Photos: Beis Rivkah Headstart Beautifying Crown Heights!

Maidalach from Beis Rivkah’s Headstart partook in an activity beautifying our neighborhood. The six classes split into groups of two, and each group took one intersection and planted potted plants in the medians.

The activity was done in conjunction with the NYC Parks Department, the Police Department. And a special thanks goes to Chanie Pewzner for arranging it.

    Hey, sara! Nice to see. You look so cute, and yummy.
    Wow. Truly amazing! From the way they put the golves on, to
    Digging in the ground. The colors blend in so beautifully. It will
    Surley enhance the neighberhood all over. This is certainley bringing
    Hashem a lot of nachas!! This all very befitting to do all this before the holiday
    Of shavuot (even though lubavitch of course doesn’t do those things, I think).
    Especially this year, the first year of a new and the final decade, and the year of 770!

    I am actually going to plant some “stuff” (u know what I mean) in my front
    (And maybe backyard) as well. Inspired by this article. Thank you crownheights.info for sharing
    This info with your readers. Thank you so much.

    sooooooo cute and soooo special – within the rumblings and grumblings thruout the hood there is still so much goodness and kindness peppered with bouts of good deeds like this adorable venture. I’m so blown away thanks gals !

    Thank you Morah Breindy, Sorole and Mushky! Mirel looks like she enjoyed this project a lot. Breindy, i’m loving the picture of her planting with your arm around her. We could not have asked for more in a Morah!

  • friend

  • A reader on Brooklyn Ave.

    I think ALL the maidelach are the best and all the morahs are the best. Please keep in mind in your comments btw, that there’s a way to phrase things which build up your child or your child’s morah without putting everyone else down.

  • st

    Wow, Morah Pevzner is REALLY dedicated! She arranged all this, prepped the areas and it was a fun learning experience for the kids!
    I’ve always heard of Morah Pevzner’s talent and success! May she keep it up!

    I just want to tell you….Mirel’s parents, whoever you are in morah sorol’es, breindy’s and mushky’s class.
    Your comment is quiet odd. From the picture, it looks like the teacher’s hand is around your daughter because she was sitting on the dirt….it’s not in a loving gesture…or helping her do anything…so relax.
    she might be a good morah…but stop making up stories.
