Shouldn’t every kid love school? Maybe, but not all boys are cut out for the standard system.
Darchai Menachem is not your typical yeshiva.
“Kids are not lazy. It’s not ADD. And it’s not being chutzpadik!” says Rabbi Menachem Vail, principal. When boys struggle in the classroom, it’s up to the educator to figure out why. “Whe we address those situations,” says Rabbi Eyal Bension, director, “students begin to thrive.”
Darchai Menachem was started 18 years ago by Rabbi Shlomo Lakien OBM. In that first year, twelve students gathered into a one-bedroom apartment–now, enrollment is at 104 students and there is a waiting list of almost 150 more names.
“We have to keep growing,” says Bension. “Every kid deserves a Darchai education.”
Today Darchai Menachem is raising $360,000 in 36 hours. Visit darchaimenachem.com to donate.

When children struggle in the classroom, the educator should work on figuring out why….
My kid has changed so much because of the school!
Thank you RS and RA!
Darchai is a one of a kind school. The teachers are excellent and the children really thrive here where they were failing in other schools. The staff is so caring and loving and give the children an authentic yiddeshe chinuch. The Rebbe is very proud of this school and everyone who gives will be blessed.
