WORCESTER, MA — Rabbi Hershel Fogelman and his wife, Rochele, who improbably began an Orthodox Jewish school here 65 years ago that has grown into a Hasidic education center for New England, were honored last night by several hundred school alumni, family and friends with a dinner and memories at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

“We are their miracle,” said Rabbi Martin Schloss, director of the division of school services for the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York and an alumnus of the school. “Look at this room. Graduates of the Yeshiva make a difference in the world.”
