Vacation Crown Heights Now Offers Classes For Men

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Vacation Crown Heights offered continues programming throughout this summer. Hundreds of women took advantage of this wonderful opportunity, as the program attracted more and more interest. Vacation Ch got lots of requests to expand their program and include classes for men. Upon those requests inserted into the program are classes available for men. The first class on the program, open to both men and women was a Highlight of this week. The Chinuch workshop gave lots of participants the opportunity to hear Rabbi Yossi Simpson, Principal of Lubavitch Yeshivah. Rabbi Simpson addressed the challenges of Chinuch, “Keeping the Outside Influences Out” Given on Thursday August 6, 2009. Many more Chinuch and Sholom Bais workshops welcome men to join the program.

With years of experience in the field of Chinuch, Mrs Leiberman addressed modern day strategies to grapple chinuch challenges, and many women took the opportunity to ask personal questions. Mrs Sara Leiberman gives a fantastic workshop titled –Chinuch V’Hadracha on Tuesdays at 10:30 AM. This turned out to be an incredible in depth discussion on Chinuch.

Another highlight was the Monday evening course by Mrs Malkie Katz on Cooking Shabbos in Under Two Hours followed by Party Planning with Mrs DL Wagshal.
