Cheder at the Ohel’s Learning Uninterrupted by Snow
The students from Cheder at the Ohel come to school every day from all over Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn and Connecticut. Due to the severe snowstorm Monday evening, regular classes were canceled on Tuesday. However, that doesn’t meet that they had to miss a day of learning.
On Tuesday, principal Rabbi Pinchas Margolis arranged for all the classes to learn via conference call. “It is important for the boys to learn Torah each day,” he told CrownHeights.info.
“The boys look forward to their conference calls and to connecting to their teachers and classmates even during a snow day,” he said.
Simcha
This must happen in the east coast all winter. Why don’t they do an online class with webcam’s etc. I understand the internet can be bad but it also has its good qualities and one of them can be this. Parents should just filter what the kids can do on the internet.
Phone conferencing is a thing of the past. Welcome to the 21st century. I am sure the Rebbe would approve.
