Bnos Chomesh Academy’s First Year-end Banquet

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — It was hard to tell who was most proud at Bnos Chomesh Academy’s first year end banquet: the parents, the students, or the staff. On Sunday, June 15th all were present to celebrate the success of the school’s very first year. Appreciation awards were given to each student in recognition of her contribution to the school.

A second police officer, overhearing the conversation, came over to steer away the first one, who reappeared a few minutes later to apologize. He’d never seen a Hasidic Jew, he told Yosef.
