Another Outraged Parent Questions Why Brooklyn Yeshivas Have Not Started
September 2, 2009
YWN has been getting dozens of letters from parents outraged at why Yeshivas have not yet started in Brooklyn.
The following is the latest letter received: (Please see note at bottom)
Someone has to do an explanation as to why the Brooklyn yeshivos, of Tashbar (Tinokos Shel Beis Rabban) have not started Yeshiva yet and wont until after Labor day. They have been off since Mid to late June which would make the time off for both Students and Rabbeim close to three months when next week comes around.
I am thoroughly perplexed as to who made these decisions as to when yeshivos should start and i hope there are good answers to where are all the tefilos, and pure Torah of our most precious resource, our Tashbar.
We need all the zchusim we can get in these days of Yimei rachamim and Ratzon.
A gut gebenched Yahr.

EDITORS NOTE: Most people returned from the Catskills on Sunday 8/30/09, and most yeshivas are first starting classes next Tuesday (9/08/09). This leaves children with a full week and a half of nothing to do.
