With the backing of gedolei Yisroel shlita and with
feelings of uplift and gratitude to Hashem Yisborach the
school year opened Monday morning (1 Elul) at Chinuch Atzmai
schools for boys and girls in dozens of cities and
communities in central as well as remote locations around the
country.
Over 75,000 students took their seats at hundreds of schools,
filling classrooms with the sounds of Torah and
tefilloh from the mouths of tinokos shel beis
rabbon carrying on the age-old educational tradition of
our forefathers and rabbonim from generation to
generation.
The smooth opening of the school year was made possible
through strenuous efforts and weeks of prolonged meetings
attended by Chinuch Atzmai heads and senior office staff
members who spared no effort to ensure that the school year
could get underway without a hitch despite the challenges
posed by the various decrees and directives issued by the
government and legal establishments recently to stifle and
hamper the chareidi education system.
During their round of visits at various schools, Chinuch
Atzmai heads Rabbi Avrohom Yosef Lazerson and Rabbi Tzvi
Baumel noted gladly that through siyata deShmaya
hundreds of institutions, talmudei Torah and Beis
Yaakov schools were able to open their gates, and the two
expressed their appreciation for the principals, academic
supervisors and thousands of teachers who contribute toward
passing on the legacy of Har Sinai to today's youth, in
wholesomeness and in purity, based on the path set by our
forefathers and rabbonim.
