Every year with the end of summer, comes the excitement of the children returning to school, sometimes referred to as Cheder, and in this case specifically Tzeirei Hashluchim Cheder at the Ohel.
But in addition to the children returning to connect with their old friends and new acquaintances, welcomed by the warm smiles from their teachers, they were also thrilled to see the renovations of their beloved Cheder.
It happened through total hashsgocha protis.
There was a brief Cheder meeting in a home of one of the parents who was doing construction in his basement.
When Izhak of I & G 2005 construction heard what was happening at the Cheder at the Ohel, he was deeply touched, especially because of its close proximity to the Rebbe’s Ohel, and immediately made the following declaration:
“You know what? I’m in need for some additional mitzvot. How about when the children are away during the summer my assistants and I will renovate whatever is necessary to make the Cheder at the Ohel look like a great yeshiva should look.”
Little did he realize that what was needed were new floors, a new roof, upgraded plumbing and electricity and the beautification of the Shul.
True to his word, Izhak came through without charging a penny for anything, and now the 50 students of the Cheder at the Ohel have the great fortune of learning Torah in a very pleasant and congenial atmosphere.
This is in addition to the wonderful playground that was sponsored by Feivish and Tamar Pewzner last spring.
In these fiscally challenging times it is highly unusual to be able to complete such a total renovation, but, Boruch Hashem, and with the Rebbe’s brochas, a true surprise occurred this summer at the Cheder at the Ohel.
Parents, students and teachers are delighted that the talmidim are learning in the new setting. Parents who want to learn more about the Cheder should go to www.Chederth.com. To buy a raffle ticket towards the grand raffle go to http://www.chederth.com//981130/
my sons love their school and their rebbeim (and morah Leah)
even though they never felt that anything was lacking in the years past and were happy just the same, we as mothers ane fathers are overjoyed that the schools gashmius is catching up to the excellent acedemic and chassidishe standards set by the tzeirei hashluchim at the ohel.
we really appreciate it Mr. Izhak!!! may g-d bless u with much sucess.
thanks,
a greatful mother.
I am a very ‘picky’ parent, that expects alot from a teacher. I am very pleased having some of my boys at Cheder at the Ohel. The varmkeit is definitly felt, and the boys come home with a chayis for learning, davening and the Rebbe.
Kudos to the Rebbes, they really think ‘out of the box’ and get very creative with the boys.
Rabbi Geisinsky has been a very big asset to the school as well. When you send your child to school you know they are being watched and looked over. Safety is a priority at the Cheder.
I loved the pictures in this article – they show the talmidim learning with such chayus and they also showed the beautiful new classrooms. Great Job!
This is truly a work of art AND a work of Chessed. but i must say when my son was learning there years ago, the place was physically a mess, yet the chayus in learning & dedication to the Rebbe shone through the lousy conditions. The Cheder has always maintained a very high standard of education, staffed with devoted melamdim & teachers, & these beautiful surroundings will make things even better! Parents…if you really want a great place for your kids to learn, you can’t find anywhere as good as this Cheder. They made my son into a learner, a… Read more »

its really nice that a grave site is so filled with life
my dear husband shlomie was dazzled by the floors it must have cost a fortune
my dear son mendek shmuel yosef dovid who is in the holy land will feel connected to the floors
i would like to say as a proud mother its just heart warming to see that the ohel has made such strides towards what the rebbe would have wanted my heart is warmed by the beautiful new cheder
B”H
If you do not have a child at the Cheder and live close enough… please check it out — we are VERY happy.
wow there are still some genuinely nice people around
if its nice in gashmius, its because its good in ruchnius!
It’s nice to see that the gashmios of the cheder is catching up with the ruchnioys, i know the teaching and the students were doing well, but this will help the talmidim.
its heartwarming 2 c ppl doing special things like this – especially at no cost!! purely 4 the mitzva.
