Avos Ubanim Kicks Off with Two New Locations

This past Motzei Shabbos, the sweet voices of boys learning with their fathers could be heard throughout Crown Heights, as they participated in the first Avos Ubanim program of 5778.

This year, two new locations have opened, bringing to a total of nine shuls where the sound of Torah is reverberating.  Boruch Hashem our neighborhood is expanding, and Avos Ubanim is now available at Darkei Menachem, 432 Rutland Road, as well as at Bais Avrohom Yitzchok, 270 E. 91st St.

Over 450 fathers and sons attended the first week of the Avos Ubanim Betzalel learning program this past Motzei Shabbos. The excitement on the faces of the children as well as on the faces of the fathers was contagious. It was heartwarming to witness the bonding of the boys with their fathers as they spent quality time together.

Incentives and prizes galore with inspiring divrei chizuk topped off this wonderful Motzei Shabbos experience.

Avos Ubanim is now closer than ever, with locations throughout the neighborhood: Besides our two new locations, you can join the program at Frankel Shul – 1699 President St., Aguda Shul – 456 Crown St., Eliyohu Nochom – 672 Lefferts Ave., Cong. 935-Chabad – 935 Eastern Parkway, Empire Shteibl – 489 Empire Blvd., 770 Eastern Parkway in the basement and Heichel Halimud Anshei Moshe at 1334 Lincoln Place between Schenectady and Utica.

The Avos Ubanim program is known as Avos Ubanim Betzalel in loving memory of Reb Betzalel Jacobson, OBM, dedicated by his son Yerachmiel Jacobson.

This week’s learning was graciously sponsored in memory of R’ Benda Shlomo Ben Dovid and Miriam Yudis Bas Reuven.

There are several weeks still available to sponsor. Please contact Rabbi Z. Sorkin at 978-384-0770.

A special thank you to Gombo’s Bakery for sponsoring the free rugelach every week for all the boys who attend.
