The Five Towns community is Baruch Hashem blessed with many prominent institutions that wducate thousands of our children in the ways of Hashem. However, what is sometimes overlooked are the hundreds of children that are currently attending public schools in this very community and are at risk of losing their Jewish identity.
As such, members of Cong. Ohr Torah in North Woodmere invited members of the CHAZAQ organization to come and map out a game plan in starting afterschool programs in their community which is home to scores of public school children. The Queens communities of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Garden Hills and Fresh Meadows have benefited greatly from CHAZAQ’s services with hundreds of Jewish public school students attending their afterschool programs and learning the foundations of Judaism. In the last year and a half, over 370 of the children have been transferred to yeshivas.
To kick off this initiative, CHAZAQ held a community-wide Lag baomer extravaganza at Ohr Hatorah attracting close to a thousand people throughout the day! The community and CHAZAQ’s staff became acquainted and the programs are set to begin.
