Over 400 fathers and sons attended the first week of the Avos Ubanim Betzalel learning program this past Motzei Shabbos in Crown Heights.
The excitement on the faces of the children as well as on the faces of the fathers was contagious. It was heartwarming to witness the bonding of the boys with their fathers as they spent quality time together.
Incentives and prizes galore with inspiring divrei chizuk topped off this wonderful Motzei Shabbos experience.
Avos Ubanim is now closer than ever with seven locations throughout the neighborhood: Frankel’s Shul – 1619 President St., Aguda Shul – 456 Crown St., Eliyohu Nochom – 672 Lefferts Ave., Cong. 935-Chabad – 935 Eastern Parkway, Empire Shteibl – 489 Empire Blvd., 770 Eastern Parkway in the basement and Heichel Halimud Anshei Moshe at 1334 Lincoln Place between Schenectady and Utica.
The Avos Ubanim program is known as Avos Ubanim Betzalel in loving memory of Reb Betzalel Jacobson OBM, dedicated by his son Yerachmiel Jacobson.
This week’s learning was graciously sponsored לעילוי נשמת ר’ צבי בן ר’ וואלף גאיער.
There are several weeks still available to sponsor. Please contact Rabbi Z. Sorkin at 978-384-0770
A special thanks to Gombos for sponsoring the free rugelach every week for all the boys who attend.
Hope to see you this coming Motzei Shabbos.
BH… such nachas!:)
If I can’t have a real tatty, I don’t need a fake tatty.
I am okay and don’t need help.
We all have a tatty in heaven and He takes care of me just fine.
But there are others I know who don’t have a tatty and they really aren’t doing so great.
Meir, I would be honored to fill your “tatty’s seat” whenever you want, as often as you want, for as long as you want. No need to sit across an empty seat! Berl – A Crown Heights Tatty
In my shul we asked someone to learn with a child who’s father could not come he said I dont have a son of my own we told learn with a child Hashem will bless you within a tear he had a son.After years of barren life the Blessing was fulfilled.This program was started 22years ago in FRANKEL’s Shul we still have room for you and your son.Hashem yevarch
What time does the learning begin every motzei Shabbos?
Streaming down my cheeks are tears of sadness mixed with tears of pride. Your pain is felt. Yet your pure neshoma inspires and illuminates the dark and painful world we live in. It is unclear whether you “don’t have a tatty” due to death or divorce but it is clear that there is a painfully large void – an empty seat. May your void be filled.
I sat an learned while across from me thesefer was open but the seat was empty. I have no Tatty to learn with me. But I was at the avos u’banim and kept the chair across from me open for our Tatty in Heaven. He is the only Tatty I have.
