billion in funding including nearly $1.3 billion in competitive grants more affordable New York City means investing in our city’s future—in 21st-century jobs And thanks to the Biden-Harris administration we’re able to take major steps forward towards doing just that,” said Mayor Adams “We’re bringing thousands of jobs and billions in economic impact to our city by transforming the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a modern 21st-century maritime port and mixed-use community hub and we’re bringing new public space and safety improvements to Inwood with our greenway along 10th Avenue This helps get us that much closer to having New Yorkers be able to bike and walk all the way around Manhattan on greenways these investments will help us build a cleaner “The cornerstone of building a better New York City is smart infrastructure that is made possible through an historic level of funding from the Biden-Harris administration and the tireless work of our congressional delegation,” said Deputy Mayor Joshi “This is the largest single day of competitive infrastructure grants in New York City history These two projects represent the breadth of urgent infrastructure investment in our city safe mobility to revitalizing our waterfront for greener freight movement Huge credit to our Federal Infrastructure Funding Task Force has collaborated to earn us more than $1 billion in competitive grants with more to come to build a stronger future for New York City.” “I cannot think of a better way to start New York City’s Climate Week than with this announcement a generational investment by the federal government that will catalyze the reinvention of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a resilient future-proof transportation infrastructure and mixed-use development,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing Department of Transportation and the entire New York delegation for their advocacy on behalf of all 8.3 million New Yorkers to secure this transformational funding for the future of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal.” “This is a historic investment for a generational project that will truly transform Brooklyn’s waterfront and deliver positive economic and environmental impacts across the region,” said New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President and CEO Andrew Kimball “An enormous amount of thanks to the Biden-Harris administration and the U.S Department of Transportation for recognizing the importance of the future of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal and the role it can play in bolstering our Blue Highways network throughout the five boroughs I also want to thank our federal elected officials Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand along with Congressman Dan Goldman who is leading our Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force for their efforts in advocating for this project.” “Every neighborhood deserves safe streets and public spaces to share with their families and neighbors Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to equity we’ll be able to fill a critical gap in Manhattan’s waterfront greenway while delivering important traffic safety upgrades in Inwood,” said New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez and our sister agencies for their support of this life-saving work.” “The greatest city in the world deserves high-quality public spaces and these two projects will expand New Yorkers' public space access for generations to come,” said New York City Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Sue Donoghue “We look forward to working with our partners at DOT on the greenway along 10th Avenue creating a safer and more direct path from the Bronx to the greenway along the Harlem River connecting with historic Manhattan parks like Highbridge Park and Inwood Hill Park as well as to a new waterfront park in development along Academy Street our coastline will continue its inspiring transformation helping New Yorkers connect with each other and with our city’s waterfront.” that task force evaluates the competitive grant opportunities available with a focus on new opportunities made possible through both the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act and works to break down silos and foster creativity across city agencies The city has aligned its priorities for high-quality and equitable infrastructure with aggressive and creative grant applications from a wide range of infrastructure agencies These two announcements represent the single largest day of competitive grant awards in New York City history The $164 million federal grant for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal comes after Mayor Adams, along with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, NYCEDC, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced an historic agreement that will enable the city to transform the 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a modern 21st-century maritime port and mixed-use community This federal grant builds on an initial $95 million investment from New York City and New York state that would stabilize and repair Piers 7 and 10; and fund planning for the site’s future electrified container crane for operations at the terminal as well as a future cold storage facility on-site This new funding will help rehabilitate and extend the life of Pier 10—home of the Red Hook Container Terminal—demolish the structurally-deficient Piers 