Free Reflectors Available

Town of Ramapo Supervisor Christopher P. St. Lawrence has announced that reflective safety sashes are now available to residents. Bearing the inscription “A Safer Ramapo”, these sashes demonstrate the concern of the Supervisor and the Ramapo Town Board for the safety and welfare of each and every resident. Made of reflective material that will catch the eye of a motorist from a significant distance, these sashes are a must for anyone who walks at night. School children of all ages should be advised to wear safety sashes when coming home from school, especially in the winter months when it gets dark early.

The sashes are lightweight and provide exceptional visibility for dusk or nighttime activities. The brilliant neon yellow efficiently reflects oncoming light even when wet. The sashes will not restrict movement and easily fit over clothing or outerwear. The adjustable Velcro closure allows one size to fit all.

For sashes or additional information, please contact Elaine Silverberg at 845-357-5100 Ext. 324 or via email at silverberge@ramapo-ny.gov.

An Alumnus Gives Back

This past Sunday at Crown Condos in Crown Heights, Rabbi Moshe Wiener, a graduate of the Menachem Education Foundation’s Teacher Training Program and the fourth grade Rebbe in Cheder Chabad of Monsey, came back to the Teacher Training Program to share his experiences and ideas with the class of 5770.

Rabbi Wiener has gained a reputation as one of the finest young mechanchim in Chabad today. Rabbi Wiener traces much of his success to the Teacher Training Program that he attended in 5768 at the Menachem Education Foundation.

“I was in the first cohort of the program,” explains Rabbi Wiener. “None of us really knew how it would turn out, but we were pleasantly surprised at the level of sophistication that the program offered. It was an honor for me to be able to come back and share with the guys some of the methods and innovations that I use in my classroom.”

Rabbi Wiener showed the trainees how to use a method known as 1-2-3 Magic to achieve proper discipline in the classroom. He also showed how a little creativity and innovation can go a long way in helping with classroom management.

“Our teachers are shaping the future of Jewish education!” exclaims Rabbi Zalman Shneur, executive director of the Menachem Education Foundation. “Everything that our trainees learn is practical and hands-on; every part of the program is rooted in the practical realities of the classroom, not in some ivory tower.”

The class of 5770 was appreciative of Rabbi Wiener’s visit and lesson. The 3 hour workshop was filled with practical solutions and advice to everyday issues that present themselves in the classroom. According to a current trainee, Rabbi Shua Lustig, “It really showed us how everything we have learned is practical and hands-on, and can be adapted to fit into every classroom. That’s really the value of this program – the hands-on and practical element.”

The Menachem Education Foundation was established to raise the bar of Jewish education. The Foundation believes that the quality of the educator is the most important part of a quality education. The Foundation runs a Teacher Training Program for aspiring educators, The DaniEL Student Teaching Initiative and a Principal Leadership Program for current principals.
