All Crown Heights Schools Join Forces
As we all are still absorbing the spiritual effect emanating from Yom Simchaso Shel Rashbi, unbeknown to many, the New York State Board of Education has currently proposed new guidelines that will undermine the foundation and future of our education system. The government is once again proposing to tamper with our pure chinuch. Requiring us to adapt aspects that are not in accordance with our Mesora and way of life.
In the spirit of tremendous achdus, all of the Anash schools gathered for an emergency meeting. There is but one goal- to join forces and form a unified front against these terrible regulations and Gzeira!
As we have seen in the past, and as the Rebbe has highlighted many times, together we are stronger, and will not let the ongoing relentless campaign against our traditional Yiddishe way deter us g-d forbid.
The event was emceed by Rabbi Mendel Blau of Oholei Torah, the principals were addressed by Rabbi Yossi Langsam of United Lubavitcher Yeshiva, community activist R’ Avi Lesches, R’ Sholom Goldstein of Beis Rivkah, Rabbi Mendel Yusewitz of Ohr Menachem, Rabbi Levi Plotkin of Beis Chaya Mushka. The group also heard from professionals on some of the next steps that will be taken to bring awareness of this issue to the community at large.
The meeting was concluded with a passionate plea by Tzivos Hashem head general, Rabbi Shimmy Winebaum. Rabbi Winebaum stressed upon all principals the significant role that they and their staff will play in helping to get this message out to the students and parents.

Besides the obvious threat to our Yeshivas, let’s remember that government money practically supports many of our school. That’s what happens when you take government money, they can do whatever they want. Fund our schools ourselves like out of state yeshivas do.

It still does not excuse educational neglect of secular education happening in many private schools and this problem must be resolved without a takeover. Why is it so hard and bad for these schools to hire real teachers and to provide basic knowledge like math, science, literature, reading, writing, english, history. Biology etc… {All at the proper grade level of-course}?

I agree that gov’t should not take over our private education system but I do not agree that any private school can deprive their students of a fair secular education as is happening in most hasidic schools and other private schools in and around NY and leaving those students educationally handicapped when they finish high school. There at least must be massive improvements in the secular ed..
