks in
lets make her trip.
I read this great book where a girl
tripped face rst into a chocolate
pie. It was hilarious. Lets do that to
Tzivi! she exclaimed. Yael and Te-
hila loved it, of course. They started
giggling away. I, on the other hand,
knew right form wrong. Chevy, I
started, This is wrong. Its not nice
to. Tzivi is a person. You know
Tova, youre right, Chevy said.
And they became friends with Tzivi.

Once, there was a girl named Abi-
gail. She was new to our school
and other girls in our grade thought
of her as a new
target. When I
heard this, I was
upset. Because
she was new, she
hardly knew her
way around the
school. It started
out as bump-
ing into her in
the halls and
ignoring her at
recess to taunt-
ing her and writ-
ing mean things
about her and
acc iden ta l ly
leaving them
on her desk. I
thought this was horrible, mean and
disgusting. One day, I walked into
the bathroom in between classesand heard low sobbing. I knocked
on the stall door and said, Abi-
gail, that you? She stopped crying,
took a few steps to the door, and
opened it slightly. Her face was red.
Her eyes were puffy. She stared at
me for a second then fell onto my
shoulders crying. I felt puzzled; I
didnt know what to do. Its not
fair how they treat people around
here, she said. I was once in the
same position you were, it was hor-
rible, I noted. Eventually, the girls
stopped teasing Abigail once they
saw she had someone at her side-she
wasnt alone. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

I know a girl, her name is Fran-
cine and she is a quiet girl with no
friends. She always tries to social-
ize. Every time she comes near
someone, they say, She is fat, and
they embarrass her. When its lunch,
they dont let her sit near them. But,one girl came and said, Enough
is enough. She said all the good
things about Francine. Now, she
is so popular but she knows not to
embarrass anyone and she includes
anyone she sees alone. It is not
good to embarrass people because
you are required to nd the good
in people. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5
A girl in our class gets made fun of
all the time, but she never realizes it.
Even though she doesnt realize or
do anything about
it, a few of my
friends and I stand
up for her and in-
clude her in whatwe do even if oth-
ers dont. In this
situation, I would
say, Guys you
are being mean.
What did she do
to you? But, Im
pretty sure they
wouldnt listen.
But, thats okay
because we try and
she feels good that
we stand up for her
and include her. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

There was a new girl in our school.
She was not so smart. The teacher
was asking questions about Navi.
That girl tried an-
swering one of the
questions but she
got the wrong an-
swer. Everyone was
laughing so hard.
The girl got so em-
barrassed that her
face got red. After
class was nished, I
went to those girls
and said, You know,
youre making it like
you never got an an-
swer wrong. And
they said, Yes we
did. But, not a hi-
larious answer like
that. I said, But at least she tried
to answer. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

One day in school, everyone in my

of the girls in my class was very qui-

her. She didnt have the cool pen.
She was a little poor and she didnt
want anyone to know that she was
poor. She didnt have the money for
the pen. So she wouldnt get laughedat by the popular girl, I gave her my

Magen D avid YeshivahOnce there was a girl who every-
one made fun of because she was
so perfect. She loves school and
she doesnt care about anything but
getting a good
grade. One day,
a girl made a
sleepover and
everyone wastalking about it
and everyone
said, Youre
not invited, you
are a big looser.
Why would you
be invited?
I saw her feel
very bad and
she was always
so embarrassed
to tell her mom.
After school, she
would cry every night. So, one night
I called her and said, Do you want to
have our own sleep over? She said,
Yes. So, we made sleep overs.
Then everyone made fun of me be-
cause I stayed with her, but I didnt
care. We were good friends and we
ignored everyone. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

One day at school, my friends and
I were playing at recess and there
was this new kid who was very shy
and she didnt really
have any friends. I
saw her sitting there
lonely all by herself.
So, I quit the game,
went up to her and we
started talking. But,
she wasnt that type of
person who would like
to play ball or tag
But, I didnt mind.
As long as she was
happy, I was happy.

