Chabad-Lubavitch Announces Partnership With Bramson ORT
BROOKLYN, NY — Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, announced the establishment of a new Jewish vocational training school in partnership with International Bramson ORT.
Next September, these two respective leaders in Jewish education and vocational training will be piloting an innovative school. Boys, ages 16-20, will be offered the best of Jewish studies and vocational training and will graduate with the skills they need to thrive in their Torah observant life and succeed financially.
Responding to requests from parents and schools for a program of this nature, Merkos is creating a Torah studies curriculum that “will enable students to concentrate on what they are learning and feel a sense of accomplishment,” said Rabbi Nochem Kaplan, director of the Chabad-Lubavitch Education Office of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch.
ORT will provide technical training at their fully equipped extension campus in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Students who complete the course will emerge with real world tools: those who do not have a high-school diploma will emerge with a GED, and all students will earn a certificate in their chosen area of concentration and an associate of arts degree. ORT’s job placement department will work to place students upon graduation.
“The majority of children who go through the Yeshiva Day School educational system are enjoying the finest schooling the Jewish community has ever provided,” said Rabbi Kaplan. “But it is clear that there is a need for vocational training opportunities for students within the yeshiva system.”
Boruch Hashem
Amazing! This will keep kids on track and productive! Yasher Koach!!!
Impressed
its about time….. not everyone is going to be a teacher, and the community has a responsibility to set those kids up with a future too. We come out of yeshiva, and if we don’t want to be a shliach or a teacher we have no options other then to be a telemarketer at best. So kudos to them for finally waking up.
not every girl is a learner
What’s for girls? Not all girls are academically inclined either. All the programs seem to be for boys-why are the girls being shortchanged????

With todays financial pressures,difficulty and
competition, this new opportunity for our kids is a blessing and a gateway for our youth to establish and carve out a viable parnossa in order to raise and support a family.
Keep up the great work.