9A and 9B and replace them with a new marginal Pier 9 that is better able to handle modern ships; and improve traffic and circulation for pedestrians the project is expected to generate $9 billion of economic value while potentially creating thousands of jobs Last week, NYCEDC announced the full membership of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force and co-chaired by New York state Senator Andrew Gounardes and New York City Councilmember Alexa Aviles It is comprised of a wide range of experts and local elected officials; the local community board; local resident organizations; maritime and industrial stakeholders; unions; planning and environmental justice organizations; and representatives of the local business community the task force aims to build a shared vision across stakeholders The task force is charged with approving the illustrative vision plan which will include reinvestment and development for a modernized maritime port and a vibrant mixed-use community for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal in early 2025 NYCEDC kicked off a series of community engagement events in August, starting with a public information webinar on August 12th, and will hold the public survey is now available online NYCEDC has selected renowned consulting firm Buro Happold to spearhead the master plan The $96 million federal grant for a greenway along 10th Avenue in Inwood Manhattan will help the city fill one of the last major gaps in the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway to create a continuous cycling route around the island The project will also address traffic safety equity in Inwood delivering a host of safety upgrades in an underserved area to make the neighborhood’s streets safer for all and improved lighting under the elevated subway line The construction of the greenway will come with a wide variety of proven safety upgrades along the 10th Avenue corridor which ranks in the top 10 percent of Manhattan’s most dangerous streets It will also include various pedestrian and cyclist improvements along Harlem River Drive Improvements will focus on reducing the time it takes pedestrians to cross the street and improving boarding for bus riders along the corridor The city will also install a full pedestrian plaza on Post Avenue between 10th Avenue and West 207th Street Department of Design and Construction will build the project which will enter the preliminary design phase in spring 2025 “I am delighted that we have secured $163,800,000 in funding for the vital redevelopment of the Brooklyn waterfront,” said U.S “This incredible investment in our Red Hook community will be transformative While the Brooklyn Marine Terminal had been mired in decades of inertia we have entered a new era with this long overdue federal funding This infusion will allow our city to fully enhance the economic growth and health of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal while taking into account the public health and climate goals of surrounding communities The future is here – and it’s looking bright for Brooklyn.” “I’m proud to deliver the largest federal grant funding for New York City’s bike infrastructure in the history of our city and look forward to the new 1.35-mile corridor along 10th Avenue in Inwood in my district,” said U.S New York City Mayor Adams and DOT Commissioner Rodriguez for the local-federal collaboration to ensure this project has the necessary funding for completion.” “By building a better Brooklyn Marine Terminal we're building a better future for Brooklyn and the whole region,” said New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes “This federal funding will help make up for years of disinvestment of the piers and allow us to invest in a modernized terminal that can sustainably handle freight deliveries expand economic opportunity and create new jobs I’m thankful to Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the Biden administration for awarding this crucial grant and look forward to working with community partners to ensure we maximize its impact.” “Securing $260 million in federal funding for transformative infrastructure projects is a triumph for Inwood and all New Yorkers,” said New York State Senator Robert Jackson “The 10th Avenue Greenway in my district is not just an investment in green space—it’s an investment in our future This initiative is a decisive leap toward a more resilient and accessible city from Inwood to the Bronx and beyond.” “The revitalization of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a state-of-the-art maritime port and vibrant mixed-use community hub will significantly enhance New York City’s position as a global leader in commerce while also creating vital opportunities for residents and businesses alike,” said New York State Assemblymember Charles D “I commend Mayor Adams and his administration for their leadership and vision in bringing this transformative project to fruition This investment represents a bold step towards building a brighter “The federal funding secured by Mayor Adams and his administration is a big step in the development of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway,” said New York State Assemblymember Manny De Los Santos “The 1.35-mile greenway in Inwood will allow residents in the district to more easily and more safely access the waterfront along the Harlem River It will help continue efforts to build safe biking infrastructure and to reconnect communities in New York