  What a terrific year our son is having. We love Rabbi Raskin.

  wow. i’m impressed. can this be the work of involved parents? wish there were more of them!

• This is what you-re proud of?

  Hmmm… all the seder plates look alike. Where is the creativity? What exactly do the kids get out of doing a project where they are told, “put that there. Put that here. There, now you’re done.” The fact that this is seen as excellence in crown heights shows just how lacking our education system is.

• BH!!

  Rabbi Raskin is B”H, the best Rebbe for our son.

  Love the Seder Plate!!

  To number 3,
  your comment is not a nice one. While I see your point and agree, people have taken time out of their busy, hectic lives to help out and make it a bit more fun for the kids. Perhaps its a great start to a better future…change occurs overtime, and if this is something that was never done, and now it’s being done, but imperfectly….so be it. Why does it bother you enough to post as a comment???

  What exactly was your motivation to give that comment??

  To # 3
  Keep your nasty comments to your self!
  The “lacking of our education system” is due to negative people like YOURSELF that spray their venom wherever they look.

  I think it is AMAZING that there are parents taking from their own time to come in to Rabbi Raskin’s class to get involved and to give the kids a good time in a fun and educational way.
  Thank you parents!
  Keep it up and it would be nice to see other parents take an example.

• Lesson reenforcement

  Some things such as a ‘seder plate’ do not lend themselves to creativity as far as the designated places for the foods placed on it. The point of this project is for the children to reinforce what they learned about how to set up a kearah and the Matzos according to Minhag Chabad. If you would have really looked before you commented, you would have noticed that each plate has a different combination of colors. It could very well be that only a limited amount of colors and art supplies were available and each boy used his own choice of combinations. The children enjoyed doing it while reviewing what their rebbi taught them, in this case that’s what counts.

  Nochum, we’re proud of you!!! Parents Shmuly & Yael, keep up the great work. Chag Sameach!

• yasher koach

  not sure about the negative comments – my sons are in O.T. and no one cares enough to do such things with them – kol hakavod to the people who arrange these extra programs – we should all learn from them!!

• To Bitter #3

  #3 bitter person. Open your own school and see if it survives. Being practical is just as important as being creative (if not more). I have plenty of “creative” friends who can’t find jobs and plenty of practical friends who just rolled up their sleeves and started working. Be nice. Be kind. Stop hating. Love life.
