1,000 People Learning at the Ovos Ubonim Program in
England
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Motzei Shabbos Noach saw the start of the winter Ovos Ubonim
program in England. In Golders Green there are 5 centers:
GGBH, Goschalk's, Dayan Ehrentreu's, Eitz Chaim and Kehal
Chassidim. In Manchester there are 4 centers: Stein Court,
Machzikei Hadass, Sha'arei Tefilla-Prestwich and Zichron
Yechezkel. All told there is a total of well over 400
children learning with their fathers. There are also centers
in Edgware and Gateshead.
There are now 400 centers in Israel, over 100 in North
America, new ones in Argentina and Mexico -- and even Hong
Kong started last week. Worldwide it is estimated that well
over 30,000 children learn every week -- and there are plans
to double this over the next months!
Each center follows the same pattern whereby the young boys
learn with their father/grandfather for an hour. After the
learning, each child participates in a raffle for book
vouchers, is eligible for special prizes and receives some
nash.
As an international program, Ovos Ubonim has no boundaries.
It brings together children from the broadest spectrum --
Sephardic, Ashkenazic, Mizrachi, Litvish, and Chassidish.