that were intentionally separated by the construction of highways in years past it’s yet another display of President Biden and Vice President Harris’ steadfast commitment to investing in green infrastructure I’m grateful for the continued collaboration toward this project and I look forward to the day when Inwood residents will be able to enjoy the 10th Avenue Greenway because of those efforts.” “Today we launch unprecedented investments to bring world class infrastructure to the greatest city in the world,” said New York State Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar “We have secured $2.37 billion in federal funding for modern vibrant epicenters of activity to accelerate growth in our bustling metropolis We will transform the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a state-of-the-art maritime and community hub and we will revitalize Inwood with the new 10th Avenue Greenway pedestrian infrastructure and greenspace I am proud of my work in Albany to implement much-needed infrastructure and the South Shore Staten Island Coastal Storm Risk Management Project we will build a New York City for the 21st century and beyond.” “Offering well-paying jobs and facilitating the movement of goods our ports are as essential to our city’s future as they are to our past,” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso “I am thrilled that Brooklyn Marine Terminal will see much-needed federal investments and continue to modernize to meet the needs of our borough and city and US DOT for recognizing the importance of Brooklyn’s ports.” “The DOT's Mega Grant will kick start critical work at the Brooklyn Marine Terminal which will contribute to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and modernization of our port infrastructure,” said New York City Councilmember Alexa Aviles “I look forward to these funds being used to improve traffic flow in our community and toward getting trucks off of our roads all while building livable wage jobs for the people of our community.” “We have been working with environmental groups for years bringing awareness to the limitations on our waterfronts and greenways partly due to the disastrous effects of the Robert Moses era infrastructure on our most vulnerable communities,” said New York City Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa “The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how valuable greenspaces were for our physical and mental health and how many communities were deprived of access to said spaces and it’s an important investment back into the most cherished aspects of our neighborhood while physically connecting our community to our counterparts in the Bronx I’m proud that the Biden-Harris administration has committed to funding our 10th Avenue greenway and we look forward to enjoying this upgrade to safe “We are thrilled that the 10th Avenue Greenway project is finally becoming a reality,” said Paul Steely White “This transformative initiative will close a significant gap in the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway The 10th Avenue Greenway project not only enhances connectivity between Manhattan and the Bronx but also prioritizes safety and accessibility within our communities By creating a dedicated off-street bike path we are paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable transportation network.” “What a tremendous win for New York and the residents of Inwood,” said Ken Podziba “This is a neighborhood in desperate need of public investment and the significant infusion of federal funding to create the 10th Avenue Greenway will lead to a safer and healthier future that prioritizes people over cars Bike New York commends the Biden administration for awarding this grant to New York City and we have the utmost confidence in Commissioner Rodriguez and DOT in implementing this project which will remarkably transform Inwood and expand the city's greenway network.” “We applaud the New York City Department of Transportation and partner agencies that are dedicated to building a fully connected citywide greenways network as vital open space and micro-mobility infrastructure and an important part of New York City’s climate response,” said Terri Carta Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy (JBRPC) and member “JBRPC is grateful to Senator Schumer for his leadership on this historic investment in New York City's greenway network and closing the gap in northern Manhattan.” “The newly announced $96 million in grant funding is absolutely vital to build out the 10th Avenue greenway,” said Dr “As we heard at the NYC Greenways Summit last week this critical funding will directly support better public health This is a great step toward completing the greater Manhattan Waterfront Greenway Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Welcome