It was time
for recess
for the 6th
grade. The
three pret-
tiest girls
were play-
ing jump
rope. Their
names were Emily, Jane, and Mol-
ly. They never let anyone play with
them. One of Mollys friends was
Susan. Susan was a shy girl who
didnt have many friends. Susan
really loved to play jump rope. So,
she asked Emily, Jane, and Molly
if she could play. They had a small
conversation in private to discuss
whether they are going to let Susan
play. Molly said, I think we should
let her play. Emily replied, But
if we let her play, we would have
to let every girl who asks to playwith us. Jane said, So its settled,
we wont let her play. Molly said,
Or, we can just let everyone play!
In the end, they had a big great
game of jump rope and everyone
was happy. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

who was playing the game went to

Hey Michelle, you want to playwith us? Michelle forgot and said
yes. We were playing and, all of the

we were assigned a poster to make
an anti-bullying poster. My poster
said, Words can hurt just as much

boxing gloves hanging. I gave in my

playing a game when someone
came over and asked if they could
play. My friends started laugh-

people, so you could walk away
now. The girl started blushing and
walked away sadly. I think I saw a
tear running down her face. I told

Yeshivah of FlatbushOn Shushan Purim, Megan brought
the entire class Mishloach Manot.
They were healthy and had fruits
and vegetables. Everyone was very
disappointed. Megan
started apologizing
and I could tell that
she was very embar-
rassed. So, I took out
the raisin box from the
Mishloach Manot and
said, Oh my gosh! I
love raisins, especially
this kind. Everyone
started to eat the rai-
sins and Megan was so
happy her face lit up.
To embarrass someone
is equivalent to stab-
bing them to death. The
reason for that is when
someone is hurt emo-
tionally, their heart breaks. Thats
why I dont embarrass my friends.

When I
was in
3rd grade,
my friend
was being
very rude
and mean
to some-
one. She
got the whole class to hate her. She
was trying to get me to join her and
hate her, too! I tried to tell as many
people as possible not to make fun
of her because she is my best friend
and she is a great person. Only three
people wanted to be friends with
her. The mean girl came to me and
said, Why are you hanging out
with the loser? I said, Because she
is nice, fun, smart, and trustworthy

have. Ever since then, everybody

no answer. Finally, my friends also
came and asked her to play with
us. She asked, Is this a joke? We
all replied back, No. Why? She
said, Because in my old school
everyone would make fun of me
because I was shy and I wore dif-ferent clothes. So do you still want

wasnt even true. Once
the rumor got to me, I
changed it up a little to

It was the rst day of school and
there was a new girl from England
and she was shy and didnt know
anyone. Her name was
Linda. There was club
and everyone was mak-
ing fun of her becauseshe had a little problem
when she talks. Linda
also has an accent and
looks different because
she is from England.
I was watching and
she was about to cry.
I couldnt take it any-
more so I said, Guys,
its really not nice.
They all laughed at me.
The next day, I invited
her over and then I told
the other girls, You
know Linda is very nice and I dont
know how you are not her friend.
They believed me and we are all best
friends now. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

There was once a boy named Ye-
huda. Lets just say he was not the
most popular kid in the class. He was
always being
made fun of.
Kids were call-
ing him names
like, mon-
key, munch
milk. You
might think its
funny but it re-
ally hurt him.
Then, one day,
a kid named
Shmuel calledover Yitzi, the
most popular
kid who made
fun of Yehu-
da the most.
Shmuel said,
I think you are hurting Yehudas
feelings. I know, replied Yitzi.
Then why do you do it? said Shm-
uel. Because its fun, said Yitzi.
Well, if you were in Yehudas place
would you also nd it funny? You
would feel bad. I guess so. I will
stop, said Yitzi. Thank you, said
Shmuel. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

There was once a new boy in my
class. He was short, fat, had an ac-
cent. Nobody in my class likes him.
He didnt understand English. One
time, the Rabbi called on him and
he answered the questions with a
dumb answer. My friend started
laughing and that boy turned red.
Later that day, I went over to the kid
who laughed and asked him, How
would you have felt if you were that
new kid? He understood what I
meant and went over to the new kid
and apologized. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

didnt, Rebecca decided not to go
to the party. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5

One day in school, I was giving out
invitations. My friend was sitting
next to me but I didnt want to in-
vite her. The next
day my other friend
said to me, Go give
her an invitation
because she knows
about your birthday
party. When I got
home I made her an
invitation and the
next day I gave it
her. She was happy
that I invited her.

on the rst day of
school, everybody was talking about
a girls Bat Mitzvah. Everybody was
so excited. There was going to be a
chocolate fountain. Everybody was
going except for one girl. I asked my
friend, Why wasnt she invited.
My friend answered, Because she is
poor. I told my friend, Why should
you leave her out? She should still
have fun with us. My friend invited
her. The new girl turned out to be
so smart and very nice. She always
helped out. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5
