3 Flatbush Yeshivas Close Due to Swine Flu

CHI Edit: The three Yeshivas: Magen David Yeshiva, located on McDonald Ave and Ave S, Mesores Bais Yaakov, located on Ocean Ave and Ave I, and Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel, located at 1271 East 31st St. Many more Yeshivos are soon to follow.

BROOKLYN, NY [JTA] — A Flatbush yeshiva has been closed after two students were diagnosed with swine flu.

A student in the high school and a student in the elementary school have come down with the disease, according to an email sent to the parents of students at the yeshiva.

The yeshiva, which is the main school for the Syrian community of Flatbush, will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday following the Memorial Day holiday weekend, according to the letter, circulated Friday.

Meanwhile, Israel announced its eighth confirmed case of the virus. The Israeli, 24, who recently returned from a visit to the United States, has been isolated in an Israeli hospital.

    Sorry to hear.
    Funny/strange medical system.
    Go to a reg doc. (Allopath) and he/she takes a blood
    sample and you wait: invasive, time, etc.
    Go to a Chiropractor who uses Kniesiology and in
    1 min (Or less) non-invasive, they can tell you
    accurately if you have the virus/bacteria.
    Which sounds more ‘advanced?’
    The first might be free, the second (Better?) might
    cost.
    Blood sugar glucose tolerance test? 2 or more visits, fasting, etc.
    A chiropractor told me, in a few minutes (Non-invasive, no fasting) that I was hypoglycemic.
    The chiropractor said that this ‘tool’ is very accurate.

  • to wondering

    what matters is that the schoold are closed in flatbush ,the heart of brooklyn, due to swine flu.Not if it a boys or girls school. Likewise that they are yeshivas.

  • Flatbusher

    Its 1271 East 35th and Prospect Park Yeshiva is also closed. Crazy!!

  • Works in Flatbush

    I heard Yeshivah of Flatbush also has some cases and there were a couple more cases in Magen David Yeshiva too!

  • Brooklyner

    Flatbusher, I don’t know where you heard that Prospect Park Yeshiva is closed! It’s open and an announcement was made to the high school students that it WILL NOT close.

    Girls with brothers in Chofetz Chaim and Magen David were simply asked not to come to school.

  • Brooklyner

    Update on Prospect: An automated phone call just said that as of now, the school is not closing and girls can come as long as they show no symptoms and their family shows no symptoms.