© COPYRIGHT New York YIMBY® LLC The ProposalWhen we created a music video for Nishmas Hatorah’s building campaign last year we collaborated with comedic songwriter and performer Binyomin Miller to produce something the bochurim who get involved in the annual fundraising campaign Binyomin wrote a song called “Incomplet” (yes with whimsical lyrics describing incomplete items — half a slice of pizza gilah and rinah without any ditzah — as a metaphor for the half-finished building the yeshivah was trying to complete and both the yeshivah and their marketing team knew they wanted to bring Binyomin back this year The challenge would be building on the success of “Incomplet” without falling prey to stale-sequel syndrome Binyomin’s brainstorm was to do a song called “Complete” — not in the glaringly obvious direction of lauding the completed building rather a more figurative approach focusing on the complete experience the yeshivah gives their talmidim as did ConsultWrite and Rabbi Pinchus Weinberger it would also allow us to showcase how the yeshivah gives the talmidim tools for life and he came to us mid-February with a draft In order to differentiate it completely from last year’s video he started the song with a two-paragraph backstory about… a color specialist who devoted years of his life developing a specific shade of paint The color the specialist had finally created was Our challenge was to create 60 seconds of content that would keep a viewer engaged We couldn’t expect people to watch paint dry hiring an actor to portray a mad-scientist character playing with all sorts of beakers and tubes in his effort to create that elusive shade Our Amazon cart was soon filled with an aspiring chemist’s supplies: litmus test strips ingredients for elephant toothpaste (having blue foamy liquid spilling over the beaker sells the experimentation look) and beakers and tubes of all shapes and sizes We planned to set up the lab scene inside my friend’s spacious garage you see that old shed in the corner of the property He was right — the ramshackle shed would do a great job of setting the scene for our isolated old man locked up in his lab — so we relocated there though we did use actual supplies for the experimenting scene I didn’t want to ruin any of the property (or our clothing!) so we opted for a less permanent brown liquid: chocolate syrup with some water Aside from the lab scene and the specialty shots filmed in the yeshivah itself we needed to film Binyomin singing the whole song in a few locations By playing the music from beginning to end during filming we can synchronize the different takes in editing and pick the best shots from his performances but we wanted a more cinematic look as well and Binyomin wanted something glitzy to match the sixties-era music style he had in mind when composing the song After some back and forth with Senior Production Manager Moshe Niehaus Elimelech ordered a backdrop of small gold squares to set a glamorous stage What we didn’t realize was that some assembly was required; it came as individual 12×12-inch squares After about 30 minutes I took a break to daven Minchah We had ordered enough for a complete background on the wider angle where Binyomin takes up only about a third of the screen — about 15 feet of gold — but time was ticking I made the executive decision to build less than we had originally planned deliberately showing the lights and stands in the wider view to give it more of a raw set vibe Elimelech had done the bulk of the backdrop because to achieve the shimmery look we had in mind the backdrop had to be moving and reflecting the lights in different patterns so I improvised by attaching a string to the curtain’s edge and pulling it back and forth pull more!” Elimelech kept instructing during filming “Shindler really pulled all the strings for that shoot.” Binyomin wrote certain lyrics with scenes of the bochurim in mind The vision was to incorporate the humor into the everyday activities so we could showcase the yeshivah while keeping the video engaging Binyomin asked us to create an overlay effect on a dozen or so key scenes to make the “complete” point in a fun way Shayna Koppenheim designed a graphic that reads “NBA Standard Issue” over the spinning basketball (i.e. even the balls at the yeshivah are the perfect size) VFX Associate Jeremy Lewis was the lead editor on the video Koppenheim to add the overlay to the scene of someone eating lunch The plan was for it to show the calorie intake in the forkful of macaroni Koppenheim noticed one noodle had fallen off the fork while it was being lifted from the bowl In addition to the overlay showing how many calories were in the forkful she added a second overlay tracking the negative calorie intake on the falling macaroni she planned to remove it for the final; we all loved it and because there are so many effects we want to get in Post-Production Coordinator Usher Weldler was reviewing a draft of the video with Jeremy when he noticed the scene with a rebbi playing guitar while learning with the talmidim “Why are we zooming in on the gemara?” Usher asked “You hear how Binyomin’s singing about playing a riff [musical term for playing an instrumental piece] on his guitar?” Jeremy explained “There’s also a second interpretation here because the gemara is open to the Rif [Rav Yitzchak Alfasi].” Will viewers even have time to process the joke?” We tested it on a few people and got mixed results because most of them got one of the meanings but not both It was actually a great Rorschach test: Which people would get the musical “riff”erence and which would get the Talmudic one but we also agreed that viewers were just going to have to watch the video more than once if they wanted to get all the jokes One of the things Binyomin wanted to highlight as “complete” is the food served in the yeshivah “Every Golden Crisp is lovingly toasted to perfection / And then undergoes our comprehensive fourteen-step inspection.” We borrowed a jeweler’s loupe (or esrog-style and had a rebbi actually study the kernel for imperfections Binyomin also wanted to present typical yeshivah fare as gourmet and I reached