Another school day starts: Shimon Waronker, the principal of Junior High School 22, on station outside school, which is overwhelmingly black and Hispanic. Attending to the details Mr. Waronker was greeted with near disbelief when he arrived in 2004 after his training in the Leadership Academy. In the classroom Mr. Waronker has helped attendance rise to 93 percent.
NYT Video!
Junior High School 22, in the South Bronx, had run through six principals in just over two years when Shimon Waronker was named the seventh.
On his first visit, in October 2004, he found a police officer arresting a student and calling for backup to handle the swelling crowd. Students roamed the hallways with abandon; in one class of 30, only 5 students had bothered to show up. “It was chaos,” Mr. Waronker recalled. “I was like, this can’t be real.”

They drew their inspiration for such a bold task from Rabbi Mendel Futerfas, the one-time-businessman from Russia who led the farbrengen ñ or gathering where sharing words of Torah, meaningful stories and Chasidic melodies plays an integral part ñ in Kfar Chabad, Israel.
Known as Reb Mendel and born in 1887, Futerfas had, in his home country, invested all of his money to assist the underground network of Jewish day schools supported by Chabad-Lubavitch and was sent to jail for the subversion of Soviet edicts against religious observance. He made it to London in 1962, where five years later he took up the call of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, for Jewish men everywhere to encourage other Jewish men to don tefillin.

TEL AVIV, Israel — One Thursday night in 1975, a group of Chasidic Jews who were crowded around a table in a small village outside of Tel Aviv decided to go out the next morning to help Jews whom they had never met put on tefillin.

Students at NYU with Rabbi Dov Korn
NEW YORK, NY — Mention of the Lower East Side often evokes images of heaving tenement buildings, anxious immigrants, and pungent pickles. While the pickles remain a landmark on Hester Street, the rest of the neighborhood has changed. The immigrants who came did everything they could to leave; today, their great-grandchildren are coming back in droves. Introducing them to a Jewish experience that packs a meaningful alternative to the faded memories of kitsch yiddishkeit portrayed in popular films, are Chabad-Lubavitch representatives.
