LETTER: NO YESHIVA TODAY: PARENTS QUESTION EXTENDED POST-PESACH BREAK FOR ELEMENTARY BOYS

Dear School Administration, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully ask for some clarification regarding the current school schedule for the boys’ elementary division. Specifically, I would appreciate understanding why there is no yeshiva today, and why the boys have not yet returned to learning with their rebbeim following Pesach. Pesach concluded on Thursday, and at this point the boys have been off for close to two weeks. While I certainly understand and appreciate the need for appropriate breaks and time off, it is difficult to understand the reasoning for extending the break further without a clear explanation. From an educational and chinuch perspective, it feels important for the boys to return to structure and consistency as soon as reasonably possible. Additional unexpected days off can send a confusing message—not only to our own children, but also when they see that boys in other yeshivas have already resumed learning. I want to emphasize that this is coming from a place of respect and genuine concern for the boys’ growth and routine. I would greatly appreciate any insight you can provide into the decision, as well as what the plan is for resuming regular classes. Thank you for your time and for all that you do for the תלמידים.

His influence can still be heard today in the growing global reach of Chasidic and Jewish music. Colleagues and fans alike often point to his humility and kindness as much as his artistry.

BREAKING: CHAP A NOSH RESTAURANT IN BROOKLYN IS CLOSING AFTER DECADES END OF AN ERA

The iconic Brooklyn institution Chap a Nosh is closing its doors, marking the end of an era for local food lovers who grew up on its unforgettable flavors. Known for its consistently delicious Chinese cuisine, generous portions, it became a true neighborhood staple. Whether it was a quick weeknight dinner or the go to spot for a full family spread, it built a loyal following that kept coming back for years. What made Chap a Nosh special wasn’t just the food, it was its place in the heimish Yunkee Chinese restaurant scene, a style of dining that blends classic Chinese flavors with a uniquely Jewish Brooklyn community vibe. It wasn’t just another restaurant, it was part of the culture. And then there were the famous all you can eat Mondays, where people didn’t just come to eat, they came to sit, schmooze, and enjoy. It turned a regular night into something social, warm, and memorable. With its closure, Brooklyn isn’t just losing a restaurant, it’s losing a piece of its identity. For so many, Chap a Nosh wasn’t just about food, it was tradition, comfort, and community.