out to noted food and interior photographer Hudi Greenberger to professionally plate and style yeshivah lunches transforming a tuna sandwich into the “house tuna medley on a toasted roll” in the song The problem was that Hudi is so good at what he does it legitimately looked gourmet — which wouldn’t have the comedic effect we were aiming for Elimelech suggested adding a plastic fork and knife helped remind everyone not to take the scene too seriously another of Binyomin’s jokes was to refer to the cook as the mashgiach gashmi Moshe Niehaus came up with the perfect way to showcase that visually “When I think of ‘status’ in the world of yeshivos I immediately think of the mizrach vant [the eastern wall where all of the dignitaries are seated],” he said and have him davening next to the black-hatted faculty.” and we staged a Minchah just for this purpose It probably took 30 minutes of prep for a shot that’s only a few seconds in the video but it’s this kind of detail that makes it such a great video There’s always the question of when to send the video to the client and they might not be able to appreciate the final vision sometimes initial feedback can help direct the final version On this particular project we went all in on the first approach Binyomin shared just the lyrics with Rabbi Pinchus Weinberger but we didn’t send the video until we had added all of the effects and edits only a few days before the scheduled release There was a bit of nail-biting at our end as we waited for Rabbi Weinberger’s reaction While he admitted that he could never have envisioned the final product (“shocked” was the word he used) He did say he had to watch it several times to fully appreciate it but that may be in part because of the speed of the jokes portrayed Moshe ShindlerClient: Shela-HeShela-He is a Lakewood based organization that gives women the chance to partner with yungeleit by donating a dollar a day Lipa’s Super

Nebraska and loved to recount the many adventures and mis-adventures she shared there with her two younger brothers and sister She followed in her father’s footsteps attending Hastings College where she learned white glove manners and earned a Bachelor of Music degree She started her first teaching job in Griswold where she met and fell in love with her fellow teacher and she launched into the most treasured job of her life where she would spend the rest of her life She initially stayed home to care for her growing family and kept busy with hobbies she taught piano lessons from her home on her treasured baby grand piano she was often seen about town with her Polaroid camera capturing pictures and writing stories for the West Lyon Herald She also helped out at the local flower shop–creating countless corsages for Mother’s Day and other special occasions she returned to her original passion of music education as a music and band teacher at Inwood Christian School But one of her very favorite jobs was a preschool teacher for Playdays at Bethlehem Lutheran Church a job she was heartbroken to leave when she finally became unable to join her students on the carpet for story and play time Lin maintained a deep and abiding faith in Christ She lived a life of true service and genuine love for her neighbors It isn’t possible to list all the roles she filled at Bethlehem Lutheran and even janitor (as well as preschool teacher she cherished the Circle meetings that were held there so she and others could continue to attend she was blessed with many caretakers who would read the Bible to her her voice could be heard clearly singing hymns in both melody and harmony  It really isn’t possible to capture in words the full magic and meaning of Lin’s life how she impacted all of those who were lucky enough to know her and be loved by her She could talk for hours on the phone with her friends and family much to Al’s dismay (long distance bills!) making sure never to end a sentence in a preposition She absolutely loved doing crafts of all sorts She loved to shop–mostly for craft supplies or gifts for her family and friends She would say that everything she bought was a hope or dream for someone she loved It was a quiet strength through which she persisted to raise her children to be independent It was a strength that endured through so many heartbreaks such as the loss of her brother and her son and the devastating illness that would rob her of her ability to play the piano and with her grandchildren A strength that blessed those she loved with many years beyond our expectations what we carry with us from Lin is her love which was (and is) endless and given freely to all Her heart could reach to the moon and back and if everyone in the world could have just a sliver of her soul Her children know how absolutely blessed we are to have called her mom and felt the warmth and safety of her unconditional love She did everything in her power to never leave us and even though she is no longer physically here she will live forever through her legacy of love and grace The most humble legend of a human that we have known Alayna and Christian Lemcke; Abby and Kate Politzer; Clara David and Drew Mews; Camarion Mews; Lydia and Nora Harris; and Eloise She is also survived by her beloved siblings and siblings-in-law Lin loved all of her nieces and nephews to the moon and back: Lisa (Eric) and a host of caretakers who walked with her through her long and difficult illness and whose love and kindness will never be forgotten  Lin was preceded in death by
